(27,310 posts)to black folks. That is why I will not support Hillary who championed policies that threw more black folks in jail and threw more black folks into poverty. Bernie has been nice to black folks for a long time. Hillary, not so much.
But, I am not addressing the Black community. I am addressing you.
Do you stand with a candidate that championed polices to put massive amounts of people of color into jails and prison or do you stand with the candidate who fought against such policies when they were proposed?
Do you stand with a candidate who advocated to throw more PoC children into poverty or do you stand with the candidate you protested that policy from the get go?
Indeed. I am supporting a candidate that has been nice to black AND brown folks for a long time.
