I don't understand your post one bit!!
In the past, you have gone on and on about Black Businesses. Black businesses, empowerments zones, and access to capital went up astronomically under Clinton. Black business ownership and home ownership skyrocketed under his administration.
You say Clinton didn't appoint any Blacks to any significant positions? The Sec of Agriculture has the largest budget and the most discetionary spending of all cabinet positions. Clinton appointed a Black man, Mike Epps, to that position, and the Republicans were so upset by that that they spent his entire 8yr term trying to get him on accepting a few thounsand dollars worth of gifts.
Codoleeza Rice? Yeah Bush appointed her, and what is the first thing she did? Deny her Blackness (in so many words) and say that there is no need for affirmative action. Colin Powell (whom I like), but when he had a chance to prove something to AAs, he decided to boycott the Racism Summitt. So are Bushes Black appointees doing us any good?
As far as Bin Laden, he was created by George Bushes Sr CIA. The Bush family still does business with the Bin Laden family through the Carlyle Group. Clinton bombed Bin Laden in 1998 after the embassy bombings. The heads of the CIA and FBI during Clinton's admin were holdovers from Bush Sr. What does that say?
Yeah, Harlem was his second choice, but it was his choice and he is there. Clinton will always be Slick Willie and he is not an "honarary" Black person, but lets not re-invent history.
One last thing, wasn't Clinton the best prez ever for gays and lesbians?
