Well, Cornell West attacked Obama too. Still, he's respected a lot. Not defending Trump, but he hasn't put loads of Blacks in prison and not rehabilitate them. Hate to say this, but I'm thinking less of two evil term. Clinton is more hawkish than Trump. I'm trying to vote wisely. Like I said, if Clinton was honest and took accountability for her actions, then she would get my support in November. Only thing she cares about is power and a vote.
Cornell West has lost some of his standing among black folks too but unlike Carson he didn't join the Republicans in attacking Obama.
Clinton hasn't put loads of blacks in prison either so I am a bit confused by what you are even talking about right there. If you are talking about the 94 Crime Bill then that is something you will need to take up with Bill Clinton,Joe Biden, the majority of the Congressional Black Caucus and maybe even Bernie Sanders since he actually voted for it.
The one thing Trump has done is lead a public campaign to get 5 young black men put on death row based on sketchy evidence and before a trial was even started and has consistently refused to admit he was wrong when those 5 young black men were exonerated. People really need to start looking at Trump's past a bit more closely.
Trump has said he wants to blow up family members of suspected terrorists, made not so veiled threats to America friends and enemies alike in that retarded foreign policy speech he gave last week and he is all for everyone on the planet having nukes. Just because he claims he was against the Iraq War doesn't make him not be a hawk.
And based on your posts it looks more like you are less concerned with voting wisely and just digging in your heels on a "Never Hillary" stance. So you are willing to see silver linings in anyone that is not her even a total assclown like Donald Trump.
