By Sassine

I’m an African American. Female. Highly educated. Experienced. I’m voting for Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the next president in the Missouri Democratic primary. I choose Hillary over Bernie. I will encourage every Black, white, Asian, Hispanic, Muslim, Christian, agnostic, disabled . . . well everyone I know . . . to vote for Hillary Clinton.

I initially donated to both because I wanted a vigorous campaign. Now, I donate solely to Hillary after doing my own research on Bernie Sanders and reading the work about him here and elsewhere. For every step she gets closer to the nomination, I donate more.

I believe Hillary is more qualified. I believe she’s more ready to fight the fight that needs to be fought for the soul of the United States. I could type all the reasons why but it appears that here on DailyKos people don’t really care about why. Too many Sanders’ supporters (or what appears to be Sanders’ supporters) want to deride and disrespect Black voters. We see how that worked in South Carolina. Then, in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia. The New York Times has devastating demographics numbers in Virginia for Bernie Sanders regarding the Black issue. http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/03/01/us/elections/virginia-democrat-poll.html?_r=0

In that poll, 82% of Black men and 85% of Black women are for Hillary. Seventy-seven percent (77%) of non-white College graduates are for Hillary. Overall, 58% of all men were for Hillary and 70% of all women . . . for Hillary.

It is my hope that Bernie starts recognizing what he is doing wrong in communities of color and begins definitive outreach. I have no idea what he has done with the BLM woman he hired in the Fall or his head diversity guy.

Let me end by saying. I’m a Black female with three (3) degrees, all with honors. I’m a Democrat. I research extensively about candidates and have done so for the Democratic presidential selection. I choose Hillary.

1. but what about the "ignorant voting against their own best interests"?

She does shoot that to hell, as if it was necessary.

Good read, MrWendel. I appreciate all the work you are doing to find and share these voices with all of us. K&R
