it appeared/appears that this is the Bernie Campaign's (and the Webb campaign's) bet ... they can attract enough disaffected white voters to offset the loss of the Black, and possibly, the Hispanic, vote.

If this is the case ... if election theory holds true (i.e., you dance with those that got you there) ... this doesn't bode well for the Black (and/or the Hispanic) community.

Note: This is not to say, a Bernie Presidency would work to hurt the Black Community; but rather, a Bernie Presidency would ignore ... no ... deprioritize, the Black Community. For example, the DoJ's resources would likely shift to jailing the bankers; while, voter rights continue to be denied.
