Make no mistake, Dave Bing is a true democrat but he’s a democrat who earned his money the hard way. He was turned down for a mortgage by a bank and instead of screaming about racism he took a job with the bank during the NBA off season.

It should be noted that Ronald Reagan awarded Bing the National Minority Small Business Person Of The Year in 1984.

Thanks for the background on Bing.
Sounds like the rare Democrat I could at least respect.
