FACT NOT IN DISPUTE: Al Sharpton won less than 10% of people of color vote in 2004s Florida Primary

Being black, EVEN AMONGST BLACKS, isn't some type of innate advantage.

We black folk aren't stupid and support people based off the content of their character.

Ferraro is out of line.

1. She is out of line...

but even most black folks know Sharpton is a shite stirrer and have no use for him. If he was more on the up and up, more blacks woulda voted for him.

2. also not in dispute: early in the campaign, Clinton was the choice of significant number of AAs

Obama didn't start with 80-90 percent support from African American voters. His support grew and voters became familiar with him, his message, and made their comparison between him and HRC.
