Politics

Morrison caused a stir when she called Bill Clinton "the first Black President" saying that "Clinton displays almost every trope of blackness: single-parent household, born poor, working-class, saxophone-playing, McDonald's-and-junk-food-loving boy from Arkansas." This opinion was adopted by Clinton supporters like the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) and ridiculed by critics.
