Under Clinton and Obama, the lot of African-Americans continues to deteriorate whether it be wages, law enforcement, job opportunities, living standards, education opportunities, housing, racism etc. The same African-American leadership that brought us Clarence Thomas and other lackies for the Establishment are now rallying around the Queen of the Prom who is apparently not satisfied with the $153 million in bribes that she has already received from the Establishment.
So why do African-Americans still support a candidate who will clearly continue to work for Wall Street (the Clintons and Obama gave them $trillions), Big Pharma (Obamacare was a $trillion gift), and most of all herself? Baffles me.
Trump said he was going to cut food stamps. That does not sit well with a lot of people.
It is unfortunate, but has the Democratic and Republican parties turn a large portion of our population in into Serfs and wards of the State? Has dependency and fear of loss of these dependencies created a Great Serf Society that had replaced the Great Society? It concerns me.
Why are African-Americans voting for the Establishment?
Because the "establishment" feeds them, clothes them, puts a roof over their heads, gives them phones, and gives them special rights that others don't have.
They won't vote for Bernie because they don't have any idea who he is.
They won't vote for Trump because they won't vote republican. Many republican radio hosts and their followers have stated for years that black people are only interested in abusing entitlements and that they are a bunch of criminals. Trump himself has retweeted a false black crime statistics post that a white supremacist wrote. He has also retweeted other messages from white supremacists.
Some examples are the previous posts from Waldo Kitty and Straight Shooter.

Are you really concerned? You don't sound like you are.
It sounds more like you are joining the black stereotyping and bashing.
Just because the message is from a source that isn't well liked doesn't mean it isn't partially or mostly or even totally true!
The same applies to the message itself. Just because one does not like what it says doesn't mean it isn't factual.

No I am concerned. It does seem like African-Americans want more of the same. There question is why? Bernie Sanders is offering something different. Here certainly had gone after three Establishment which has made everyones lot much worse. But African-Americans have sent a very loud message that they want more of the same. Why?

What don't you post something more specific?
If you are referring to black people then you are wrong because most black people especially those who vote are not criminals or entitlement recepients.
