Supporting a black man, born poor, that has done well.

Commentary? Typical.

"SCOTT: Well, I will tell you. It's no slight, to be honest with you.

Ultimately, I'm thankful for those who actually know who I am, who celebrate the success of me and my family, particularly my grandfather and my mother, who paid a high price to make sure that I had an opportunity to succeed.

This is a good day. Frankly, the fact that the NAACP does not weigh in, in a positive position has been my experience for the last four years of elected office. Nothing has changed. That's OK with me."

So, if he doesn't care, why should anyone else?

Because it's amusing.

"We're for the advancement of colored people - but only those colored people who do as we say. Those uppity ones can pound sand."

Other than in their name, there mission doesn't seemed to be focused on getting colored people to higher positions in society.

What has he done that is not in tune with all that?

I don't know you tell me. But not doing anything isn't the same as doing something.

To them, he isn't black, end of story.

I swear, every time I see a post from you I think of Donald "Magic Man" Majkowski of the Green Bay Packers.
