Never heard of him until now.
I hate to seem small minded, but seeing a black man wearing that kind of suit (plain, and generic) and a small black bow tie would have gotten my attention . I would be wondering if he was a part of Farakhan’s Nation of Islam. To be a part of that organization is not illegal, but still worrying, due to who they consider friends.

One of Barack Obama’s chief staffers right before his U.S. Senate campaign was NOI-before being reassigned. You couldn’t go into his office without seeing a swarm of hijabis.

Ford’s bow tie is to big for a FOI.
