And I think -- when you look at how they come after black conservatives myself Tim Scott Condoleezza Rice Thomas -- Walter Williams.

We intimidate them and they're afraid of us because more of us that are able to stand up on our own.

And talk about the failures of liberal progressive policies especially toward the black community.

When you look and see that my wife and -- all -- represent 28%.

Of a black family that you know with their children -- their home.

When you look at 14% unemployment in the black community 40% unemployment for black teenagers they don't wanna talk about that they definitely don't want to have individuals.

Or reacting to the tactics of Bob Barack Obama wants -- stroller space.

-- Shame on you Barack Obama it is time he ran a campaign consistent with your messages in public.

That's what I expect from you meet me in Ohio let's have a debate about -- -- I think that they played the race card army and we now know.

Probably the most in the camp -- and everything that they plan to do it all -- Article in the race -- have they played it does Joseph Biden played it.

Of course they have that's one of things -- to do they wanna make sure that they can get that large.

Voting electorate out there from the different communities they look at us as collectors not as individuals.
