In fact, of your 150 wealthiest people, not one of them is black. On top of that, only 3 of the US states have ever had a Black Senator.

On top of THAT, whatever you may believe, I think it speaks volumes that when running against Obama to become the democratic candidate in 2008, Hillary Clinton's campaign team sought to gain an advantage by photoshopping Obama's campaign image to make him have darker skin. This is a woman who was gunning for president of the US, and she chose that approach?
