(1,377 posts)She won a ton of black votes by having media and black community leaders lie about Sanders Civil Rights involvement. This turned off a large amount of African Americans here in SC. Except the younger ones. Reason is older African Americans have access to less information from the Internet than the whites. There was a PewReaserch done in 2014 that found that African Americans age 65 and older have especially low adoption rates compared with whites. Just 45% of black seniors are internet users, and 30% have broadband at home (among white seniors, 63% go online and 51% are broadband adopters). So less access to the media from internet really is hurting the African American community because we all know how Cable TV is. Unless you like watching TrumpTV 24/7
