Jesse Jackson ran for the democratic nomination in 84 and 88, we see how that worked out.

...Bill Clinton said what he said that the tide changed.. its hard to offend an entire race of people (even unintentionally) and expect their support.

Same goes with John McCain, how can he expect to gain the support of black democrats when he voted against the MLK holiday?
Oh thats who he was? Lol, well thats why I never heard of him, or I joined "watching the news" to deep into the general election.

Jesse is who it was. I saw it on "I love '84" and forgot. But yea, he was waaaaay ahead of the times and just lost in spectacular fashion.

Bill messed up period being "racist" anyway while trying to cockblock Obama. He has all kinds of lil remarks that frustate me, even though I like him. HIllary on the other hand, just trys to spit game to the public (albit she does a good job) but not even my Aunt supported her views and my aunt is obviously a woman.
