Of course everyone should support their preference in the Primaries but don't get so offended that you don't vote for the Dem simply because your choice didn't get the win. It can and did lead to disastrous consequences. As far as clas issues - no doubt the black community is and has dealt with a uneven and unfair justice system. The retarded "war on drugs" and "three strikes" is no doubt targeted at blacks. It is shameful and the GOP in no way gives a shit.
