81. Amazing that it is implied from a Poll....

With a margin of error as wide statistically as the Pacific Ocean, Bernie has little if any support from our fellow African-Americans Brothers and Sisters. Funny!

This is were Educating Our Folks on Why Bernie is the Candidate whose pulse is at the core issue of many African-Americans plight --- INCOME INEQUALITY -- will be a job folks like us will PROUDLY take on the next 18 or so months ahead.

Don't be fooled by this poll. Folks outside of the Bubble --including the MSNBC Bubble -- know the Real Fight is about Survival and One Cannot Survive if the Top 10% continues its quest to make those of a certain income and ethnic background, modern day indenture servants.

Here a Clue: Don't Believe the Hype of this "Poll". It's a sequel many in the African-American community will not fall for -- Again!
