I was curious what kind of help you would like? More food stamps? a free car ? A free foreclosed home ? Reduced crack prices ?

What kind of hand out works for you ?

Agreed. He' is a black man only in color. Don't ever fool yourselves into believing that he has ever "been there".

He may have had a fractured family, but that's about all i've seen that would put him in the realm of understanding issues in the black community.

Lets not fool ourselves here. The guy was educated at Columbia and Harvard. The "pulling himself up from by the bootstraps" story just doesn't jive.

LOL... I seriously hope you're not Black making such bigoted statements... so only poor, downtrodden, projects-raised Black people have "been there" or understand the Black community? I suppose that rules out MLK Jr. and Colin Powell as well. Ridiculous.
