1. From the same dingleberries that brought us "#MississippiBerning."

No, Bernie, you don't get to co-opt the message of racial activism for your phony progressive movement.

2. Some comments...

Ray C. ?@rayyy_charles 17h17 hours ago
@Matthew_Artz @BernieSanders that shit's just insulting. Overcome what? Living with your parents?

Kerri ?@anypigslft 17h17 hours ago
@rayyy_charles @docrocktex26 @Matthew_Artz @BernieSanders disgraceful appropriation makes clear how fucked up Sanders judgment is.

Angeles Romero ?@angeles524 17h17 hours ago
@anypigslft @docrocktex26 @rayyy_charles @Matthew_Artz the struggle is real! Their moms said they could only have Starbucks 2x per day!

Ray C. ?@rayyy_charles 17h17 hours ago
@angeles524 or when mom threatens to take them off the family plan.

Angeles Romero ?@angeles524 17h17 hours ago
@rayyy_charles or when mom forced them to choose Stanford instead of Harvard. Such pain!

Ari Keys ?@arionkeys 17h17 hours ago
@Matthew_Artz @Only4RM @BernieSanders We shall overcome the majority of African Americans who voted for Hillary and flip Superdelegates?


makingapoint ?@thenumberofrest 17h17 hours ago
@Matthew_Artz @deray @BernieSanders BS really think this is the thing to do TO WIN OVER AFRICAN AMERICANS. Frankly, it's insulting.

@thenumberofrest @Matthew_Artz @deray @BernieSanders It's extremely insulting, but that's a hallmark of Bernie's campaign. no common sense.

30. What are they smoking ???

So the fools have come right out and said they want to "overcome" the votes of black voters...I don't n ow what else to say except SMH !!!

[workinclasszero]

35. IKR?

Tone deaf and blind as hell SMH

[forjusticethunders]

6. Lol this made me laugh

Humor helps to take the sting out of the "slapped in the face" feeling I get from this mockery. I've been so patient with this campaign, even when I was supporting Bernie, I tried to tell them they were being tone-deaf and insensitive, so I'm not going to hold back anymore. It's almost like they're doing this on purpose.

[Koinos]

15. The campaign has a death wish.

[bluestateguy]

23. Now, now.

Some of them will have to wait until they are 21 to get their trust funds.

[SunSeeker]

4. Wow. K & R for exposure. nt

[Quayblue]

7. Remember Sanders is a civil rights hero right up there with MLK Jr and Nelson Mandela.

[workinclasszero]

8. Sanders is the slackivist's/berniebro's MLK

[charlyvi]

13. One comment on Reddit said that Sanders was braver than MLK

Why you ask?

Because MLK didn't run for President!

In 19 fucking 68 MLK didn't run for President so he isn't as brave as Bernie Sanders in 2016!

I think maybe he was busy doing other, way more dangerous things in 1968. These kids have absolutely no historical perspective. None. At. All.

[sarae]

17. ???

So even though the South had only recently desegregated buses and water fountains in 1968, this commenter thinks Martin Luther King would've been able to launch a full-scale presidential campaign?!! WTF

Yes, if only MLK had possessed the courage and fortitude of Bernie Sanders.

Do they teach history in school anymore?

[charlyvi]

18. I know, right? eom

[LisaM]

26. He also didn't make it even close to Bernie Sanders' age

At the age MLK was assassinated, 39, Bernie didn't even have a full time job yet.

[charlyvi]

28. Yep

Living on unemployment in his mid 30's.

[Quayblue]

37. They oughta be ashamed of themselves

But they won't be. What a fucked up thing to ever enter their minds.

[puffy socks]

9. I would say entitlement

Last edited Tue May 31, 2016, 07:49 PM - Edit history (1)

and I hope they overcome it soon.

[Rose Siding]

10. Their first experience with a campaign loss?

Seems a trite misuse and usurping of culture, but maybe that's just me.

[Starry Messenger]

11. Starbucks was probably closed in City Center.

Considering the AA population of Oakland has been reduced nearly by 1/2 by gentrification and rent gouging, this was offensive on several levels.

[asuhornets]

12. Is there an audio version of them singing? LOL

[Koinos]

14. I am stunned. How clueless can they become?

Yet they think they know better than everyone else.

History will not be kind to Bernie Sanders.

[sheshe2]

16. Tone deaf, every one of them.

[wryter2000]

19. Love one answer

"What do they have to overcome?"

"Math"

edited to add: It hurts me to see my beloved city portrayed in this way. Stay out of Oakland, Berniebros. We don't need you.

[geek tragedy]

20. LMAO. Was Shailene Woodley part of the chorus?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1107114798

[bluestateguy]

21. They're overcoming the microagression of people voting for Hillary

nt

[fleabiscuit]

22. Notice "The Universe Finch" in the header? :-) nt

In the reddit link.

[Historic NY]

24. Definitely not stupidity

[Walk away]

25. I could not possibly say what I really want to about this here...

but I can think it and post it all over the internet!

[bravenak]

27. Did all the black folks leave outta oakland?

I was looking for some.

[fleabiscuit]

29. Well, it is being gentrified.

So a translucent vermonter might whip up a mayonnaise crowd.

[Jamaal510]

40. I'm here,

but yeah--it's nothing like how it was in my parents' days (or even when I was growing up in the 90s and early 2000s), especially when you look at North and West Oakland.

[bravenak]

41. That crowd looked way different than I expected

Everybody is moving outta L.A. Same as there.

[Sparkly]

31. Rebels without a cause.

If we reinstituted a draft but only to do a few hours of community service, they'd be in a REAL uproar.

Freedom is not only free in their limited worldview, it's very, very simple.

[Haveadream]

32. Beautiful Video

Heroes!!!

(The real kind)

[wisteria]

34. Over come losing. Because that is what Sander's has done- lost.

[NastyRiffraff]

36. Silly old me

I thought I'd seen the bottom of the barrel. Turns out it was a false bottom and we're now heading for the abyss. Disgusting beyond words. And judging by Twitter comments, they really don't know it's disgusting and inappropriate. Some of us have been calling them spoiled brats but we didn't know the depth of the problem.

[ProudProgressiveNow]

38. I was part of the civil rights movement...

... that makes me want to puke.

[shadowandblossom]

39. Special snowflake syndrome.
