Some things never change. We're a self defeating bunch of nitwits

109. Because the POTUS is from the monied power structure

Pretty much none of the people putting race as their highest priority seem to have any fight in them against the power of money and its capture of our system of government. That's more than a little suspect.

The most natural recipients of ire from people most concerned with racial issues, which to me is obviously Obama and Clinton, are magically exempt from their attacks, while the progressive left, dead in the water for pretty much forever, trying to rise from the ashes against all odds, finally has a couple of people (one at least, maybe two) taking on the power structure that is truly behind everything that is vile and evil in this land. And they are the people attacked.

Obama does indeed, or should have, some pretty good perspective on black lives. Yet the racist police state thugs have killed with impunity under his watch, with no consequence to speak of.

Hillary is at the very center of that power structure. Not a peep from the people here who prioritize race above all else. She has no cred whatsoever on issues important to blank lives, certainly less than Sanders. She has a massive campaign infrastructure with money flowing everywhere, infinite resources to spin out any image she wants. Her husband "reformed" welfare, among other things tragic to the black communty, not a problem apparently. Plenty of other examples.

Yet no push-back from the race crowd here. They defend her, and focus their angst on the one candidate who actually would fight for them. Bernie would absolutely be their best hope in reining in the police state, among many other things, and he says so, all the time.

The whole thing is suspect at best.
