I obviously disagreed with much of what Mike Huckabee had to say when he was running for president, though at times I found myself wondering why I didn’t dislike him as much as I theoretically should have. These comments today maybe show why I didn’t. Honesty. Pretend you grew up African-American; how would you feel?

“We’ve gotta cut some slack to people who grew up being called names; being told you have to sit in the balcony when you go to the movie; you have to go to the back door to go into the restaurant; you can’t sit out there with everyone else, there’s a separate waiting room in the doctor’s office; here’s where you sit on the bus .. .  And you know what? Sometimes people do have a chip on their shoulder, and resentment, and you have to just say, “I probably would, too.  I probably would, too.  And in fact, I may have had more of a chip on my shoulder had it been me.”
