10. Say it again!

So true, prior to the 60s and the civil rights movement, blacks shared the vote with Repukes and pre 1950s, many of the KKK and other separatist groups voted Democratic. The Repukes still had points from Lincoln ending slavery.

We need to work for every vote the way Clinton did!

"is based on past patterns. African-Americans have consistently voted Democratic since at least the sixties.

Of course, the Democratic candidate should reach out to every group. We should never take our position as the party of inclusion for granted. We should work for every vote we receive"
