up, does she?

ultimately doing more harm to black communities than Reagan ever did.

Such as.......? Anything, Michelle? Anything at all to back up such a loaded claim? *crickets* Not even a chart or graph showing any metrics? *more crickets*

My article cites how black unemployment fell under Bill Clinton.

It doesn't surprise me that you would reply without actually reading it, and then offer up Michelle Alexander's empty rhetoric as a response.
