I mentioned this in another thread earlier, but here is somebody who grew up in very wealthy and privileged surroundings in Honolulu, because his white mother was a university professor and her parents in turn were a bank vice president and proprietor of one of the better furniture stores in the area.
While not trying to stereotype here, but given the above, what sort of credibility concerning class and race issues did he bring to the table to begin with? Absolutely zilcho, except that the media were so full of the idea of inventing him based on those things.
Yes. I agree. He doesn’t come politically with any black “civil rights” credentials.
