Which candidate may be in a better position to understand the historical context of those issues?
I am still of the opinion, that we should hold our elected officials to a platform of eliminating official poverty. Simply engaging in deficit spending on a warfare-state industrial complex will never solve the underlying issue of poverty in the US.
In a mixed market economy, simply having an income is a better form of guaranteeing individual liberty than any amount of laws that tend to have the effect of denying and disparaging liberties to an individual.

People are in prision for doing something WRONG. It was the Clinton administration that did the 3 strikes & your out. Which I thought was a very good idea. This includes many whites whom are also in prision.
It appears to me that the majority of the white population was more than willing to support a black candidate.
Obama didn't get where he is today, simply by blacks voting for him.
Obama makes more than the overwhelming majority of whites in this country.
Yet, Obama made a very poor
judgement call. That is to become a member of a racist church, that also blames America for all of their problems. This will spell his doom.
No speech, or continual rejections of his pastor's hateful statements are going to override his 20 year membership into this organization. No one is going to believe his statements: That he didn't know.
If he is the democrat nominee, he is going lose.
One cannot move forward while continually looking out the rear view mirror.
