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.
