I think it’s naive to assume that the Black community in South Carolina isn’t affected by the same envy that buried the Clinton campaign in New Hampshire.
Having gotten to know our neighbors across the street, I’ve seen the sacrifices that people make to be part of the 1%.
Naturally, you have to be born with looks, charm and the “right” physique – for men, tall, for women, petite.
You also have to have a little luck: timing for one. No one succeeds without opportunity.
But after that, it’s a matter of discipline, and for that reason, I can’t help but admire people who have “made it” on their own.
