It comes from his being an educated man with a family history many on this site cannot begin to fathom the depths of, yet he continues to fight the good fight for his people.

He has said honestly AA's are his first concern but is definitely liberal, progressive, pragmatic and a Democrat. He is NOT a racist, either, but some have tried to claim he is.
