Why Hillary Clinton Doesn’t Deserve the Black Vote
The Nation ^ | February 10, 2016 | Michelle Alexander

Posted on 02/10/2016 1:24:24 PM PST by Biggirl

Hillary Clinton loves black people. And black people love Hillary—or so it seems. Black politicians have lined up in droves to endorse her, eager to prove their loyalty to the Clintons in the hopes that their faithfulness will be remembered and rewarded. Black pastors are opening their church doors, and the Clintons are making themselves comfortably at home once again, engaging effortlessly in all the usual rituals associated with “courting the black vote,” a pursuit that typically begins and ends with Democratic politicians making black people feel liked and taken seriously.

Because she wants them to stay on the plantation and be wards of the government forever. Sadly, they do not see that, or maybe they do.

Hillary is going to be the first black woman President!

Not to be outdone in racial huckstering, the Bern met race merchant Al Sharpton today to secure his endorsement.

If you think you’ve seen pandering, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

black politicians lose their bread and butter if blacks realize they’re being played by dems for 50 years.

Once the African-American vote is separated from the Democratic Party, it will be the end of them.

Bill was falsely known as the "First Black President"
Hilldebeast is relying on the hubby's coat tails ?
Bernie , the Socialist (known to be worth $1.2 Million)

You can't make this stuff up , ..in your wildest dreams !

NO DEMOCRAT should get the black vote.

But will get it anyway.

There is no plantation more assuredly in control of its slaves than the Demoncrat Party.

Hillary would like to thank LBJ for the support blacks give her.

The first black president is looking like a victim of the Tuskegee Experiment these days...

The only thing Hitlary deserves is a quick trial and a slow execution.

Not as long as the "Black Code*" remains in effect.

*The internet refuses to give a definition of "Black Code" as anything other than laws enacted by southern states in the aftermath of the Civil War to deny rights to recently freed slaves. However, there is another meaning to the term "Black Code." The "Black Code" is the unwritten, yet almost universally followed rule which holds that whenever a black person is challenged by or in a dispute with a white person, all blacks must immediately take the side of and support the black person. The objective merits of the dispute and the wrongfulness of the conduct of the black person are irrelevant under the "Black Code." Example; the criminal trial of O.J. Simpson and the jury's verdict.

Until the "Black Code" is no longer followed by black people, the race problem in America will remain intractable.

Not even after supporting the Black Panthers in the Alex Rackley murder trial in New Haven, Connecticut in 1970?!

I read this article in disbelief. You would never know we just had 8 years of a black President. Conveniently left out.

“black politicians lose their bread and butter if blacks realize they’re being played by dems for 50 years.”

And by large measure, Black Ministers too! Most Black “MInisters” (can you say Rev Al and Rev Jesse) are simply in “The God Business.” I mean it’s a good gig when you “help” stupid people part with what little cash they have.

Bernie is meeting with him.

guess he doesn’t mind Al’s and Jesse’s notorious anti Semitism.
