And I'm telling you point blank - back down.

You can't pull the reverse racism card on me.

Product of a till death do you part 40+ year marriage (parents met in 67 and married in 69) and now married to an immigrant from Italy.

Bronx Boys post point blank said it wasn't about Clinton vs Sanders. The OP was about the prevalent attitude of "black Americans being too addled to make good political choices".

We didn't lead America to this place. The dominant culture did.

Married to a black man or not - don't come in here, derail threads, and make demands. Don't accuse bravenak of being racist or being against Loving V. Virginia. And that wasn't an item one could vote on (being for or against) it was a SCOTUS decision my parents ability to be married/have legal rights as a married couple in all 50 states.

And don't come back with a bunch of nonsense about Bill Clinton.

Only two Presidents have moved black people forward on the game board called America prior to January 2009 and they were Eisenhower and LBJ. FDR can shove off.
