In reply to the discussion: "I am sick and tired of the black community making Bernie Sanders jump through hoops" [View all]Chakab
(1,727 posts)21. The poster wrote "misinformed" not "stupid." If you can't make an argument without addressing what

The issue is her "tone deafness." It's the sum total of the policies that the Clinton's have supported in their political careers and the affect that it's had on the black community.
They shit on black people to get elected in the early 90s, they shit on black people in terms of legislation when Bubba was in the White House and they shit on black people when Hillary was losing to Obama in '08.
How any person could come to the conclusion that they're the best option for black America is beyond me. They only thing that the Clinton's have for black America is empty rhetoric and pandering.
