Lots of folks will never forget her dog whistling during the 2008 campaign.

I don't share the belief that Bill threw black folks under the bus. Alot more black folks went to jail under Clinton but ALOT more black folks also went to college under him. Under Clinton is when alot of black folks felt they were finally getting the tiniest sliver of the American dream and I can't discredit or fault so many for feeling that way.

I posted this question because I just saw someone say that there are more black supporters for Bernie Sanders on DU than for Hillary Clinton and I was curious if that was actually true.
