Hillary's support thus far from the Black community is largely based on name recognition, not her policies. I think most Black people can see that she's fake and phony as hell, and as Bernie becomes more visible, we'll see her support start to dry up.

I've always thought Ben Jealous was a bright man and a good leader for an NAACP that had been struggling to regain some of the relevance it had during the civil rights era. Many in the NAACP (and the leadership in particular) have long-since sold out to corporate interests and I wouldn't be surprised if they end up endorsing Hillary since she's the choice of the corporate-minded.
