But that racial imbalance doesn’t bother the 74-year-old Jackson, who ran for president on the Democratic ticket in 1984 and 1988. Asked by The Daily Caller if his party’s all-white field was of concern, Jackson said that it is not. “The Republicans, all of them are minority candidates. Even the white ones — their positions are minority,” Jackson said. Asked if he would like to have liked to see some minority candidates in the 2016 Democratic cohort, Jackson appeared to place some blame on the African-American community — and not the Democratic party — for failing to put forth a viable candidate. “That’s not the party’s fault, that’s a choice that the movement has to make,” Jackson told TheDC. “Nobody knocked us off the stage.” “Most people chose to support Hillary, and some others are now warming up to Bernie Sanders,” he continued. “That’s a choice people made. And they didn’t think taking on her was worth the fight, that she could be a good president.”

Well, that's more like it. I've always observed that the never-defined smear term "white supremacist"* would have to include anybody who persistently votes for white politicians, REGARDLESS of motive. Thus every black person who faithfully voted for (e.g.) Slick, Jimmah, Lyndon, Truman, numerous Kennedys and FDR would have to be such, allowing for people's pandemic ignorance of the Jueishness of Truman et al. *or "white supremist" as it's groanably misconscrued
