Bernie Sanders & Cornel West Go To South Carolina. Were Black Voters Listening?

Bernie Sanders & Cornel West Go To South Carolina. Were Black Voters Listening?

Ashley Causey, 24, a senior special education major from Florida, remained undecided, but said she was open to supporting Sanders. Causey, who is African American, said, "I do appreciate what he did when Black Lives Matter activists interrupted him" at a Seattle rally. "He let them speak," she said, and then "he made an attempt to address their concerns."

While she said it's important that Clinton is running - "as a woman I appreciate her making a move" - she said, "I don't think she is as in touch with marginalized people."

Donovan Hill, 19, a biology/pre-med major at University of North Carolina at Charlotte and an African American, said that while he "loves and supports" Hillary Clinton, he prefers Sanders in the primary, particularly because of the candidate's views on "income inequality."

There is nothing to indicate otherwise.
