While I am not a minority, in the sense it is most commonly used, (although as a 50+ year old, Jewish woman, with ADD and a physically disabled husband, I MUST be in some minority group), it just so happened that I wrote (I’m a freelance writer) a business plan for an African-American woman planning on opening a men’s clothing store, targeted toward minority men, in the Brooklyn Park, MN area.

She was absolutely thrilled to death with the job I did, because I spent the time finding legitimate demographics, census and statistics.

Living in Madison, WI, 98% of my work is done remotely and via the phone. Most of he time I have no clue what race, religion, nationality, sexual orientation, or any other factors like this my clients are.

Yet, because I also do many LinkedIn profiles, and they include pictures, it’s evident that at least 1/2 of my clientele is African American. It could be due to some of the areas I target, such as Milwaukee and Chicago.

Personally, I support anyone who is a decent, honest person; however, coming from a family where my mother escaped Nazi Germany “just in time,” I am very sensitive to the prejudices and needs of minority groups. Hell, I get it myself, simply because of my age! I’m sure if more people knew I was one of the three (lol) Jews here in Madison, I’d probably feel that as well.

So, I highly support Clark, personally, and as a minority. I hope anyone else reading this will too.
