Reply #30: A single mother

[graycem]

with a bi-racial child in that era is hardly elitism and you know it. Just because he faired better later, doesn't mean that his mother didn't struggle for the time period after his father left. It is absurd to dig up facts about the food stamp program to try to discredit something like this.

Is he elite in the "intelligence" sense, of course. But he earned those scholarships because of that brain. Do we have to discredit every inch of his life to make people happy? He's a Democrat you know.
