My take on why many black voters aren't impressed with Bernie's work in the civil rights movement

[Waiting For Everyman]

66. So the Clinton Crime Bill creating mass incarceration and

their involvement in creating the private prison industry doesn't bother black people?

Ok, well that's very interesting. But I still don't understand how you end mass incarceration by voting for it.

Black people voting for the Clintons is not quite but almost comparable to if the Jews in large numbers had voted for Hitler.

Then on top of that there's the Clinton Welfare reform of the 1990s. Millions of black kids and kids of all races suffered at their hands because of that, yet the Clintons tout how much they have done for children. That's audacity!

Sometimes it's a good idea to be informed so that one doesn't end up hugging it out with the very people who are doing them in. That should be embarrassing, one would think, but apparently not. I can only guess that black leaders are not informing people as they should. It's not my business, (as a white woman) all I can do is shake my head. But I see posts like this here on DU and online and reports on tv, and I think WTF. This is probably the best example there has ever been, of cognitive dissonance.

Btw, Bernie didn't do a couple of protest actions in the 1960s and that was it. He kept fighting ever since then for the issues he believes in, civil rights being among them. Unlike the Clintons, he has been consistent through his entire career. I, personally, started watching him leading the fight for these things in the early 1990s on C-SPAN, and have watched him do it ever since.

The Clintons "work" for black people? That is a sick joke.
