Ernie,
What you said is completely true, but you cannot say he is an inspiration to minorities that they can be what they want to be as a blanket statement because it is not true. Those that only see his color first will feel that way, but those who actually take the time to look at how he got to where he is in an effort to bring themselves up by understanding his path quickly see he was not born and raised in the slums. They see he had every opportunity handed to him that they will not.
