17. Hillary has better specifics than Obama.

I do not believe that Bill Clinton ever let lose of his anger over Obama winning the election. When Hillary Clinton went to Congress there was an article where one of the elected officials was gushing how they couldn't wait for Hillary to be President because she actually knew the issues, etc. (seeming to infer that Obama was stupid). And Trump has praised Hillary for being smart while continually calling our elected officials stupid and I've always thought he was referring to Obama (his dislike of the man is long standing). I'm sure that the Clintons would like nothing more than to be considered better for the blacks than Obama and for Bill Clinton to regain the crown of the first Black President. They are angry at progressives who supported Obama instead of Hillary.

We have serious racial issues in this county and something desperately needs to be done to stop the killing and brutalization of people by the police force and the fact that a black teenager can be killed in this county and the murderer get off scott-free because unconscionable defense attorneys will play on the unfair stereotype that Blacks are angry and dangerous people. However, it isn't like these type of actions just occurred, which begs the question why now? And why does it seem that things are unfolding which will push a race war rather than resolve the issues for the Black Community. I think the answer is obvious. Divide and conquer and the hedge fund owners, the corporate interests and the 1% can retain control of this government.

After the Trayvon Martin case I thought this nation might finally have the discussion on race that was so desperately needed. Piers Morgan had a great town hall on the Trayvon Martin trial and I thought finally... However, Piers Morgan was fired and no national discussion was held.

As far as big money backers manipulating this group. Let me assure you, if I had unlimited funds I could manipulate a group of individuals for my own advantage without being in their face saying - hey I'm manipulating you. It doesn't take a genius, just someone devoid of conscious.

Painting progressives as white supremacists while lauding a Clinton with their track record - the prison industrial complex, welfare reform, etc. and Obama as better than Clinton for Black Americans..... Hmm.... So who do you think is behind this? I don't think it takes a genius to figure that out.

Black Americans have every right to be angry. However, how things are unfolding will not make things better, only worse.
