2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumHillary & supporters have done a 180 on racial lines since 2008
The current meme is Bernie doesn't count because he's winning the whitest states. So white votes shouldn't count equally in 2016, while African American votes shouldn't have counted equally in 2008.
Here is Hillary race baiting during the 2008 campaign about "hard working Americans, white Americans" (so minority Americans aren't hard working, Hillary?) who were supporting her.

<In what appear to be the New York senator's most blunt comments to date regarding a racial division in the Democratic presidential race, Hillary Clinton suggested Wednesday that "White Americans" are increasingly turning away from Barack Obamas candidacy.
"I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on," Clinton said in an interview with USA TODAY.
Clinton cited an Associated Press poll "that found how Senator Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me."
"There's a pattern emerging here," she said.>
One pattern from 2008 remains. Less educated voters support Hillary and more educated voters support her opponent.

(10,650 posts)When it suits their purposes, they can be very "concerned" about the rights and plight of minorities. When it suits their purposes to garner white votes, they can play on white prejudices with the best of them.
The Hillary fanatics have the convenient amnesia of conservatives. As soon as the Clintons take a new tack on race, they forget the past and are right there to defend them. Very Orwellian.

(3,017 posts)But I suspect Hillary's supporters are pretending like they didn't see it. Or are they actually defending it at the same time that they post stuff on Bernie winning the "whitest" states?
