For white people who live in communities that are 99.9 percent white, (and there are lots of 'em) Antoine Dodson, along with Barack Obama, Oprah, Denzel Washington, Lil' Wayne, and Eminem, is now a crucial component of these whites' perception of Black America. I can't imagine how confused they must be.
Maybe I'm underestimating the ability of the inhabitants of whitebread towns to see past the black figures most often featured in the media, and realize that not all black people are these larger than life characters who talk funny.
I don't think I am, though.
