I really appreciate the education I get from you much younger posters.
That was the point I and a few others in the thread were trying to make. That Killer Mike's endorsement (which I don't think will have much effect at all) was actually not nearly as big a deal as the fact that he was wooed to endorse anyone at all! Like I said, it wasn't that long ago when candidates, even Dem ones, went out of their way to demonize black people from those stages. And now they are being openly, actively wooed and encouraged to participate as fully as possible.
This is only a good thing for black people. Especially young ones.
