On the continuation of this post of why politics is not really appealing to our generation is because the lack of votes this year. Although the media portrays the active role of the everyday individual in political affairs shown in the following charts that will be listed below. One of the more important issues that I would like to touch on is how the democratic candidate Hilary is trying to garner the "black" vote. Bill Clinton unlike Hilary was very popular with African Americans during his presidency more specifically the southern black states. Bill Clinton being from Arkansas was more at home among the community of southern African Americans. Bill's presidency has caused many snafus for the black community such as a increased prison population and the welfare bill that ended up that making poor black family more poor. Hilary's race for presidential race was viewed with this stacked against her and with other blunders from her political past. In a recent interview on the Breakfast Club, Hilary admitted to deliberately trying to get the "black" vote through means of pop culture. Nowadays people don't really care about how popular the politicians are with the media but what changes are going to be made.
