(ThyBlackMan.com) What will it take for Democrats to lose the 95 percent black vote?

Hacked email to and from staffers at the Democratic National Committee and to and from John Podesta, Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman, shows she cares far more about the black vote than black voters.

Concern for lack of diversity: One email, three months before she announced her presidential candidacy, shows Clinton’s future campaign staff mocking the criticism that it lacks racial diversity. Her then-spokesperson and future traveling press secretary Nick Merrill dismissively joked that former Bill Clinton chief of staff and future Hillary Clinton campaign director Robby Mook “claims he’s 1/16th Apache, so we should be all set.”

Earlier this year, “Frank” (identified by WikiLeaks as fwj77@comcast.net, and reported by RT.com to be Frank White Jr., who raised $2.3 million for Barack Obama in 2012) wrote to Podesta about courting black votes: “I’m hearing the same complaint in political circles that I continue to hear while fundraising. ‘The blackvoters-hillaryclintoncampaign doesn’t value black folks and takes us for granted.’ Can I make a suggestion? A black campaign vice chair or senior advisor would go a long way during the primary and send the message that Hillary puts her actions where her mouth is, and actually does appreciate the black vote.” Podesta replied: “Right now I think we should do this right after Super Tuesday.”

“Birtherism“: Clinton routinely attacks Donald Trump for what she calls the “racist lie” that Obama is a Muslim from Kenya. Yet a 2008 memo between a polling analyst and several people close to Clinton’s campaign — including Podesta — listed several “negatives” of her opponent, then-Sen. Obama, included the following: “Obama (owe-BAHM-uh)’s father was a Muslim and Obama grew up among Muslims in the world’s most populous Islamic country.”
