Here's the young fellow who knows what it is like to not be liked because of how he looks. George P. Bush, 38, son of Presidential Candidate and former Governor of Florida, Jeb Bush. He's a Texas Land Commissioner.
What an awful life with a grand-father who was CIA director and President, and an uncle who was President. He must suffer a lot of deprivation and denial of access to schools, jobs, and social life. Poor baby.
[From article]
Bush: It was important. I remember there was a time when my son went to Ocala to play baseball, a game on a team. And the team was a Miami team, the majority were Hispanics. My son George, he's dark-skinned. And they spoke horrible things about those from Miami. And naturally I had to explain or describe that people who hate are not the majority, and we just accept them and move forward. Because he was quite upset. Because he and his friends never -- since we live in Miami, we don't have a problem. But in other parts of the country, it exists. It's a good lesson to learn, to always remember that we still don't have a country that's full justice for all. We can see this in the African-American communities also, there's discrimination still. And in my life it's important to acknowledge this and to act about that -- yes.
