(5 posts)His only answer to a whole host of civil rights and racial inequality issues is just tackling income inequality and the safety net. Of course anybody who thinks deeply about these issues should know that problems would remain, even if everybody had a job. He has to study up and make his case but this is one of his bigger weaknesses. I can tell he doesn't know much about Blacks, and the inner city and may appear hesitant in that area.
Hillary has been smart (imo) recently and has realized she cannot whitewash her campaign and win. Her challenge is to not appear to be cynical and calculating. There's leverage here for Black voters in that the Democratic nominee needs a large turnout if Dems going to win, and a whitewashed campaign isn't going to energize those voters.
