will alienate them from their loved ones and congregations and is too divisive for them as community leaders? i refer to the rev. al sharpton, too. neither of them has endorsed hillary, either.

in addition, they are holding hillary and bernie to very high expectations - and for legitimate reasons - no more just talking the talk - they want to see them walk the talk and present viable plans of action for a multiple issues affecting the african american community.

in addition - true leaders let the people decide - they do not decide for those they represent/lead.

yes, their endorsements would help either candidate - but this is not about helping the candidate - it is about communities choosing for themselves. unlike, dws and the dnc.

trust the process.
