51. so are they racist?

Mar 2016

if they happened to be Jewish? a large section of the left side Jewish system is pointing out Clintons direct ties to the KKK now whether it's factual or not have no idea. I didn't live in AR in the 80's.

and as far as I know Bernie supporters aren't doing this. I didn't know about the KKK ties until several Jewish relatives pointed it out. If Hillary loses the Jewish voting bloc thats a problem. You can't win them all but you should be trying... I can't say anything about black votes in the south. Many voted for Bernie The South in general is going for Hillary. I'm not gonna tie that to any one race.

as for the items I mentioned here It should go without saying I'm saying this to put it out there. So people know how to respond to it, if the Right decides to use it.
