Rick Perry | Economic Opportunity Speech | Slavery
I really like the tell-it-like-it-is candidates.
May I have many more servings, please?...

At LegalInsurrection.com, Kemberlee Kaye reports on Governor Rick Perry's recent comments:
"'When it comes to race, America is a better and more tolerant and more welcoming place than it’s ever been before. We’re a country with Hispanic CEOs, with Asian billionaires, with a black President. So why is it, today, so many black families feel left behind? Why is it that a quarter of African-Americans live below the poverty line, even after the impact of federal programs like food stamps and housing subsidies? The supplemental poverty rate for African-Americans is nearly double the rate for other Americans,' Perry continued.
And then he dropped the hammer. This is lengthy, but well worth the few minutes to read. Promise. Oh yes, and emphasis is mine (but read it all anyway)."
