Anyone who don't think the Clinton machine has used strong arm tactics to get high visibility supporters especially within the CBC and the Black Church are being intentionally blind.
Flying the mothers of dead children who were victimized by this system of oppression anywhere with large black voting blocks is anything but sincere.
Bernie Sanders with Niko House
Niko House is the President of North Carolina College Students for Bernie Sanders. In a recent video posted to youtube, he describes the orchestrated infiltration of the Bernie Sanders campaign in that state by well-connected DNC operatives. House goes into great detail to describe intimidation tactics used against his group that seemed counterproductive – suppression of advertising for events, reaching out to the community, etc.
He goes into some detail explaining that the outsiders who stepped in and took over the campaign from the initial grassroots organizers made what seemed like a concerted effort to avoid reaching out to black leaders in North Carolina and basically ran the campaign into the ground. The videos are worth a watch and pretty illuminating. I’d also say they’re disturbing, but we’ve all come to expect these types of tricks from the Clinton campaign.
The first video is some background and in the second he starts naming names. This is fascinating stuff. You’re not going to see this on the neoliberal corporate media.
