Recently, Hillary Clinton faced a group of testy Black Journalists who were asking the candidate point blank: "Are you Black enough?"
Some argue the "other guy" is a better choice to represent Black issues in America today.
Mrs. Clinton asserted, "..I can make a strong case that my experience and my ideas, going back into the White House, is exactly what we need at this point in history."
She used the occasion to her advantage at The National Association of Black Journalists conference to underscore a number of bold-faced efforts she intends to pursue on issues affecting urban and black America when she's firmly ensconced in the Oval office.
Clinton is proposing a $10 Billion investment in Universal preschool and $100 million for Internships giving to middle-school and high-school student job skills.
She said she would increase funding for the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission and reverse proposed Federal cuts in child support enforcement.
Another worthwhile project is a plan to set aside $200 million over the next five years on community partnerships aimed at helping ex-offenders to re-enter the job market.
Where does she expect to get the big bucks from, Mr. Hsu?
