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.

““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.” “
Because a black person isnt remotely able to have done the same?????
Did the pander bear not think that sentence through first?”
How a billionaire, who’s only exposure to black people has most likely been the hired help, can get away with making a comment like this is mind boggling. I would love to hear Thomas Sowell or Clarence Thomas respond to that comment. The comment about the church shooting is just as bad:
“We just can’t let the average American have guns”

Isn't it obvious and insulting to black people that Bloomberg and Biden come out on MLK Day to pander? Doesn't the audience feel used and degraded? Like them wearing a UAW cap as if they worked on an auto assembly line at a Michigan plant? Or bib overalls and a straw hat to say how much they love corn on the cob in Iowa? And recently the anti-religion Socialist State worshipping Bernie helping to light a menorah publicly to kiss up to the actual Jews. Insulting.
After the photops are over they ignore and neglect all urban areas again.
I wonder how many black people are polishing chrome wheels on luxury vehicles for Pelosi or Bloomberg, mowing the mansion lawns or asking if they should serve dinner now for Biden? More than they see outside of home for weeks at a time.
Yeah, he wouldn’t have been nearly so BORING!
Why Mike, do you think you would not have worked as hard? You would have been less smart and poorly educated? You would have indulged yourself with drugs and a crime riddled life? You would have had 11 kids out of wed-lock? Please explain your racist views Mini-Mike. It seems Oprah did okay for herself.
Maybe not ... there are a lot of bagel bending, soul food eating bros and sis that came in the world in the seventies!
So, hand over all your money, ******-******. Now you've made a meaningful contribution to society. Sit down over there and keep your mouth shut from now on.
He got that from Judge Judy
I coulda been 5’9” with a body like Cristie Brinkley.
Notice HER endorsement of the mudget is popping up in commercial space during HER ‘show’.
Now, guarantee that sarcastic old broad would be the first to tell you that it is STUPID to be in ‘business’ or deal with the public and wear your political/religious/team support
where all can see it,
you are almost certain to alienate half of your customers/prospective customers.
Pandering S.O.B., but he's right in a sad way you know, he quite possibly could have have been aborted and never given a chance at life at all.
MB is writing a book: Short Like Me.
” if I had been black.” so your saying because you turned out RED your life is different?

LOL!
So would Dr. Ben Carson, the famous black neurosurgeon, would his life have been different if he had been born white? Bloomberg is another Biden.......someone so unprincipled, they will say and do anything to get elected.
He actually said that?!? Imagine if a conservative had said that. Imagine if Trump had said that. The msm would be calling him every name in the book and Madonna would get her wish that the WH would blow up.
Bloomberg says life would have turned out different ‘if I had been black’
No it would not.
You would still be a jive turkey... : )
Hey Mikey, you might have had “white privilege,” but you’re still a pathetic little midget! Your clumsy obvious pandering is insulting to all blacks.
My life would have been different if I had grown to be 6’7”; if I had been born a girl; if I had been born owning a lot of property in Santa Barbara, CA; if my mother had gotten an abortion, and if I had been born as stupid as this guy. I know. He’s a Democrat. So it is understandable.
