A black bourgeoisie perspective on U.S. politics
I was checking out the new HillaryHub.com website, and they featured this video of Maya Angelou endorsing Clinton. The endorsement is a bit… strange. Angelou focuses almost exclusively on Clinton as a strong woman and what her rise to power represents. She also draws parallels to Hillary and black women everywhere. That angle got me cogitating on the “Bill Clinton is our first Black president” theme and an interesting article on the subject from almost five years ago.
Will this endorsement have any meaningful impact on H. Clinton’s support among African-Americans or women? What are your thoughts?
