I've asked here a few times why it is so easy for people to disregard those hundreds of thousands** of black voters while they're busy accusing Sanders and/or his supporters of disregarding black votes. Haven't gotten much of an answer yet.

(**I'm guessing we're into the hundreds of thousands on this by now- I did the math once, several weeks ago, and it was well into the tens of thousands of black voters who picked Bernie based on info available. I don't feel like researching and doing the math today but I don't think I am wrong, and if I am, just correct it to 'tens of thousands' - either way, it doesn't change my point).
