“Listening to democrats today and its obvious that they feel a certain “ownership” of the black vote”

No question.

A few years back when Curtis Granderson played baseball for the Detroit Tigers he had an official photo of himself taken with the statue of Ty Cobb outside Comerica park.

When asked why he wanted his photo taken with someone perceived as a racist, Granderson gave a great answer. He said that racism is more of a perception of past attitudes vs current attitudes. He went on to say that Cobb was one of the greatest players ever to play the game and for his time showed a great deal more tolerance than many big league players did. Granderson laughed and said that Cobb was well known for being an ass but he was an equal opportunity ass.
