But here’s the thing: Sanders has stuck to his script about economic inequality and wealth hoarding in a campaign waged in the wake of a series of rather high-profile deaths of young, unarmed black men. So, for most black voters, the limited value of economic and even history-making political gains in the person of President Obama has never been more clear. Unless some kind of national attention is paid to what is currently a more pressing and existential issue for many African Americans, other gains seem tenuous at best. One cannot vote or grow a bank account if one is dead.
