Hillary wasn't born a Clinton, and even if she was it would still be ridiculous to hold that against her.
I'm not gonna pretend I know much about american politics, but if the memes is anything to go by I think Bernie would do more for the black ghetto community at the bottom of society considering he is being portrayed as super socialistic. That would make it a bit ironic
Hilary was a goldwater girl. During her highschool years and early college, overt racism was being shunned in the political sphere. At this time the racist had to modify their message but they still said the same thing. For instance, instead of saying "enter racist racial epithet" shouldn't go to school with our kids it was changed to "Low standard schools need to get less money, while high standard schools should get more." Along with a million other US backwards application of public policies that were designed to hurt minorities under the guise of "Not being communist/socials or not being the American way."
Anyhow, this history lesson was not lost on Hillary and she (along with her husband) kept the status quo. The black people in the south love the Clintons because Bill was the first major white southern politician that openly fished for the black vote. His policies lead to suppressing the black communities and removing even more than the hardcore racist republicans (southern) could because he did it with a smile on his face and his motives were not questioned. So this is why the black community supporting the Clintons is ironic and funny, especially when you compare it to Sanders who did everything the entire Clinton family never did and continues to do it today!
