Is there some reason that he is supposed to act like one?
Just what is it that you expect from anyone who speaks a opinion? Is there some sort of rule that he violated?
Can we not talk about race and the failures of decades of government policies and billions of dollars of tax moneys.
Or is that now off limits?
The question he posed, and he did not answer it because the answer is in the question, is simply this....
Are black families better off now, today, in Detroit, New Orleans, NYC, Chicago, and Atlanta or any other large city with a large black population, then when they were slaves?
The standards to use should regard all of the important things like family, work ethics, the drive and desire that your children have a better life than the parents did. Social structures, happiness, and general health and welfare.
The important American family things...
Are they better off now then they were then?
That is what he was asking.....and he would not have asked or said what he did if what he was seeing had not touched his heart and made him angry at the outcomes of all that time and government effort spent to do harm, and not good. And all done for political reasons...as you well know.
“Is he a politician Snarky?”
He chose to go before a national audience. The NYT.
“Just what is it that you expect from anyone who speaks a opinion? Is there some sort of rule that he violated?”
He sounded off in a way that comes off as racist. As I pointed out and demonstrated upthread, he could have said the same thing and never mentioned race.
“Are black families better off now, today, in Detroit, New Orleans, NYC, Chicago, and Atlanta or any other large city with a large black population, then when they were slaves?”
Really? Are they better off now than when they were in forced servitude? Sorry, that doesn’t even deserve an answer. Really?
“The standards to use should regard all of the important things like family, work ethics, the drive and desire that your children have a better life than the parents did. Social structures, happiness, and general health and welfare.

Are they better off now then they were then?”
Right. And that should apply to all Americans not blacks or whites or yellows or what the hell ever. But he brought race into it. That was not smart.
