I know.. Willful cherry picking to try and make their unsubstantiated point..

"He starts off by selectively handpicking several polls trying to prove that Clinton is “unelectable” because in a few of these polls her “trustworthiness” has been questioned and her favorability numbers weren’t great.."

snip//

Just for the record, anyone who actually knows how to read polls or write about polling results wouldn’t cite numbers from 4-5 months ago when there have been several updated polls done since then showing updated results. Goodman obviously wanted to use the older polling results which were much more favorable toward Sanders to suit his narrative.

So clever.. Poor things.. they're going to have even more issues down the road with their way or their way proclamations.

Thank you for this from Forward Progressives, William.

Don't put words in my mouth. I think African Americans are as dedicated and passionate..

about voting as John Lewis.



They know what they're doing and I appreciate their standing in long lines for hours to help Obama get elected twice as POTUS.

"It's OK to post racist and/or sexist stuff, because reasons. It's NOT OK to call out racist and/or

sexist stuff, because that is offensive.

It's OK for a white person to tell a black person "this is not racist" about something racist.
It's NOT OK for a black person to tell a white person "this is racist" about something racist."


Exactamente. But, there will be blowback.. they think there won't be blowback.. but, there will.

Guaranteed.

Gracias Dr Hobblestein.

Right, pnwmom.. those who tout "Name Recogition" are being insulting to the African American

Community.. that doesn't take any of this for granted.



"As our former Secretary of State, Senator from New York, and first Lady of the United States, Hillary Clinton is the most qualified person to be President of the United States," said Congressman Lewis in a statement released Wednesday by the campaign.

"I know her heart. We need her leadership, not just here in America, but all over the world. She is tireless in her advocacy for those who have been left out and left behind. She is ready to be President on day one. Hillary Clinton has my wholehearted endorsement, and I plan to work and campaign for her to see that she is elected the next President of the United States."

Thank you.

Yep. Condescending and Insulting. Way to get Black Voters for BS.

"Maybe more black voters should do some research on the candidates before they vote."

@PragObots @ThisWeekABC All one has to do is listen to tape recordings of Thom Hartman's show "Fridays with Bernie" segments. He dogs POTUS.

Yes. He said he wouldn't before bc it would make him a "hypocrite". BS's own words.

"It would be hypocritical of me to run as a Democrat because of the things I have said about the party."

Or they don't want to be reminded of what too many of sanders' supporters were doing online to

to harass Black Folks.

Me? I think Sunlight is the best disinfectant.. Shine on, brave.

November 10, 2015

Nope, you're citing an internet troll.

"The post originally appeared in /r/sandersforpresident, but was removed by admins who say the user offered no proof of employment as a paid internet troll."

I loved that part, too, Jamaal. Actually showing President Obama's record on what he has

gotten accomplished for African Americans.

There's My Brother's Keeper, too..

The ‘Rise’ of Obama’s My Brother’s Keeper initiative

"For President Obama, My Brother’s Keeper (MBK) is personal. He cares about a lot of issues. But when it comes to addressing the plight of young men and boys of color in this country, when he articulates the harrowing statistics that show their stunted growth and blunted promise, Obama displays the pain of someone with intimate knowledge of the problem. Still, there is a hopefulness and determination behind what he is doing because the president knows he is uniquely positioned to command the attention needed to bolster solutions in a very just cause.

Obama’s championing of MBK, a public-private endeavor he established in 2014, got the attention of documentary filmmaker Dawn Porter. “Rise: The Promise of My Brother’s Keeper,” which will air at 7 p.m. on the Discovery Channel and simulcast OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network on Father’s Day, looks at the lives of young men and boys of color in four MBK-principled programs around the country. It will premiere at the Newseum as part of the documentary film festival of the American Film Institute on June 18. But what will give the one-hour documentary added power is the participation of the president himself. Obama granted Porter an interview during his visit to Camden, N.J., on Monday."
