Black Voters And Bernie

CS Monitor: Why many black voters aren't flocking to Bernie Sanders - Bernie Sanders has civil rights credentials, but many black thinkers are wary of his brand of liberal socialism, which they say ignores the role of racism in society.
“In the rush to make it all about class, you turn on your blinders to certain things that quite frankly aren’t about class.... He’s missing a very large piece of the puzzle, and what makes some black voters nervous, there seems to be a huge gap in his understanding about race.”

Talk about shooting yourself in the foot. Bernie's policies would greatly benefit blacks etc. if they don't get that then it's because there is a concerted effort to confuse the issue.

It's a loyalty thing with Hillary. Have you see the uptick in anti-Bernie articles lately? That has surprised me.
