This is the real implicit racism of the left. What the hell is inspiring about him? Oh, he's black. Imagine the Globe calling a white candidate inspiring? They won't.
It's like talking about a severely autistic kid sinking a basketball basket. If you or I did it, it's just a basket. If the autistic kid does it, it's 'inspiring.'
This is how the left talks about blacks. As for me, I don't care, white or black, Duval was a terrible governor, simply because he's a lefty, and lefties destroy things from within no matter their intentions.
They call Liz Warren inspiring. Al Gore, too. Barney Frank. Even Menino and McCain on occasion.
