Bernie: I’ll Do Better With Black Voters Who Don’t Live In The Deep South www.buzzfeed.com/evanmcsan/bernie-sanders-ill-do-better-with-black-voters-who-dont-live?utm_term=.vlw4jReQP …



On This Week, Sanders telegraphed more Super Tuesday defeats among black voters in the day’s southern primaries, but suggested black voters outside the region would be more likely to support him.



“I think you’re going to see us doing — and I think the polls indicated it, much better within the African-American community outside of the Deep South,” Sanders said. “You’re going to see us much better in New York state where I think we have a shot to win, in California and in Michigan.







...I'm not sure I want to speculate on why Bernie thinks southern blacks didn't respond well to his candidacy. I will leave this here though...



Jamil Smith @jamilsmith

Sanders told a mostly white crowd (in Minn.) that they're "too smart" not to vote for him on the same night he lost a heavily black state by 48 points.

[Number23]

1. He's lost the minority vote in every single caucus/primary he's been in so far

From sea to shining sea - Iowa, NH, Nevada and now SC.

But yeah, it's Southern blacks that are the problem.

[rbrnmw]

2. the comments at best were rude at worst.............

you know what I am sayin?

[Chitown Kev]

6. Chile, I have had to take a break

from downloading so MUCH black celebrity side-eye in the past 48 hours....you just don't know

[rbrnmw]

8. me too here's my favorite

[Chitown Kev]

13. stolen...

But we ALL know who the sideeye queen is

[rbrnmw]

14. love it but I have it too

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

21. I have a couple of those already

I'm stealing the two that I don't have, lol and I am sure that you already have this...

[Number23]

22. That BS thread in GDP has been the shining turd on an EXTREME amount of bullshit that

GDP has been spouting the last few weeks. I'm pretty sure you know which one I'm talking about.

First we had to endure the endless "black people LUUUUURRRV Bernie" from people that aren't black. Now this crap. DAMN Super Tuesday can't get here fast enough. And then why do I get the feeling this shit still won't be over then????!!

[Chitown Kev]

23. It won't be over then

I'm considering putting up an OP simply asking for various sideeye so folks can grab what they don't have and use them as needed...'cause folks really don't want me opening my mouth and saying anything (shit, I have 3 hides already...)

[Cha]

24. Exactly 23! NOt too bright to blame your loss on the voters.

Maybe he wasn't doing something right?

And, have you seen this?

Senator Sanders: We ARE Smart

[Chitown Kev]

3. That's...

interesting...

(It's probably also as right as Hillary was when she was talking about hard working white folks in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Kentucky...and it's just as tone deaf and racist)

[rbrnmw]

4. That was wrong too

[Chitown Kev]

5. I mean, on the demographics of it Hillary probably had a point

but you don't SAY those things out loud. (Hillary probably trying to cash in on Obama's "bitter" comments in SF)

Same thing here.

[rbrnmw]

7. that's right

[Chitown Kev]

9. I've been telling people that in many ways

Bernie and Hillary actually have a lot in common.

Given their stark differences in policy, their similarities are striking and really fascinating to me...and this kind of motor-mouth stuff about insider politics and demographics is one of those things...

Of course, in "quiet rooms" (to use Mitt Romney's term) things like this are always discussed...and there's a reason that these type of conversations (by and large) stay in quiet rooms...

[rbrnmw]

10. sure are

I guess they don't think how transparent it looks

[rbrnmw]

11. I guess he doesn't know most blacks elsewhere in the country....

Have family in the south. Cornel should have told him

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

18. I don't think there's much policy difference between them except for on one or two MAJOR issues.

[Kind of Blue]

12. They're "too smart"

At this point, I can't stop thinking he's being deliberate with his words and just don't care.

[FrenchieCat]

15. I'm pissed and sad at the same time....

Not a good feeling!

[rbrnmw]

16. It is fucking depressing

but who the fuck do these folks think they are? They act like the are above everybody else.

[Cha]

25. This is one of the main reasons he's not getting the Black Vote.. that not too many are mentioning.

Thank you for your OP, rbr

[Blue_Tires]

26. Bernie needs to fire his top campaign staffers and strategists

because they have conducted his race with a level of incompetence that stretches belief...

[steve2470]

27. yep agreed, probably too late to salvage the campaign now nt
