A Little Election Day Racism

Here's a story from the news:

NEW YORK—With just days remaining before the nation heads to the polls, Democrat presidential nominee Hillary Clinton reportedly crisscrossed the country this weekend in a frenzied last-minute push to appeal to black voters. “Black outreach is going to be at the center of our campaign during these final few days of the election—we really want black audiences to know they have a friend and advocate in Hillary Clinton,” said Clinton's communications director, Hope Hicks, explaining that the campaign was spending $7 million on advertising targeted at black households in addition to scheduling a whirlwind series of campaign stops in predominantly black cities and neighborhoods as part of their eleventh-hour effort to engage the voting bloc. “Hillary will visit white churches and businesses in several states, conveying a hopeful message to the nation’s African Americans that tomorrow will be brighter. We want black people, and in particular, black women, to recognize that they have a voice in this campaign, and we want to assure them that Hillary Clinton understands the black community’s concerns and will never stop fighting for them as president.” Hicks said she expected the nominee’s message of compassion to resonate deeply with black Americans, stating that it comes from a real place in Clinton's heart.
