Mike Bloomberg spent the day before Martin Luther King Jr. Day speaking about how race played a role in his own success as a businessman, saying that his life “would have turned out very differently if I had been black.”
Speaking to a crowd of several hundred at the Greenwood Cultural Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma on Sunday, the billionaire presidential candidate discussed his white privilege as part of his push to earn support among black and brown communities.
“As someone who has been very lucky in life, I often say my story would only have been possible in America, and I think that’s true, but I also know that my story would have turned out very differently if I had been black, and that more black Americans of my generation would have ended up with far more wealth, had they been white,” Bloomberg said.
“For black Americans, there was nothing that white landowners, businesses, banks and politicians might not take: Their wages and their homes, their businesses and their wealth, their votes and their power, and even their lives,” the former New York City mayor added.

Wow...“For black Americans, there was nothing that white landowners, businesses, banks and politicians might not take: Their wages and their homes, their businesses and their wealth, their votes and their power, and even their lives”
If ONLY he had stopped at pandering. Yesterday he was offering $1,700 for each black vote. Now this.
If only oj had been born white..he wouldn’t have got life in prison for murdering his wife...oh wait.
“How did this guy ever make all that money?”
Isn’t that the truth?
You, for example:

Bloomberg is quite old. When he was a boy, the civil rights movement was just getting underway. But, go ahead, Bloomberg, and throw Martin Luther King, Jackie Robinson, etc., under the bus. Say their lives achieved nothing and this country is no different today than what it was back then. And, pretend that all white people and all black people are interchangeable. White people are all privileged. No poor whites. No white children born into female-headed, single-family homes, or get into trouble with the law. No black children are born into intact families, or go to good no less great universities such as Harvard. And, for sure, there is no such thing as affirmative action in admission, hiring and promotion. No sir-ee Bob. No white person, anxious to get ahead, ever fakes being a Native American or curls and dyes her hair black; and which recent immigrant from Africa declines affirmative action because they have no connection to the history of race in this country.
Sorry, but that’s not the only factor. There are many others. And he knows it, but won’t allow himself to say it.
Bloomberg..........Biden with money..................
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
My favorite one I heard some guy say when I was in the USN:
“If a frog had wings, it wouldn’t whomp its ass every time it jumped!”
Bloomberg essentially invented electronic trading of sticks et al.
He was a engineer with an MBA and went to work for Solomon Brothers. He got demoted to the IT department where he figured out how to sort through trading info. He got laid off with a package and started up electronic trading.
If you use online trading, you use either his system or some derivative of it.
Sticks = stocks
Ok then.
So now he really thinks he is “Master of the Universe”!
Or a horse instead of a horse’s a**........
It’s part of the IT guy mindset, I think.
Yea, he could have been Sammy Davis Jr.
I don’t know about being Black vs. White, mini_Mike.
But it’s a sure thing you would have been killed in that Texas Church had a carrying patriot not been there to kill the mass murderer.
Well since mini mike is "If'n", if he had been born black, and 6' 10" and could shoot hoops, maybe he be a superstar.
If he had stayed a short, loud mouthed Jew, with black skin, he's right, things would have turned out very differently, he could've been Sammy Davis Jr.
IF this mini mike.
My Grandma: If frogs had wings, they wouldn’t bump their bellies on the ground.
He could have been a contender.
He could have been Shaquille.
"Like" and lol.
