Hillary supporters attacked Bernie for 'ignoring' the most pressing concern of the day - You know, the fact that police are getting off on murdering AA citizens?

Oh how do the times change, with Hillary supporters now claiming that "Sorry AA community, you're no longer our pressing concern".

Personally, I'm interested in a racial breakdown of people polled for that. Somehow I get the feeling that the bulk of those polled were whites. That said, given how many more people answered that they'd trust Trump to deal with terrorism issues, over Hillary, points to the majority of people polled being Conservatives - Who have made it quite apparent that they give less then a shit about anyone who isn't born white.

Still though, the poll doesn't actually say that people consider it the most pressing concern - That's your own slant on it. It's actually asking if they think we could be the victim of another terrorist attack - Given recent events, no suprise - and their own personal feelings as to ISIS and other potental terrorist threats. No where does it ask if they consider it the most important issue,
