Sugar daddy politics will never die.

I stopped the video after he said "I'm a dollar sign with a heartbeat in this nation". I thought he was gonna start rapping. Absolutely cringeworthy.

Obviously someone didn't tell him that this wasn't Def Jam Poetry.

Ugh, I hope Rand learned a lesson or two. Probably didn't though, given how little he learned about how to articulate his position on the CRA.

I'm AA, let me help: that CRA provision gave me the opportunity to eat at some bigot's diner. Now why would I want to eat food prepared by some racist is a mystery.

How should he explain his position on the CRA?

 

[Brett85]

Seriously, is that conservatives/libertarians answer to every problem? Just ignore something you can't talk about without using revisionist history (or to be more accurate completely skipping history) and hoping your audience is too dumb to realise it?

Pathetic.

I think we have a troll on our hands.

He did a pretty good job at the Louisville HBCU. "I'm happy with the results of the civil rights act. I just have some concerns about private property rights."
