Sean Johnson Because the white corporate media does a great job brainwashing people with imagery. Example….when I say “drug dealer” what image comes to mind? A black guy with a big gold chain. You see that image and that narrative all the time. In reality, white people use and sell 10x the amount of drugs blacks do, we are only 12% of the population; out of 100 people there are 6 black guys yet we sell all the drugs. White people will pretend that all the meth in Montana is being sold by black people. So it’s easy to see how black people can be brainwashed by images of Bill Clinton on arsenio, and the narrative that “he’s the first black president” even though that came about after him getting head in the Oval Office. Moral failing immediately attached to blackness, and what’s saddest is that stupid black people EMBRACED THAT INSULT and wore it with pride. “Bill Clinton is a real n—- for getting his dick sucked in the Oval Office” said many a stupid black person with pride.
But the real reason is…your shitty country has an educational system deigned to eliminate critical thinking and promote a political worldview based on white supremacy; whose continued existence depends on an inaccurate depiction of history, whitewashing truth, and labeling anyone who questions the nonsense as dissident or a threat and eliminating them if enough people listen. Because as soon as a leader emerges to wake black people up he seems to catch a bullet.

Sean Johnson Go ahead!
It’s really quite simple. Bernie says a rising tide for the poor and working classes will lift all boats. Blacks don’t see it like that. Every “revolution” they’ve experienced so far has left them behind. Hillary has worked to lift them up particularly and has promised more of the same. They like that. They are “those people” who take your tax money to support their drug habits, right? That’s the message of the White media.

You must be looking at different data.

It says in part:
Bill Clinton presided over the largest increase in federal and state prison inmates of any president in American history.
African Americans constituted 80 to 90 percent of all drug offenders sent to prison, even though they were no more likely than whites to use or sell illegal drugs. Prison admissions for drug offenses reached a level in 2000 for African Americans more than 26 times the level in 1983. All of the presidents since 1980 have contributed to mass incarceration, but as Equal Justice Initiative founder Bryan Stevenson recently observed, “President Clinton’s tenure was the worst.”
And on and on. There are many similar pages.
Hillary: A Goldwater Girl, who says that Black are Super Predators and must be brought to heel. She flip lops so often that I wonder if she has any concept of truth. She seems to feel that truth is what you want to hear.
Bernie: Fighting alongside Dr. King, and consistently fighting for ALL minorities ever since.
Where did Hillary help blacks other than buying some Fat Cats that were dark complected?
Here’s another explanation:

Thing is, Hillary has met with perhaps 100s of Black pastors, asking them for their views about what needs to be done. Bernie and his supporters have been more concentrated on telling Black people what they should want. They are not less intelligent nor worse informed than White people in general nor Bernie supporters in particular. A little respect is in order. Hillary gives them that respect.
