Mr Young On Barack:

“Bill (Clinton) is every bit as black as Barack,” he said. “He has probably gone out with more black women than Barack.”

To put a brother in there by himself is to set him up for crucifixion. “He also joked that author Toni Morrison may have been n to something when she referred to former President Bill Clinton as he “first black president.”

“It is not a matter of being inexperienced,” Young told an Atlanta crowd this fall. “It is a matter of being young. There is a certain matter of maturity … You have to have a protective network around you… Leadership requires suffering. And I would like to see Barack’s children get a little older, see, because they’re going to pick on them.”

Young’s remarks come as Obama is battling with Hillary for support in the black community. Rev. Jesse Jackson, who had endorsed Obama, has een critical of the presidential candidate in recent weeks. Rev. Al harpton has said that he has not decided if he will support Obama.
