And here is an excellent example of how you take your assumptions, possibly built from your own racial biases, and create a straw dog out of them that you then try to use to bite your political opponents. It's common knowledge that minorities ARE the minority beneficiaries of various social programs. But it makes you comfortable or superior in your own mind to demonize your political opponents beyond rational boundaries.
Besides, Clinton was out first
black president. Obama is our first
gay president.
