Look at it this way: Bill Clinton was popular among African-Americans, but he supported a number of policies that clearly had a negative impact on that group (e.g., welfare reform). I expect the same from Hillary. If it's politically expedient, she'll piss all over African Americans, and (if she's as good a politican as her husband) somehow maintain the adoration of the group she's pissing on. In short: voting for Hillary is doing no favors for African Americans.
