He'll have a better understanding of the experience of being black than you or I.

You're equating the perceptions of an average black man with the perceptions of a white supremacist. That's racist, tim. You're certainly welcome to your opinion, but your opinion is racist. Instead of blaming people that are trying to help have you ever asked yourself if it's attitudes like yours that contribute to inequality?

It's a lot easier to believe that you're simply making this up.

I'll tell them that we're going to finally give them access to the same government benefits that rich white people have gotten for generations. I'll tell them their kids will get textbooks that were written in the last 10 years. I'll tell them they'll be able to earn, just like their white counterparts, their way to college. I'll tell them they're going to finally get the same police presence as rich neighborhoods in order to protect them and their children from cocaine and herion. I'm sure they'll be crushed. Whatever will they do, finally getting an equal opportunity to succeed? I'm sure you'll be there to comfort them in their time of need.
