Got that folks?...
If you're undecided, that just means that you're a racist and can't get over your racist feelings...
Identity politics...think it's bad in the race?...Just think what happens when someone argues against Obama's policies as president...
"Either you submit to my policies or you hate black people."...
My name won't be on this empty bill of goods...

Kind of like Spanish has a tradition of not trusting Africans, Union and some other clusters of traditional Democrats traditionally don't trust Africans.
First to explain the Latin thing- The ships that brought the slaves were mostly Spanish though the British and colonies and others (including Arabs) did the trading. But it is a kind of ingrained subculture view that the Democrat party has sought (with success) to abolish in today's America.
Unions not having black members (in history-not now) stems from one of the biggest strike breaks in America when meat packers shipped thousands of African Americans to Chicago to break the strike. They broke it. They could never belong to a union cause they were scabs. And the meat packers fired them and hired the next group of union free immigrants to fill their shoes at a much lower wage. There has been a resentment of Blacks ever since. Joe knows union people and he knows some other demographics just naturally don't trust Blacks. He is trying to dispel the myths and bring them on board to a brand new way of thinking. Some people want to embrace forgetting racism. He's just helping to push them over to where almost everyone wants to be anyway.
I mean if the only reason you won't vote for someone is because your granddaddy would roll over in his grave, that's kind of silly, don't you think? Pointing to out obvious and dealing with it head on, is one strength this Democratic campaign has going for it.
