I take offense to your basic premise that black voters are conservative. There are MANY issues, and all of us are more or less conservative on some of them. YOU do not get to decide which of these issues are definitive. Bernie Sanders is NOT the arbiter of modern progressivism. A bunch of people who are so hidebound and regressive that they want to take the progressive movement back to a time before civil rights and women's rights, ignore the historical facts that made those battles necessary, do not get my vote as "most progressive". I DO NOT accept your basic premise that educated whites are more liberal that blacks, and I will not allow you and yours to define the parameters of this particular discussion.
Also, as I detailed elsewhere in this thread, I don't give a single shit about ideology.
