(11,945 posts)Because, compared to Bernie, she has done squat. You accuse him for not being at the forefront of all the Civil Rights protests, but you KNOW she has never been to ANY. So don't you be talking against him for it.

Her anti-PoC behaviors are out there for all to see: her support of Welfare Reform, her support of the 1994 Crime Bill ("super predators" , her racist attacks on Barack Obama in 2008 ("hardworking white people", suggestions of Obama's Muslim status, using photos in Obama in African dress in her campaign), her highhanded dismissiveness of BLM protesters on more than one occasion. This is cold-hearted, arrogant behavior, and you know it.
No one who seriously cares about People of Color could support Hillary over Bernie. No way.
Their records are out there for all to see.
