I mean is there a Black person who doesn't? Sad reality of life in America.

Searched for drugs as an active duty enlisted man getting out to finish college. Had my college registration materials, active duty ID card, didn't matter, they searched my rental like I was a drug mule.

I have been fortunate. Some people have helped me along the way. The good luck of some DNA giving me some brains despite parents who weren't...well, very good at the job. Some good fortune. Sure, grew up poor, but thankfully, I have made it to 50 intact and with a good future ahead.

It's why I'm a Democrat. I don't believe we do it all on our own. We get help. We help each other.
