That's true. O.K. Lets not kid ourselves here. You can't compare someone who votes for helping poor Blacks to someone who doesn't vote to help poor Blacks. He voted to help Black people in this country. Fact is he helped the same people he is accused of hating. Democrats do take this into account. Being a modern-era Democrat is not exactly what most present-day haters of Black People would probably choose to be. It's not like he got elected to a National Office. West Virginians made the choice (overwhelmingly by the way) to keep him their Senator. I would never have done that.
