Oops, didn’t answer the second part of your question... Yes, he should run for Mayor, that would give us an idea of how he’d perform in a political capacity. We had a Black Republican businessman run for NOLA Mayor who switched to the Dems as a matter of convenience, he managed to get elected and did pretty well... until a natural disaster named Katrina hit and he turned into an incompetent basketcase. You probably know his name. Goes to show that not all Republicans are up for the job of leadership.
Here in Detroit, my husband was actually in business some time ago with Dave Bing...Detroit's newly elected mayor. He is a great guy, wonderful family man, smart and decent. But with complete faith in government. He will never be a Republican.
I think we lost a window of opportunity with RR, I said then that we do not live in a vacuum, and should address the inner city public housing projects...imo, they were/are immoral. To force decent families to live with criminals like that is a sin. I think we could have “saved” some then, we could have smashed the whole idea of public housing.
Anyway, the Rev Wright's “church” and Katrina before that, showed me that it will be generations, if ever, before we can reach those blacks that have been marinating in hate for us, for so long. The MSM/DNC/Hollywood/Academia war room have done their job well.
