If I were asked to answer the following question: WHAT IS SLAVERY? and I should answer in one word, IT IS MURDER, my meaning would be understood at once. No extended argument would be required to show that the power to take from a man his thought, his will, his personality, is a power of life and death; and that to enslave a man is to kill him. ...

Most Americans reject the Theory of Evolution: 66 to 33 percent.

with baffling bullshit, Census [!] ACS "overall" population estimates
IPSOS | Sanders and Biden Vie for the African American Vote, 17 Jan

African American voters make up 12.5% of the overall [sic] ["]electorate["] [TABLE. sample δ -1% 2012-2016], but constitute approximately 20% of the Democratic ["]base["], as they tend to vote exclusively vote Democratic. Just 8% of the African American vote went to President Donald Trump in the 2016 election [TABLE. 6% GOP 2012]. As a result, any Democrat running for the presidency must win over this voting bloc.
Underscoring just how important African American voters are in the general election, take a look at their vote break-down in the last two presidential elections. Even the slightest shifts in African American turnout, up or down, can make or break an election, particularly in swing states.[?]
There's a ["]legitimate["] argument to be made that the 2016 presidential election outcome might have been different if African Americans had turned out at similar levels as they did for Obama in 2012.

neither legal nor mathematical arguments not proved in this article, however -- Democrat Bloomberg vows to narrow wealth gap for black Americans, 19 Jan

A Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted Jan. 15-16 showed ... Biden has the most African American support with 23%, according to Reuters/Ipsos polling in the month through mid-January, compared to 17% for Sanders, 9% for Warren and 7% for Bloomberg.

This is a black-owned, ADOS* publication likely harboring "anti-immigrant" and pro-Kremlin sentiments of marginally engaged, unregistered likely citizens. Discard.

Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden Are Statistically Tied for the Black Vote in this New Poll, 14 Jan

A poll conducted by VICE News-Ipsos last week reveals that just as many voters of color would support the Vermont senator as they would former Vice President Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election should either of them win the Democratic nomination. When asked would you consider voting for the following candidates for president in 2020?, 56% of African Americans said they would consider supporting Sanders in the general election while 54% said they would back Biden. Meanwhile, more Hispanic respondents said they would "consider voting for" Sanders than those who said they'd consider voting for Biden.
