Bill Clinton - First Black President?

Time Magazine’s Andrea Sachs recently interviewed Pulitzer and Nobel Prize winning author Toni Morrison if she regretted calling Bill Clinton “the first black President.” Here is what Toni Morrison had to say:

I said he was being treated like a black on the street, already guilty, already a perp. I have no idea what his real instincts are, in terms of race.
