A reminder of why minimizing Clinton's Southern victories is so hurtful.

48. I have spoken out on this topic

So I feel compelled to speak here.
Let me be unequivocally clear from the beginning, as a person raised in several southern states this issues is important to me, the right and ease of access for people of color to vote is critical to the success of our democracy. I am inspired by the turn out in the South and other states by people of color in these primaries and caucuses and that they are voting as Democrats. I hope it is a trend that continues to increase as it is critical if we are to take control oh the House at some point.

That all being said, I wrote an OP on Super Tuesday making a clear point that the majority of states still had not voted, including the west coast where I live now, as well as NY, IL and OH just to name a few.
In as much it is great the southern states had such great success and their vote is important to the nomination process, it does not and should not be the deciding factor in who our presidential candidate is going to be. There are 35 more states to vote. Far to many, as recently as last night, have called it over and as someone that has not voted yet, that is offensive and yes is an attempt to disenfranchise those that have not voted yet.
