Did he think that African Americans should earn a majority of the income for their services?

He said no and then went on some tangent about melanin not determining tax policy. This is a low count poster that has in multiple posts brought up the "not about melanin" excuse to dismiss the racial aspects of something. Sorry, I'm not dealing with that shit.
