No, they laud him because he was a great President and did a lot for black people. All you ever hear about is the Crime Bill (which many black people supported at the time) which has really been made out to me much more damaging than it really was. Let's not forget that under him, black poverty was at it's lowest level ever. Black unemployment was at it's lowest in 40 years. No offense, but this is what I mean when I say you fall for propaganda. Your only point is the one that's been exaggerated and all over social media.

I mean, I don't know about Sanders, but I know Hillary has def released plans for both HBCUs and black business owners!

She loves my blackness. And yours.

@michael

Black voters are telling us who has done more for them with their BALLOTS!

When #HRC took the time out to meet with black, female, small business owners.

"She understood business. Secondly, she understood being a minority owned business and in this case, I'm talking about African-American owned. Third, she understood being a woman owned business."

Yeah, it's no secret why she connects with black people and he doesn't.

I wasn't even thinking about the crime bill sweety. I was referring to NAFTA which pretty much crippled cities Detriot and Baltimore

Wait, black people own small businesses?

I thought they were all poor and lived in the ghetto.

Another lie that Bernie Sanders has told me

"The women say they hope their words stick with Clinton as she continues her campaign".
"I think that whether I'm heard or not remains to be seen in what happens".

The more salient quotes that stood out to me from that video. There are words and then there are actions. When it comes down to the crunch, can Hillary actually be trusted on her word?
She "understood" the devastating impact of a certain bankruptcy bill, particularly and ironically detrimental for small businesses. Yet as soon as she got in power she voted in favour of it.
As I said. There are words and then there are actions.

Here you go with another social media thing

Don't you have any instances that didn't go viral? That are beyond surface level? This is exactly what I mean.

It wasn't a deflection. That bill has been discussed in this thread several times and Hillary requested several things be changed before she voted for it.

Anyway - finding that instance problematic is fine and up to you. But it is telling when all of your reasons for disliking her are social media trends and viral videos. It leads one to believe that you don't have real reasons, and you're just following along with groupthink.

Bey Admired

Black people know how each candidate has affected them more than you know how they have affected them. You're trying to tell these human beings about THEIR own life. Do you know how ignorant that is?

If a black person says that the Clintons have helped their family, who are you to say they are uneducated on the issues? They know more than anyone how the Clinton policies have impacted their lives. The fact that black people have come out in their droves to support Hillary should start to sound alarm bells for many people who doubt the African American support for her. They know more about their life than you know about their life.

Aren't you getting it yet?

what was changed? Do you have a link? Also still waiting on her plan for black businesses?

And nah it's a weak argument. We are in the internet age. I doubt you have purchased a newspaper once since this year has begun. Whether the information is viral or not, has no bearing on its credibility. Espeically if it's a quote out her own damn mouth.

Sure, but you have reasons for disliking her OTHER than viral videos and memes? Have you actually gone indepth and researched her?

Radiance

This white elitism is disgusting. Why is it so difficult to understand that African Americans prefer a specific candidate? Why feel the need to degrade someone's else choices just because they don't align with yours?

heckinglovato

I don't see how people can DISLIKE Hillary. She can piss me off sometimes but I truly see her as the western equivalent of my country's queen, she's an advocate and she knows what she's doing. She's just not as progressive as I'd like my politician to be.

Well sheet. Are you saying there are more reasons to dislike Hillary Clinton outside of her **** ton of "viral" exposes? Because as it stands there is a 10 minute compilation of her on the web lying through her teeth.
