But Akua Harris, 71, a retired city employee, was not moved by Mrs. Clinton’s remarks and doubted she would feel any differently about Mr. Sanders’s speech on Thursday. “Talk is cheap,” she said. “These politicians come in and tell you what you want to hear. They all promise things to black people and don’t deliver.”

Asked whether Mr. Obama was a typical politician, Ms. Harris said he was not. “That’s different,” she said. “He wanted to get things done, and the Congress blocked him.”

I'd be interested to see if she spoke specifically to black issues and black solutions; usually they just mention a bunch of our problems then offer 'minority' set-asides as the solution. We have to stop letting them get away with using 'minority' as an escape hatch because as we know, gay whites, white women, Latinos, Asians, and every other grouping eat before us when they mention solutions for 'minorities.'

She doesn't care about yall just your vote, so the answer to your question is no.

Really? I thought it'd be the other way around with every but NYC being white and different :jbhmm:
Outside of the campus areas Shillary had upsate NY on lockdown...

Middle class white people love Shillary...I got several fools in the office that tell me "I can trust her" and that Bernie won't be able to get anything done...I tell you breh I got the urge to fire this one intern but I already got a reputation with HR for firing a dikkhead who told me Commando was wack (in my defense he had it coming that comment just sealed his fate) so I won't be able to get away with firing somebody over politics...:francis:

I keep waiting for her to slip up though, watching her like a hawk everyday...:ufdup:

Let's see what Shillary does for her when she's unemployed...:sas2:

Well obviously she doesn't care and neither do any of these candidates, but if she actually wanted to get the scores of young black folks exasperated by politics to vote for her she'd name us specifically and not 'minorities.'

I think only one or two cares about our vote, but I know where this will go, so I'll leave it here.
