Why Hillary Clinton Doesn’t Deserve the Black Vote

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. Doing something concrete to improve the conditions under which most black people live is generally not required.

“Bernie is meeting with him.

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

Bernie is a JINO, a Capo. He gives decent Jews a bad name! Probably doesn’t know the difference between The Old Testament and the Coran.

well, I didn’t say he was a bad Jewish person.

He could be a very good Jewish person. Just naive.

I know a lot of very good and very naive Christian and Jewish people.

I find myself hoping so much for something to be true that i have to come here and read all the evidence against said thing to remind me.

Like there’s hope for minority men, like some sign obama doesn’t completely hate the country, etc.

FR is like a bucket of cold water to wake you up from a drunk :)

While you could be right, the fact that he’s been “a socialist” ( actually a full-blown Communist as I see it) all his life, I find it difficult to chalk it up to just being naive. He’s spent time in the Soviet Union and I think he probably doesn’t espouse anything remotely approaching Judiaism.
Like you, I hope for meaningful change to happen that helps us all, not just the few who have the means to try and buy influence. And I keep hoping that somehow we can supplant the “free lunch” with “unbridled opportunity for all.” Unfortunately, our education system has been working at crossed purposes for those changes to occur for so long that it may be impossible, short of another Great Depression or a revolution to fix it.

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

Who did you mean by "them"? Just checking.

Hitlery is "down for the struggle". But there are only Whites standing behind her during her concession speech. I guess that the Black supporters were occupied working on the Clinton plantation that day. LOL.
