Trump, a billionaire businessman, has done more to help black Americans than the first black president has. Let that sink in.

Another brilliantly worded, insightful, completely coherent post that you obviously didn't write while high.

Great photo.

Probably did it out of actual respect for Rosa Parks rather than Hillary who only pimps out minorities for her own selfish financial gain.

Yes. For publicity.

Quote

Mr. Fugazy said the medal was thought up in June, after the foundation's naming of 12 naturalized Americans for the Medal of Liberty had produced an outcry. Critics of the award noted then that not even such major ethnic groups as the Irish, Italians and Poles were represented among the 12.

At the end of June, Mayor Koch reacted to the protests by naming 87 prominent Americans of foreign ancestry to receive the 1986 Mayor's Libery Award. Some of those honored by the Mayor are also on the Ellis Island list.

In other words, white people complained that they weren't represented enough, so they came up with some pointless sympathy awards.

Here's a pullout of that photo where they are standing with another great humanitarian, anti-gay activist Anita Bryant.

Incidentally, Hillary Clinton received the award in 1999.

In reference to the emboldened above - Kinda sorta like BET, huh? As with most such things, it is not a case of "it is what it is", but rather, it's what we choose to make of it.

We should be celebrating what we have in common instead of what makes us "different". There is far more of the former than the latter. Like I said, it's what we choose to make of it.
