"I understand how difficult it can be for an African-American in todayâ€™s society. In fact, I can relate to black people very well indeed. My ancestors once owned slaves, and it is in my lineage to work closely with the black community. However, just because they were freed over a century ago doesnâ€™t mean they can now be freeloaders. They need to be told to work hard, and the incentives just arenâ€™t there for them anymore. When Iâ€™m president I plan to work closely with the black community to bring a sense of pride and work ethic back into view for them."
