   Ben grew up in my hometown Pacific Grove, which would represent a typical white Sanders place, but spent time in Baltimore too.  He's the perfect crossover endorsement, for what its worth, but being of mixed race, not sure how much he'd be considered fully part of black community.

Presumably trying to stop the NAACP from being Facebook-bombed by Bernie Bros telling them about Killer Mike.

Looks like there's another one losing his invite to the Hillary lifeboat.

Ofcourse look at the replies from Hillary hacks.

Welcome move, but much more needed. Hillary is hugely ahead in the African American community. I am not worried about the Latino community. IMO that won't be a problem, but blacks  - Sanders is too far behind in a Democrat process to be considered viable

Not worried Super Tuesday - He will do reasonably well & win enough states there to continue his challenge ! Best wishes

I don't see why they'd accept him less than someone born to a Kenyan and a white parent who grew up in Hawaii and Indonesia.

How many black voters could tell you who Ben Jealous is without googling it? Wake me up when Sanders gets a Beyonce endorsement.

Did you realize many black voters care about actual political issues, and might put more stock in the thoughts of a leader of the NAACP than some pop singer?

I agree, I wish the Sanders campaign had realised this before trotting out a rapper as their spokesman on black issues constantly.

Except for the fact that she wasn't supposed to. Reality denial continues.
