But the black voter community contains a LOT of people who really aren't all that liberal. Those relatively conservative black voters aren't going to register and vote Republican, even if there's some policy agreement, because today's GOP has a well-earned reputation of not acting in black people's interests (and in many cases being outright racist). So they vote Democrat...and are going to pick the conservative option. Black progressives may well lean towards Bernie...but they aren't that big a group.

Personally, I think anyone not in the ruling 1%'er elite who doesn't opt for Bernie isn't acting in their own best interest, regardless of race. But that's not my call to make for anyone but myself...
