Why Bernie’s Free Stuff Platform Won’t Carry South Carolina Blacks

In theory, Bernie Sanders’ platform of Free Stuff ought to appeal to black Democratic voters in South Carolina today. But in black politics, in both America and Africa, 19th Century European socialist logic doesn’t have much emotional appeal. It’s too abstract and impersonal.

Instead, black politics is mostly about the Big Man Gets Paid (and, in these enlightened times, the Big Woman Gets Paid.)

Hillary simply has a longer track record than Bernie of seeing that local Big Men and Big Women get their cut.
