2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumOk. I want to hear, from African Americans in Chappaqua ,*specifically*, what kind of .....
....neighbors Ms. Clinton and her husband are and have been. ( They've been there since 2000, near as I can tell.)
We ( in NYC tv market) are being inundated w. paid HRC propaganda implying that ... thru identification w. ( mostly AA) police shooting victims in NYC area and around the country... Clinton possesses, or is owed, a special relationship to the AA community that supersedes any claimed by Senator Sanders.
But: her neighbors...in Chappaqua.... it seems to me... would know her BEST. 2000 is a long time ago. Someone must have *something* of consequence to say? About Ms. Clinton.
No?
So: where are they? I want to see them. I want to hear them.

I grew up there... in Westchester.... so I'm both familiar w. the terrain AND a little befuddled as to how she (Clinton) managed to land in a town/village/hamlet ( I'm not sure how Chappaqua is officially incorporated) with an AA population of LESS than 1%.
*Most* improbable.
There are... I know from personal experience .... many upscale ( I'm assuming she and Bill were looking for "upscale" communities in Westchester in 2000) w. significant middle/upper-middle class AA populations: White Plains, Mt. Vernon, Yonkers, Tuckahoe, Ossining Pleasantville... I could go on w/o doing the research).
Again: I haven't done the research: BUT every town I'm remotely familiar with has a HIGHER AA population than " less than 1%".
"Less than 1%"... in 40 minutes communing distance from Grand Central Station.... seems to cry out for an explanation.
No?
Yes... we know that BS moved in 1970 or so from Bklyn to Vermont. But his old neighborhood.... was being "swamped", not by an influx of AA's ... but by more European- Russian Jews.
Many of whom... if one believes the for-profit media here... intend to vote for Clinton on Tuesday.
HEY: straighten this out for me. I want to know who, as POTUS, is more likely to help people w/o resources, in the next four years.... given the racial/social/economic "facts on the ground" as we know them.
