Godspeed sir.
A shining example to us all.

Joe Clark viewed the at-risk and troublesome Black and Brown youth as worthless and disposable. The same way America at-large views them. I knew him, in the 90's, as well as his 2nd wife, his son and 2 daughters. This is not some Wikipedia sh-t. The Black and Brown youth that he felt "couldn't be helped," were nothing more than cannon fodder, used to boost his public persona, and advance his career. But at least y'all enjoyed the movie

Well, he was a Republican

I always felt Joe looked more like Robert Guillaume than Morgan Freeman
