I have a few thoughts on this.
1. Technically he never said he was black, his fliers had pictures of black people and the 'fine print' clarified that he was white.
2. I still think it was very bad precidence and tacky at best, maybe made him a bad human being at worst.
3. Here's what I find hilarious, people are up in arms that they voted in a white dude, it just goes to show me that so many people are voting on the color of someone's skin rather than the candidate that actually best represents their interests.

I have no sympathy for anyone fooled who voted based on skin color. The morality is between him and his creator, if any. Beyond that, tough shit. Research more thoroughly before casting your vote, racists.

"and the 'fine print' clarified that he was white."
it would be interesting to see the flyer, from the article it appeared that he just said he wasn't the "other" guy with the same name, and not necessarily a mention of race.

I'm literally laughing my ass off at this.
This dude pretty much just unmasked an entire voting block.

Never invest in anything based on color
