No.
I'm saying that "we" should discount the black voters who--by and large--voted for Hillary because they are going to vote for whomever the Democratic nominee is anyway.
Which is to say---look only at those voters who might not vote if their preferred candidate isn't the nominee and look at who they voted for. Those are the voters that matter in the general election, and that is the election that truly matters.

Again, no.
The proper rephrasing would be: if you don't count the people who would vote for the Democratic nominee regardless of who that person may be, then yes, Bernie would be doing better.
