(7,759 posts)Most black people never even heard of Bernie Sanders until recently so "always had your back" doesn't ring a whole lot of bells. Clinton made a similar decision about Sistah Soulja that Obama made about Rev. Wright. While a lot of blacks didn't like these decisions most understood what needed to be done to get into office.
Clinton never was able to keep his promise on re-visiting his welfare actions thanks to the impeachment move. His support of or at least his failure to attack "three strikes" is the most unforgivable move to me.
That being said, Bill Clinton is not the candidate and I do believe Hillary is her own person and will be even more so if she ever gets to the WH.
When Bernie takes his swipes at Hillary and he will and he does, I won't hold it against him...he is running in a campaign. Just realize that Hillary is running too.
