Detroit is 80% black and only 10% white, the smallest percentage of any big city in the U.S. But photos and video of the crowd at Bernie Sanders' rally today in Detroit show an audience that appears to be largely white. Hard to find any African-Americans in attendance at rally.
Detroit isn't a transit-centric city. There's little mass transit here to think of, and the auto is king.

The student body of the high school where it took place is 99% non-white. Non-white folk didn’t need to take transit to see Bernie. They just weren’t moved to do so. (Or, his campaign didn’t canvas them.) They WILL vote, however. Do you see how this is a problem for Bernie?

They won’t. They never will. There are only reasons, not excuses, for the Bernie Cult

And, the same thing happened last weekend when Bernie held his overwhelmingly white rally in front of the majority minority Queensbridge housing projects. Is that what “progressivism” looks like? https://www.google.com/amp/s/patch.com/new-york/astoria-long-island-city/amp/28362681/queensbridge-residents-say-they-didnt-know-sanders-rally …

Yes, yes it is.

That was my point. It doesn't take 2 hours to go 9 miles like it does in places with transit.
