For quite a while now. We just assumed it was only whites who did so...

You can not blame African American anymore than can really blame the general public. It is MSM that is doing this. If African Americans had actually had the truth the would never have voted for Hillary aginst Sanders. On his Civil Rights past would won over most of them if he was not swiftboated out of it. Sanders is a crappy modern day politician but I hope he never changes, because at least I can say I voted for a honest man for POTUS.


Edit top clarify I mean he is crappy because he did not go all dirty and lie like majority of the others do in this day and age.

Same thing on our side. As the show says "The Truth is out there", yet many refuse to bother to believe it, instead they go with the propaganda told by their Pastor or the nice man on the radio/TV on what to think.

There are more than enough POC out there on Sanders' side telling the whole truth. It is not hard to find.

Going Dirty and lying would destroy Bernie's appeal.

Hell, I could tolerate her if she'd seize the moment, notice that the FUCKING OPPONENT IS ON THE ROPES, and go in for the knockout....

....but no, she want's the rich to get a little richer. It's a model that's worked well for her and hers. We can bleed this sucker a little more dry before we open the spigot and let it trickle down a tad more than those awful GOPers would allow.

I somehow have not ever bought any music by Nina Simone but need to look into it. I think about it every time I hear "Feeling Good" in the car and always forget about it by the time I'm home.
