They will first encounter black voters in South Carolina - or maybe Nevada caucuses, but that will be very low turnout/no good data.

And the idea Bernie is going to do better than Hillary among black voters is ludicrous.

nobody said he was.

Is she losing ground with black americans?

she's generally losing support across all demographics.

i misread your post. i thought it said "is doing". yeah, i think he could end up doing better than her with black voters. still a lot of time before South Carolina.

out of curiosity, why would black voters choose H over B? (given that they're the non-R choices).

A huge reason is Hillary being the wife of Bill, who was extremely popular among black americans. Bernie comes from a very white state, and isn't very recognizable to a lot of people

we'll see what happens over the next few months, but I feel like Bernie can make up some serious ground if he continues to focus on courting BLM and points out some of the things the Clintons have voted for that have hurt the black community. If Bernie doesn't really start to pick up African American support after the first debate, he's done.

And now the blimp is grounded and he's doing infomercials shilling for a convicted felon.

The local police chief in Houston is blaming #blm for a black guy killing a cop. Sigh. It was a terrible murder. Shot 15 times at a gas station for no reason at all (is there ever an actual reason?).

If deray went and killed the guy, mayyyyybe I blame blm. Otherwise, it was a murder that has little to do with blm other than assigning justifications after the fact. We keep trying to get to the heart of why murderers with guns kill. Even the reasons a guy like Roof are a little immaterial when we can attack the actual problems. Getting caught up in the murderers means we don't move on to the issue.

deray is extreme levels of saccharine corny.

people too into twitter can people weird; they start to act like what they say on twitter is the be all, end all. deray wrote on twitter that he 'tweeted out the links' to something when asked why he hadn't done more research on what black people in the UK face. twitter's a bad place for sustaining activism, imo. it is good in engaging with MRAs and hashtags and seeing sports people tweet, tho

ISIS destroyed the Temple of Bel in Palmyra. Destroying history.

In other Syrian news, the Syrian government dedicated a park to North Korea's founder (grandfather of Kim Jong Un). They both vowed to fight terrorism.

Russia is now visibly support the Syrian government against ISIS after negotiations with Iran. Everyone is teaming up. it's the freaking Megapowers here.

Putin reportedly touched dong tips with Assad. It's a friendly way for heterosexual Russians to acknowledge respect and admiration for another man's genitalia in a safe and totally not gay manner.
