Corey Booker Was Invited to the Black Genius Camp (BUT I WASN'T!)

During the 2008 election primary season, I learned from Geraldo Rivera that there is a black genius camp somewhere in the country where smart black folks are invited to learn how to master the American political machine. When I found this out, my first thought was, "why the hell wasn't I invited." I'd never even heard of the place... Apparently they're very secretive about who has attended the camp... it's like a black summertime skull & bones thing... but I'm pretty sure Cory Booker got an invite.


1. Kwame Kilpatrick - just because at every all-black function there's a G... (Unfortunately I hear he got kicked out because he didn't know what the price of arugala was, in fact, during an argument with Barry Obama, he contended that arugala isn't salad at all, it's the sound you make after sex ... http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=arugala)

2. Barack Obama - No-brainer... I mean, it was probably his idea...

3. Deval Patrick - He's kind of the man... he made a biter of Obama? http://rawstory.com/news/2008/Geraldo_Obama_got_speeches_from_black_0222.html

4. Adrien Fenty - He's the head of the most powerful city in the world's local government...

5. Maxine Waters - just because I've met her in person... ( I admit that there should be more women on this list.)

6. Cory Booker: This guy could be the next black president... my next post examines what makes him such a stand-out.

  1. LOVED Corey Booker when I met him. Such an articulate, charming and likable guy! It's great that people are noticing him so early in his political career - I'm excited to see what heights he rises to!
