Carol Mosely Braun dropped out after Iowa, where Wes Clark and Joe Lieberman joined her and Al Sharpton in getting 0% of the vote.

Al Sharpton never stood a chance because of the Tawana Brawley episode, and his continued exploits. Even in the Southern states, black voters stayed away from Sharpton - if for no other reason than because they knew he wasn't a serious contender.

Effie, I'll ask you a second time - please show proof of a trend where black voters are being criticized for voting heavily in favor of the first viable black candidate in US history in Democratic / liberal / progressive circles.

You can't because there is no such criticism.
