Should The Black Community Press Candidates For A Black Agenda? (Discussion and Poll)

5. I would say that it the black community's responsibility to communicate their priorities.

Understanding that when someone runs for POTUS they indeed do represent all people (or should). Two important considerations - (1) in most cases the "black agenda" is not a lot different than most working people's agenda. They have and do suffer specific problems - most have to do with racism (lack of opportunity due to race, a totally skewed justice system because of race, etc) and lack of representation due to white privilege and supremacy (2) even if the candidate does not specifically address the black agenda, it is very important to support a candidate that is more likely to support their causes and VOTE even if it is not a perfect candidate.

The choice is clear - enthusiastically support the Democratic candidate. The lack of voter turnout by Bernie voters is one of the major factors that gave us TRUMP.
