(62,325 posts)angry about is the arrogance of Hillary supporters who from the beginning have CLAIMED to speak for ALL AAs. 'She has the Black Vote'. Many people pointed out to these Hillary supporters, from all backgrounds, that this in itself is Racist.
Just saying 'I'm Black' does NOT mean you speak for millions of other people.
I am glad to see that AAs are making THEIR feelings known, those who choose NOT to support Hillary who are growing in number every day.
She does not 'have the Black vote' nor she have the 'Latino vote' who also are making THEIR feelings known regarding this kind of campaigning. No group of people is monolithic none, and that effort to paint all AAs as 'Hillary supporters' was and is reprehensible and racist in itself and people are now letting her know that they will speak for themselves.
