Obama Begs Unenthusiastic Black People To Vote For Clinton, Please

[UCmeNdc]

The president hit Duval County, where a strong African-American turnout could get her to the White House.


In his continuing tour of key swing states Thursday, Obama brought his warning against that sort of attitude to Florida’s Duval County, home to a large African-American community whose solid support helped him win the state twice.

“I know that a lot of you may feel cynical. There’s a lot in this election that can make you feel discouraged,” he told a packed basketball arena at the University of North Florida, singling out the younger voters in particular. “Right now, young people, you have this opportunity that doesn’t come around all the time. Where history can move. You can bend the arc of history in a better direction.”

1. I think that's a silly headline.. I've seen a lot of enthusiasm from African American Voters

about Hillary.

How does SV Date think she got to the General?

2. I agree..

The media seems to be milking this one big time.

9. You are right because numerically 100% of eligible black voters can vote in a state and they black

... vote can be "down" proportionately because blacks only represent 15 - 30% of all states IN THE SOUTH.

The M$M takes what ever the alt-right says and repeats it... they're mentally lazy to no end

3. i think the stunt with the fbi is going to galvanize african american support for hillary

many of us are looking at this b.s. with weiner's email they tried to pin on hillary, and at the same time their cover up of drumpf's dealings with mother russia, and relate it to our own treatment by some in the law enforcement community. it's pretty clear what the fbi and gop is attempting here and minority voters are not going to fall for it.

5. Exactly. I've talked about with my friends and they see this

..the same way. Focus on the minor stuff of the victim to call attention away from authority's misdeeds in this case FBI interference in an election vs some lousy email

4. They're not unenthusiastic. But mass voter suppression in the form of reduced polling places

and selective vote purging is reducing their numbers.

6. Unenthusiastic????

You have to love the media.

8. The reporting on the black vote is FUCKED UP !!! Black votes are NOT down NUMERICALLY they are down

... PROPORTIONATELY because even if 100% of a states eligible black voters voted and only 10% MORE white voters voted in that state then the black vote would go down!!!

The M$M isn't reporting NUMERICAL votes relative to the black vote and that's fucked up !!
