It’s not like getting a manger, he’s the CEO. He was an organizer in the city of Chicago so him not growing up around us gives him a pass.

And this should be the final wake up call for black people. If the white dude as well as the black dude didn’t deem it important that blacks receive some sort of compensation or something that would allow blacks to make advancements to build wealth then we can’t be mad when white folks don’t make us a priority.
