"....I'm blacker than Barack Obama. I shined shoes. I grew up in a five-room apartment. My father had a little laundromat in a black community not far from where we lived."

-Rod Blagojevich, in his Esquire interview


Cause being black in America has everything to do with shining shoes, five room apartments and living and working amongst (or near) black people.

staying on the respectful note. the website you provided does not change my perspective on the issue.

his skin color is still the same no matter what social bracket he lies in. if race were as simple as the income your parents make, we would be living in a completely different type of america.

cheers.
