141. I work as an educator in the Bronx
I work in a school that has 97% students of African American decent, and 50-60% of my colleagues are A.A. In my conversations with some of them, they have expressed shock and dismay over the things that Clinton and her campaign have done or said. There's been one alienating thing after the other since January. In our conversations my friends said that they were hurt by the "white, hardworking Americans" comment more than anything. They've alos said that they once loved and supported Bill and Hillary for years, but no more. It will take a lot, an awful lot to repair the damage that's been done.
