Am I down with Hillary? No doubt. Was I down with William H.? No doubt. And I know it’s history one way or another, but wow. When we say “Endangered Species” in America, we speak of the Black man, not the white woman. And we have the chance to elect a Black man to the most powerful post in the world.
