I don't know Mr Ferguson personally, so I can't say what's in his heart. However, having read the entire article, I belive Mr Ferguson acted stupidly by comparing President Obama to Felix the Cat. I would think that someone who graduated with a first-class honours degree as he did would know better than to compare a black man to an animal. There is a long, sad, racist history of comparing black men to animals (buck, bull, stud, etc). Someone as educated as Mr Ferguson should know better than to make such an asinine comparison. The comparison in the lede of his column distracts from an otherwise thoughtful and reasoned opinion. It has become painfully obvious that America is not post-racial just because we elected a black president.
