Keep an eye on Bakari Sellers, and not just because he is, uh, slippery.

Smooth-talking, smart dressing Mr. Sellers may be the second black president of the United States for those two reasons. Heavy emphasis on the first.

By the darnedest coincidence, Mr. Sellers resembles Barack Obama’s kid brother. That is as accidental as the solution to a complex calculus puzzle.

Even though he only turned 33 years old last Monday, he is riding parallel rockets to the moon of politics.

A race-conscious CNN (naturally) commentator for the past decade, he has blended his very successful show business venture with political office. He was a liberal member of the South Carolina state legislature for eight years. Starting at age 22.

Out of necessity to remain at CNN, and out of conviction, he has the race jargon down faultlessly.

With crackling fire in his voice, his eyes and his mind, summoning a maximum amount of race-loaded jargon, last week he defended the bigoted black woman fired by ESPN for stylishly, on cue, calling President Trump and his followers white supremacists.

He defended her on the racially inflammatory grounds that “she was speaking her truth.”

Bet your next mortgage payment that if the dopey woman had been white and denigrated President Obama’s race, Mr. Sellers’s trumpet would have been tooting the opposite tune.

Mr. Sellers’s arresting good looks allow him the same uncommon freedom from serious inspection that Mr. Obama won 15 years ago.

Unmistakably, he has the jargon down as impressively as he reels off his catchy, not to mention kitschy, name – Obama-style.

Mr. Sellers is traveling what may be a largely unimpeded route to the White House – an observation that sounds outrageous.

At this promisingly early stage, don’t bet against it.
