no access to good jobs and there's no way out of it. You have a situation of despair versus a situation of optimism, opportunity and the American dream, frankly."

When I asked him about gentrification, housing discrimination, the Alva Braziel case and education disparities in the black community, he didn’t answer any of my questions but over talked me and told me that’s why I need to vote. What does voting have to do with him not explaining why he has not voted in favor of black people moving into decent housing? What does voting have to do with his negligence of the black community?
