narrow as it was--she took Louisville by 17-points. The 2007 demographic breakdown for the entire Louisville Metro area was 74.8% White (71.7% non-Hispanic), 22.2% Black, 0.6% American Indian, 2.0% Asian, 0.1% Hawaiian or Pacific islander, 1.4% other, and 1.6% multiracial.
In the state as a whole the African-American population accounts for only 7.8% of the population.
Once again Bernie shows he can't win with people of color.

(20,450 posts)base. He didn't win blacks, Hispanics, Asians, women are other Democratic Party faithful groups...not even most Jews who vote Democratic. Instead, he alienated these groups and opted for white men.
Many of us people of color have been arguing throughout this entire campaign that in order for Sanders to win, he would need to make inroads with black and Hispanic voters. Well, he and his supporters instead marginalized and alienated these voters and now we see the result. And when he didn't forcibly condemn Bernie Bros. he may have indeed lost a fair number of white women voters.
Sanders doesn't seem to care about the Democratic Party at all, as evidenced by his defiance on the Democratic Party rules and by the fact that he has marginalized every segment of the Democratic Party.
I feel that he is deliberately trying to sabotage this election and create chaos. He knows damn well that he doesn't have a clear path to the nomination.
