Did those steel mills pop back up on Chicago's south side? Did he bring those jobs back? Did he make the urban decay go away? Did he rid the city of gangs? Did he get rid of all the dope? Did he make crime go down? Did he lower the 'baby momma' out of wedlock birth rate? Did the literacy rate go up? Did the graduation rate go up? Did the rate of black on black crime go down? Ron, not too many politicians have done a good job of handling the above. Rudy in NY cleaned things up pretty well, but he's really more the exception in major urban areas.

Actually, you just showed your true colors. You pushed the respect I have for this thread back about 50+ years. My high school art & design teacher taught me me the fine points of design & discipline. He made me work harder & longer than I ever thought I could to be a respected designer. His expertise & knowledge landed our who class an automatic acceptance to RISD. I couldn't afford RISD. I chose a 2 yr full paid scholarship to Columbus College of Art & Design in OHIO. BTW, my teacher and a couple other professors who made me a better person than I thought I could be were BLACK. Ron, Where are black people good enough for you in society? Pro Sports? Acting & Film? Science & Engineering? Fighting in BS wars for the "Rich White guys?" Garbage Collection? You may not want to visit Hawaii; there's a lot of colored people there. Their heritage is Polynesian. But I'm sure you'll only see them as black... Tim
