Mike Malloy - How Can Black People Vote For Hillary Clinton?



Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton was clearly caught off-guard during an event for campaign donors on Wednesday night when a Black Lives Matter protester demanded she answer for the justice policies of her husband's presidency.

"Do you want to hear the facts or do you just want to talk?" Clinton responded during the exchange, in a tone that has been criticized by some as dismissive.

At the event, held at a private home in Charleston, Black Lives Matter activist Ashley Williams quietly walked to the front of the crowd holding a sign that read: "We have to bring them to heel."

Cenk has done an interview with James Rucker, one of the founders of Color of Change, where Rucker explains the pressures on Black leaders to support Hillary.

Note comment #2: This is how corruption works.

It's difficult to understand why ANYONE would vote against their own best interests
(which middle/lower class Republicans do all the time). Is it that both Clintons are
a known quantity (have been cultivating African American supporters for years) vs.
Bernie who has been less active with this group
(having mainly focused on his northeastern, primarily white constituency
due to running for less national positions, despite his early activism in civil rights).
