(2,197 posts)but that is for the black community to decide based on whatever criteria that members of our community decides (which includes a number of factors...and of course, many people (not just African Americans) are members of multiple communities.
My point is that white progressives have no moral grounds to dictate what candidates we should vote for and our criteria for voting for them...and quite a few white progressives are doing that through browbeating and what not (and of course, some black progressives don't like Sanders or Clinton).
People need to go back and read their history; I posted a lot of stuff on bravenak's thread about FDR, The New Deal, and how The New Deal, in some was, wasn't that good for blacks. About 75% of blacks still voted for FDR from 1936-44 (personally, I think that was more of a vote for Eleanor than for Franklin).
