Ben Jealous: “I don’t think that’s the case. I don’t think that’s the case. I don’t subscribe to those theories…We’ve got to stop focusing on race, start focusing on reality, which is all of us are hurting.”

I have to give Mr. Jealous credit where it is due. He could have blamed Wall Street for being racist but didn't.
