The partial reason for this is because Black people historically do not approach political figures with any tangible requests.

And because of this,many politicians will engage in symbolic or patronizing  strategies to win the Black vote. in the early 90’s when former president Bill Clinton was running for office,his way of gaining the Black vote was getting on tv,wearing dark sunglasses and playing the saxophone . This gave the impression that Bill Clinton was “cool”,and many Black people flocked to the voting booths to help put him in office. Bill Clinton relayed the Black community by implementing some of the harshest prison sentencing laws that resulted in much of the mass incarceration we still see today.

Now presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is getting in on the act using the same patronizing techniques to win over Black voters. Instead of coming up with protective measures for Melanoid citizens who are being terrorized by this violent system of white supremacy,Clinton chose another strategy.

Hillary Clinton recently went on the Ellen Show,and attempted to do a hip hop dance called the Whip & Nae Nae as a way to seemingly  “connect”  with Black voters.
