In order for a black man to "transcend race" he needs jump through the same ridiculous, bourgeois hoops that a white man does. This is how a candidate proves they are valid? I not only find this comment ignorant but also insulting and racist. A big thumbs down to the Clintons for associating with Robert Johnson. “We’ve always said we need a perfect, well-spoken, Harvard-educated black candidate who would prove we’ve transcended race.”
