Indeed, as in previous states, Sanders won white voters focused on honesty, as well as those most concerned with a candidate who “cares about people like me,” by vast margins – 95-5 and 75-25 percent, respectively. Blacks overwhelmingly saw Clinton as the trustworthy candidate, Sanders not.

A Black Lives Matter protester was escorted out of a $500 per person Hillary Clinton fundraiser on Wednesday after she interrupted the Democratic presidential candidate's speech, which was being held at the home of a Charleston, South Carolina attorney. Video from the incident shows Clinton supporters hissing at the activist, Ashley Williams, while others call her protest "inappropriate."

Donald Trump's quest for the 2016 Republican nomination for president is no longer just a campaign. It is now a "Trumpnado." Like the inexplicably popular sci-fi film series that features all manner of sharks hurtling out of the sky down on a hapless and terrified population, establishment GOP candidates, consultants, donors and party regulars seem powerless to stem the tide of the Trump onslaught.

Retired neurosurgeon and presidential candidate Ben Carson says President Barack Obama does not know what it's like to be a black American. Carson added that Obama was "raised white," and "he didn't grow up like I grew up...not even close." In a podcast with Politico's Glenn Thrush, Carson responded to a question about his feelings watching Obama sworn in as the first African-American president: Like most Americans, I was proud that we broke the color barrier, when he was elected. But I also recognized that his experience and my experience are night and day. He didn't grow up like I...

During the 2016 presidential campaign, Hillary Clinton has been relying heavily on African American voters to fend off the stiff challenge that she is getting from Bernie Sanders. So far the strategy has been working. Clinton won the Nevada Caucus thanks, in part, to support from that state’s African Americans. She is favored to win in South Carolina and across the South for the same reason. Bernie Sanders, her chief rival, has been trying to court the black vote, but thus far not enough to overcome Clinton. A new ad from the Republican National Committee may give Sanders some ammunition,...

In honor of “Black History Month,” ESPN aired a segment called “Rise Up” on ESPN2 Thursday. The segment on the sports network was a song and voice over, both by singer Andra Day and was written by ESPN’s Scoop Jackson.

The Miami Fraternal Order of Police released a press release Thursday stating that they are planning to boycott Beyonce's concert in April and are urging others to do the same. This comes after a controversial Super Bowl performance when Queen B alluded to the Black Panther movement. "The fact that Beyonce used this year's Super Bowl to divide Americans by promoting the Black Panthers and her antipolice message shows how she does not support law enforcement," Javier Oritz President of The Miami FOP said in the press release. "We ask all law enforcement labor organizations to join our boycott across...

For all the talk about immigrants refusing to embrace American ways — a defining controversy of this GOP presidential race — the evidence has been scant. The National Academies of Sciences deflated most of the myths in a definitive report last year. Today’s immigrants are more educated and better English speakers than their predecessors, and they are far less likely to commit a crime compared to the native-born. They are quickly becoming part of American communities.

There was a time when it was understood that sports was off limits for politics. Not any more. ESPN frequently includes guests and hosts who promote filthy racist memes or far left talking points. On Monday far left Boston Globe(?) reporter Bob Ryan was asked to discuss the story regarding Peyton Manning’s alleged sexual “assault” (he reportedly flashed a woman) twenty years ago.

A little more than an hour before the Grammys were to start Monday night, Kanye West wrote another series of controversial tweets, this time asking "white publications" to not write about "black music." West singled out The New York Times, Rolling Stone and Pitchfork as "white publications" that should not be writing about black music.

Taylor Swift hit out at Kanye West as she accepted her gong for Album Of The Year at the Grammy Awards on Monday night. The 26-year-old singer noted that she is the only woman in history to have won Album Of The Year twice in a thinly veiled attack against the rapper, 38, after Kanye claimed last week that he made the pop star famous. 'As the first woman to win Album of the Year at the Grammys twice, I want to say to all the young women out there, there are going to be people along the way who...

Hello everyone, Let me be the first to say i don't agree with some of the ideas of the GOP candidates, but i want to try to understand your standing on some issues. I hope we can keep it civil. Here are some points i want your input: 1.) When i hear the phrase "fewer regulation" from the GOP presidential candidates that are taking money from the Koch brothers there is the image of toxic waste being poured into the river and finding its way to the tap in your house. What do you understand by fewer regulations and why...

This morning fake black guy Shaun King -- he's white but has been pretending to be black for nearly forty years -- decided to write about Peyton Manning mooning and teabagging a trainer twenty years ago. His motive to do so was, predictably, racist. He believed Cam Newton had been treated unfairly in the wake of the Super Bowl so he decided to take a page from the political handbook of PC bros everywhere and write an old story about Peyton Manning in an effort to try to turn it into a new story.

Bill Clinton still wants to be known as America's "first black president." The former president downplayed President Obama's historic presidency, telling a Memphis crowd Friday everyone has some African ancestry. "Unless your ancestors, every one of you, are 100 percent, 100 percent from sub-Saharan Africa, we are all mixed-race people," he said, according to reports.

As Hillary Clinton's campaign looks to the black vote in South Carolina to fend off Sen. Bernie Sanders' momentum, a look at her staff list reveals an exclusively white leadership team mostly comprised of white males. In fact, her top six campaign officials are all white guys.

Let’s pause for a moment and ponder the sheer, breathtaking magnitude of Hillary Clinton’s collapse. In Iowa, she once held a 56-point lead over Bernie Sanders in the polls. She finished in a dead heat, with the Iowa Democratic party, led by a woman whose car reportedly sports an “HRC2016” license plate, brazenly stonewalling an inquiry into numerous voting irregularities. In New Hampshire, her lead over Sanders also peaked at 56 points, and she lost by 22 — a stunning 78-point turnaround. It would be a partial consolation (very partial) if she lost to a young, charismatic firebrand, but she’s...

As Obama's consumer watchdog agency kneecaps yet another car lender for payola for Democrat constituents, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders pledge to double down on the monstrous abuses carried about by the agency. The five-year-old Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, now the single most powerful and least accountable federal agency in Washington, just put a $22 million hit on Toyota Motor Credit over more trumped-up racism charges. All told, the out-of-control agency has extracted more than $220 million from the auto finance industry, including major players Ally Bank, Honda and Fifth Third Bank. Several other lenders are under anti-bias investigation. The...

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Controversy continues to swirl around Beyonce’s Super Bowl halftime show performance. The pop superstar is being accused of using her performance to attack police officers. “I think it was outrageous that she used it as a platform to attack police officers, who are the people who protect her and protect us,” former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani told CBS2’s Dick Brennan. Beyonce and her dancers were wearing leather and black berets, which was apparently a nod to the Black Panthers movement. One dance formation seemed to acknowledge Malcolm X, and other dancers had fists in...

Williams, The Daily Show's Senior Beyoncé Correspondent, pushed back at the notion of the singer bringing politics into her music and the complaint that race somehow infected the Super Bowl. Political activism is part of who she is, Williams said, and she's been doing it for years. And as she tackled Giuliani's suggestion that Beyoncé wasn't fit for "middle America," she honed in on a bigger issue.

FULL TITLE: Kicked in the Bowls: Beyonce sparks race row after controversial Black Power Super Bowl half-time show BEYONCE hijacked the Super Bowl — and strutted straight into a Black Power race row. The pop star, 34, who had been accused of shunning her black heritage, stunned viewers by performing her new single Formation. It includes attacks on police brutality and cops’ response to 2005’s Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. [snip] Members of the National Sheriffs’ Association also turned their backs as they watched on Sunday at their Washington base. A cop’s wife posted: “Rise above and stay above the...
