You don't hear this about any other group of people. No one else is considered to be "uneducated" for voting for whomever the hell they want to vote for.

And then Hillary still wins Detroit 70% to 30% and that's considered to be proof that everything has changed and Bernie is on top with black voters now.

There was a thread about northern black people being smarter than southern black people too, with the supposed evidence for that being that Bernie did better in Detroit. Horrible stuff being posted around here.

Bernie did better in Michigan (with everyone by the way) because he's been campaigning like crazy on the ground in Michigan the past couple of weeks, and Hillary hasn't. He built up a ton of enthusiasm. That's all. Nothing to do with voters of any color here being "smarter" or "better educated."

Yesterday, I heard a network "news" analysis of Tuesday's results report that Hillary's support among black voters is eroding because in Mississippi, she got nearly 90 percent of the black vote but in Michigan, she "only" got 69 percent.

First of all, how do two different results in two separate primaries on the same day prove support is "eroding."

and, second - how is 69 percent support characterized as "only?"

so many Sanders supporters are. They are the first ones to disavow the BernieBros as "Clinton propaganda."

A black woman at Washington Post is now the LATEST (because God knows there are probably hundreds by now) person to write about these folks and how paternalistic/racist/just plain stupid so many of them sound.

Bernie did better in Michigan (with everyone by the way) because he's been campaigning like crazy on the ground in Michigan the past couple of weeks, and Hillary hasn't.

I know that Bernie is your guy, but it is plain as day it wasn't his ground game or anything like that that gave him his Michigan win. It was independents and Republicans.

I mean, do people hear (or see) themselves?

I've given up. Let fools be fools.
