It's sad to see that this contest has degenerated into openly bickering about race. Half of the Democratic Party are afraid of the Big Scary Black Guy, have switched to watching Faux News, not just throwing enlightened discussion but our entire country under the bus. I'm all for people airing their complaints or concerns, but this "Black Value System" nonsense is just what the News TOLD you to be worried about. What doesn't make sense for a black church to support black people? Why is it "HATE" for a bunch of people with a common trait to get together and show support for one another? Is Alcoholics Anonymous a HATE group because they don't spend half their sessions talking about the plight of orphans?
Obama's policies cannot be assailed, his voting record and public service cannot be assailed, so what do we do? Half of us go for the jugular and start badmouthing the guy over his RACE. This is disgusting, and it isn't the Democratic Party I know.
If you want to know what the real dividing line is between Hillary supporters and Obama supporters, it isn't race or gender. It's age and idealism. Hillary supporters are either old or have given up on their idealism for some kind of empty realism that doesn't allow them to dream of an America that isn't being suffocated by partisan BS. Obama supporters still believe we can overcome our differences.
Listen to Barack's "More Perfect Union" speech, and actually listen to what he is saying, not just waiting for soundbites you can use to slander him. Try to hear the message of a badly damaged public discourse in this country and our absolute need to overcome it and heal our divisions. America will not stand divided, but divided is exactly what America and the Democratic Party will be if Hillary pulls her strings and STEALS this race from the candidate who actually has the popular vote.
