Reply #47: When you find the grumblings from Detroit let me know [View All]

If anything, they appreciate him a lot in Detroit for having grown up in the projects and come from such a poor family that they had to sleep in their car between homes.


Most of us Black folks don't care about that- what we do care about is DKs progressive stance on reforming our racist prison system and treating rehabilitated ex-felons fairly by giving them back their voting rights and such so that so many of us won't be so permanently disenfranchised.

We are capable of thought and insight you know. Kucinich is doing very well in the Black community and a mistake we can forgive much more easily than some of the misrepresentations and positions from some of the other candidates.


Q: Fast forward to the convention. You have won the nomination. Name five frontrunners for your vice presidential slot.

Sharpton: Bill Richardson. Alexis Herman. Willie Brown. I wish Paul Wellstone was still around. I would look at Dennis Kucinich, whose politics I respect. And the fifth one? I would probably even entertain some discussions with somebody like Bob Graham.
