it is not sowing discord to ask that black folks be given our due. If progressives see it this way, corp Dems win.

I mean this on a literal electoral level. Black folks gave primary to Clinton. Y'all gotta figure out how 2 talk 2 us.

May I ask what ur explanation is 4 the strong support among African-American Democratic Primary voters for HRC? @tomwatson

basically: black folks don't have the luxury of assuming goodwill of white politicians. Hillary was well-known. Bill was loved.

Bill was first pol in a long time to speak directly to us. Younger more activist POC were up on "superpredators," crime bill, etc.

but our parents? They wanted that crime bill too! They were also scared of the drugs and the gangs and wanted anything to fix it.

so you have one pol you know and trust (Hillary) and a new guy who you don't know, who doesn't show up at your church or NAACP...

and the one you know is saying things like "fixing economic issues won't fix racial issues" (true and fits with your experience)
