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.”

Because a black person isnt remotely able to have done the same?????
Did the pander bear not think that sentence through first?
“Bloomberg says life would have turned out different ‘if I had been black’”
He could have been born as Barack Obama, and became President for a lot less money than he’s shelling out now.
With a LOT of people I know, if they were black they would be far, far better off.

It probably would have. Also if he’d been Mexican-American, Hasidic, a mathematical genius, or a woman.
Relevance?
Quite a few in both parties tend to pander ...
If only Lebron James had been born White he might have stood a chance!
Bloomberg you are an ass!
This is cringeworthy.
WOW! Such insight huh!? Would it have been different had you not become rich? Spend your $2 billion tiny. Or should I say waste. Probably could have done some good for some TWSH country instead but too much ego.
