Angry white man = critical, coveted demographic

[EffieBlack]

who must be chased after, catered to and kissed up to by candidates who cannot be seen as viable unless they can demonstrate how much like them they are.

Angry black man = scary, disdained pariahs who must be disowned, denounced and repudiated by candidates who cannot be seen as viable if it appears that they have ever spoken to, been seen near or share anything, regardless how innocuous, in common with them.

4. And for purposes of clarification...

men of mixed race will be considered "black" and potentially racist for ease of classification.

5. Thank you for the clarification

It is also understood that anyone classified as a black man will be presumed to be an "angry black man" unless and until he affirmatively proves that he is not.

To date, this feat has yet to be accomplished by any black man, since regardless how calm, mild-mannered, affable, unflappable or dignified he is in appearance, tone, demeanor and behavior, it will still be assumed that he is hiding his INNER "angry black man" - or, as noted "angry black man" expert George Stephanopulos describes it, "turning down the temperature on purpose" so he doesn't appear to be a "fire-breathing black man." Moreover, even if he manages, based upon a lifetime of non-threatening behavior, to begin to assuage suspicions that he is indeed a closeted "angry black man," this can be instantly and loudly refuted should it be discovered that he knows, associates with, or has ever come within the proximity of any other black man or woman who appears to be, knows or has ever agreed with any person certified by the media or a critical mass of white people to be a genuine "angry black man."

It's all pretty complicated.

6. That reads like a legal disclaimer.

Thank god we've got a chart to make it all simple:

12. Bingo!

Thus the characterization of the fact that the angry white males are supporting Clinton in larger percentages than Obama as a "failure" by Obama to "appeal to" this demographic, while the fact that black voters have deserted Clinton in droves as a sign that black voters are voting based upon race.
