just white men. Why is that? Why are black men comfortable voting for her?

As a social scientist, this question has been flying around in my head for a while now, so i thought I'd ask you guys if you had any insight.

(Usual Disclaimer: this is posted in the AA group for a reason. Merely discussing race does not make something racist. Discussing why there are differences in races on voting is not 'divisive' no matter how many times some of you say so. This is a discussion board, we discuss social issues, race and racism is one of those issues, sexism is another one, the intersectionality of race and gender is a third valid issue.)
