NYT: Bernie Sanders Lags Hillary Clinton in Introducing Himself to Black Voters

[Number23]

60. Black folks backed Obama 80-90% and were disrespected and trashed at every opportunity here

Black folks now support Hillary at the same levels, and I'm not even sure how I feel about that. But it is what it is.

The black posters on DU are all over the map re: Hillary. We have some really strong supporters (Tarheel_Dem) some equally as strong anti-Hillary posters (LiberalStalwart), Omalley supporters (JAG and bigtree) and some strong Bernie supporters (noiretextatique). I'm just mentioning a few as a point of reference. Most of us are on the fence and some are leaning one way or the other.

So I don't know what's up with the hostility and how anyone could think that it's a good thing, I really don't. Black folks as a national average may be clamoring for Hillary but those of us that are here are all over the place. For smart people, for POLITICALLY SAVVY and not reactive, closed minded and stupid people, there is an opportunity for dialogue here. But we've all seen how the attempts at dialogue by 1SBM and bigtree have gone lately. Yet another opportunity squandered.

It's like you said, it's almost as if they believe the man can win without minorities. Wishful thinking or stupidity? Either way, again, the only person it's going to hurt is Sanders.
