Good question. I'm white, and can't speak for blacks.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1280&pid=120933

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

This whole post is racist as shit. "Blacks" are low information I.e. stupid and anti Semitic. Is it any wonder DU is losing its minority voices here?

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri Feb 19, 2016, 12:00 PM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: He wasn't saying they were low information as in stupid but low information about Sanders.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: There is no vitriol in this. Reply and argue on the merits, if you want. On name recognition/low information, there have been legit articles on that topic posted here, and the poster is not saying that means people are stupid, only the alerter says that. On anti-semitism, I know some people see "questions" as baiting, but they can also be a person's genuine questions. Don't assume the worst. It's a discussion board.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This is the most preposterous alert I've seen in quite a white. For 2 cents I'd alert on this alert. Stop it! This is discussion... what we're here for, remember?
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

My guess is, like many white folk, they are low information voters who vote name recognition. libdem4life Feb 2016 #21
