As Hillary Clinton eyes an easy victory in the South Carolina primary, propelled by the black vote, two leading African-American intellectuals are pushing back.
Writing in the Nation yesterday, 'The New Jim Crow' author Michelle Alexander penned an essay titled, 'Why Hilary Clinton Doesn't Deserve the Black Vote,' outlining the Clintons' role in mass incarceration and high black unemployment.
The Atlantic's Ta-Nehisi Coates, who rose to national prominence after publishing the magazine's June 2014 cover story, 'The Case for Reparations,' told Democracy Now this week that he would be voting for Clinton's rival, Bernie Sanders.

All three of em?
Right up there with great black skiers and swimmers.
You obviously flunked your mandatory black studies courses—back to the reeducation camp for you. ;-)
I guess this speech convinced them............

Who’s more loathsome, Hillary or these so-called “black intellectuals” who call for slavery reparations and for letting violent black criminals out of prison?

He he, I am secretly laughing.

I believe God made us all equal and Jesus died for each of us.
What we do with those gifts is up to us.
Ta-Nehisi Coates is a “black intellectual”? Uh, yeah, she ranks right up there with Thomas Sowell . . . . .
Yup and as flawed as I am I was smart enough to hang around smart folks and that is who I associate with on my spare time.
Intellectuals. Good one.
Why does the word “intellectual” always cause me to define it as its own antonym in my head?
And that case is, what, exactly? "I want another Civil War" or "Maybe Whitey will actually pay us to go back to Africa" or "I'm just a lazy bum and want Whitey to pay for everything my heart desires."
Bernie is welcome to this kind of drooling, parasitic idiot - in fact, he seems to attract nothing but that type, in a variety of colors.
