Trying to call me racist for not knowing better in 2011 and changing my mind when I learned, then becoming the most outspoken critic of Rawn Pawl?A lot of older black voters supported her because of Bill. After all, he was the "first black president". She did particularity well in the south with black votes, so I would say that some of that boiled down to religion. They might have had an issue with Bernie being a Jew. The dnc was trying to push the narrative that Bernie was an atheist, so some may have heard/believed that. I also believe that Bernies support for gays, and gay marriage hurt him in the black community. While Clinton was busy signing the defense of marriage act, and don't ask don't tell, Bernie was voting against those initiatives and standing up for gays before it was popular. The black community (I'm guessing largely due to religious beliefs) is very opposed to gay marriage and gay equality. Yes, they are capable of being prejudiced too.
Look at this rant about what you believe from yesterday:
@ttystikk are you going to say something to your buddy for his racism?A lot of older black voters supported her because of Bill. After all, he was the "first black president".
