In reply to the discussion: Latest poll of African Americans: Hillary 82%, Sanders 6%, Webb 3% [View all]Senator Tankerbell

the skepticism of an older white guy from Vermont but I don't understand the inclination to assume that Hillary is any more sympathetic to the needs of African Americans than other democratic candidates. I mean, is there anything we can point to in her career that would lead someone to that conclusion? Did she pass legislation in the Senate or take action as Secretary of State?
