A couple of other candidates that had an unfair advantage because they were black.

According to Herman and Geraldine Ferraro, these two should have had it wrapped up early last time around. But instead they were lucky to get 1 or 2% of the vote. Sorry, Geraldine but you are full of shit!

PS. I was a big Carol Mosley Braun fan!

9. No kidding. Just look at their ridiculous stranglehold on the Senate and Governorships.
The black free ride in this country has got to end.

16. If it weren't for the advantages of their skin color, they'd be much worse off.

14. Neither of them did very well in 2004 at all though
And Sharpton is a bit of a racist himself. I still don't think he ever apologized to those Duke lacrosse players.
