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.

But how was Bernie Sanders a 'new guy'? This shows me that people do not really follow Congressional politics, at all.

well duh. Also we don't go up for "I marched with Dr. King that one time" the way white ppl do. That doesn't actually prove a lot.

Sanders has an actual record. He has been fighting for all working class and poor people FOREVER.

But has he been fighting for black folks? Latinx folks? Asian folks? Has he been undercover in segregated private schools?

that's the whole POINT. We don't just have class issues. We have race issues too. Until u prove u get both, you won't get POC votes
