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

14. Don't think General, think Primaries.

We're not saying don't vote for the Democrat in the General Election.

Right now, we're talking about the Primaries. And whether presidential candidates who are running in the primaries should have us and our issues in mind.

"Driving While Black" is not a class issue. Unequal incarceration rates are not a class issue. Job and housing discrimination, inequality in credit applications - not class issues.

One of the things that is hard for black people to deal with is the amount of ILLEGAL sh*t that white people get away with that black people get locked up for. And then a black person has a criminal record that the white person, who did the exact same thing, does not have. The playing field is not level.

As for Bernie... black people supported Hillary. Don't lay that Bernie crap on us.
