When it's time to vote, the Clintons work hard to cultivate black support. If Hillary Clinton becomes POTUS, I hope she will be just as energetic about developing anti-racist policies. Hillary is not Bill, so perhaps she will not embrace Bill's policies, but more scrutiny is needed. And I'm a Sanders supporter - I think that his policies have more promise to make a positive difference in all communities.
