(34,648 posts)1. Clinton built relationships with THE BLACK COMMUNITY. And We are not anti Wall Street. Or anti bank. Or anti capitalism. We are not that. So saying wall street to a young black male makes him think Gordon Gecko, and guess what, MOST ADMIRE HIM. Sick right? Yeah. Capitalists.
2. Obama. Bernie wanted Obama primaried. That is what the black bloggers are discussing. Nobody really likes it or cares why. Just that he did. Black and white issue. Obama over Bernie all day. Hillary as the default wins.
3. The peopke going after black votes online and in person.. Spend so much time saying how much BETTER Bernie is and how Obama is like a Republican. Sucks but, they do. Plus, if you google looking for bernie groups that discuss Obama, they are none too kind. Why would a black person join? They won't. That's why his poll numbers are low. Bernie groups out there that are big communities are so uninviting to blacks. I check them out myself. Even reddit is just a cess pool and that is very big with Bernie peeps and young people.
4. They spend too much time complaining about a man all of us place up there with MLK. It is like beating ip on a living breathibg MLK. We sideye it and they just yell that it's about policy!!! We do not care. We do not join those groups. You and they or whomever can free speech all you want but we can hear tgat and judge and go AWAY. Looking around, I do not see the anti obama stuff drawing black voters. At all.
