More often than not I tend to take that L.
Where is the time stamp when he talks about T-Bone
Charlemagne asked that man three times what will he do for black people and each time he side stepped the questions 
and kept juelzing bout all Americans 
2:56 Charlamagne asks Cory if he has a specific agenda for black people
3:00 Corey laughs at the question then goes on to rattle off talking points about his positions for America for 2 minutes
5:04 Charla reasks the same question
5:06 Corey reiterates that his agenda is for America not black people
5:07 Nail in the coffin on me not voting for Corey Booker
CTG: "Do you have a specific agenda for these Black people"?
CB: "I have an agenda for all Americans".
That's tells me all I need to know bout this c00n

. I don't know anything about him, but in order to win the presidency, he can't just speak to Black Americans. Black Americans won't carry him through the DNC and they won't carry him through the Presidency. In today's "bite sized clips" media, if he says the wrong thing, any of his competitors will use that as fodder that he is ONLY going to cater to Black Americans. It's a tough line to tow. If he comes out and says "I have this specific plan for Black Americans" then any "other" subsection of Americans can question why he doesn't have a specific plan for them (but but what about LGBTQ Americans, what about Hispanic Americans, what about White Americans, etc. etc.). Even though he is black, mentioning specific policies that don't blanket ALL Americans becomes a slippery slope opening him up for criticism. I'm with you on the 
skepticism, but sometimes we gotta think a little broader. Hilary did the same thing on the BC. (I get that one lady candidate is running on a platform that directly mentions reparations and how that can refute my argument. The thing about her though is that she is not and has not been elected to public office before. I fully plan on voting for the Democratic out of the primaries though, full disclosure)
He does mention the mass incarceration reform and the baby bonds which - although they aren't black specifically and singularly - they definitely affect black people in a positive way. I would imagine being the second black man running for president is harder than being the first. The "uniqueness" has worn off. He can't rely on a lot of things that Obama was able to. If we want another black man in office, there has to be an understanding both ways. The whole "
if he isn't outwardly and singularly pro black" isn't realistic for any candidate. A candidate that has policies that speak so specifically to a minority in a white majority country has zero chance of winning the office.

getting blitzed.
Yep. Next.Charlemagne asked that man three times what will he do for black people and each time he side stepped the questions

He tiptoed around the black agenda question and I immediately lost interest.

He can't be going out in public all "say mang I'm about to do this/that yada yada for all my black Americans out there"
Perfect way to shoot yourself in the foot when running for office

Im tripping off the fact he said the country was founded by "imperfect geniuses" who put forth these ideas that were bigger than them. He deserves to be slapped upside his head.
Them white man were flawed human beings who hijacked Thomas Paine's and the Enlightenment's literature and ideas, and though they professed "All Men are created Equal" in their written law, yet they founded their nation built upon enslaving and exploiting black folks for capital, while excluding them from citizenship and full rights under the law.
These men purposefully used the law to make black folks the untouchables of the USA. There is no genius in that. That's deliberate chicanery and bigotry.

Not saying he can't say or do for others cause of course anyone running with a "ima do this just 4 this race only" plan will fail, but when you say ALL, then that means us too; If you say all we want to know what's his plan for us in the overall agenda because we have specific needs than everyone else because out history is specific, We're not concerned about his agenda for anyone else because they'll take care of themselves and get Cory to look out for them.

I don't think you listened to what he was saying. He specifically addressed issues that disproportionally affect black Americans and presented solutions that would disproportionally help black Americans.
You guys need to get off of this simplistic mindset of "IF IT DOESN'T SAY FOR BLACKS AND BLACKS ONLY THEN I CAN'T SUPPORT IT".
See this rationale would hold weight if gays and shyt werent getting preferential treatment from politicians so its obviously entirely possible to explain how you will use your platform for a specific segment of the country.
