Since when is prosperity for all a "white" issue?

101. It was hard for me to understand too for a while.

I think the thing that I failed to appreciate was that Bill and Hillary have been building mutually beneficial networks of collaboration with Black and Latino leadership for 25 years on a national level. For 25 years they have been recruiting and appointing highly qualified POC in government positions and funneling millions of their foundation money to minority advocacy groups for the last 15 years.

This is not to say they are bought off, but the Clintons have developed a mutually beneficial relationship with POC that includes opportunities that have historically been closed off to them. HRC in the White House could mean another 8 years government positions.

This is not pandering. This is not rhetoric. This is making real change in POC lives directly and indirectly through role models.

I underestimated how much tangible good the Clintons have done for the POC community.

Bernie has done many wonderful things, but not in the same way as the Clintons.

I don't think that even if Bernie's rhetoric on social justice was as awesome as his rhetoric on economic justice, he would have been able to significantly change the POC vote in the primaries. I don't think if Bernie had said her name in PHX or followed Marissa Johnson with, "She is 100% correct and I will address this issue in more detail soon" it would have changed anything. I don't even think if BernieBros were nonexistent it would have changed much.

That's my take. They want more of what the Clinton's have already provided them.

I could be wrong, but that's my take. At least it makes sense to me.
