I think it's funny now. He sounds like somebody I could be friends with.
I thought he was all right. Some thought he was crooked, but if he was, he did it with style. Always well dressed, and better manners than some white folks around. Like him or not, he was a pillar of the black community and thought little of the race agitators who came down from D.C. to try to stir up trouble.
