You're gratuitously (and I suspect maliciously) attempting to sow discord in progressive ranks.

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

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

Am I to assume that Hillary and Bill could be assumed to have goodwill towards black folks, given their actual record?

not about "could be." It's about "was." They WERE assumed to have goodwill. Only ppl with a bone to pick with Bill and Hillary...
