In Iowa's small black community, little love for the caucuses or Joe Biden

DES MOINES, Iowa - In the Near North Side neighborhood, a black community in the heart of Iowa’s state capital, it would be easy to miss that the nation’s first presidential nominating contest is only days away.

Residents here, in two dozen interviews, said they felt overlooked by the Democratic candidates, a troubling sign for a party that will need the support of African-American voters for its eventual nominee in the Nov. 3 presidential election. Contrary to national polls that show Joe Biden is the most popular Democratic candidate among African Americans, only two of the 24 interviewed said they preferred former President Barack Obama’s vice president.Black voters account for about a quarter of the national Democratic primary electorate.

“Because Barack Obama was met by such opposition and racism, there is a great deal of concern that that would repeat itself. Barack Obama met such degradation. I love Tom Steyer, and I love Bernie Sanders. They seem most committed to social, economic and criminal justice. I mourn over the social injustice and the criminal injustice. America should be ashamed of itself. There seems to be no moral compass to put in place policies to alleviate this.

Good, I hope the entire black community realizes that Joe Biden is no friend.

must be quite the small black population if that’s the pic they decided to use

I predict an unprecedented loss for Biden in Iowa.

We can do the anecdotal thing too, .

Biden sucks and caucuses are pretty antiquated.

I must read these kids don’t know how to address a letter or buy a stamp.....don’t really feel good about them choosing a president.

He doesn’t look that small

I’m surprised you didn’t talk to the even smaller black community in New Hampshire; this entire article is nothing but a distraction and a totally useless one at that!

Caucuses are a relic. Just let them vote.
