That is beautiful, Effie.. Thank you

so much for giving such a detailed essay on why the POC community found Sanders' comments on President Obama so offensive.

I know I did when I read it.. I appreciated President Obama all the years we had him. Wow, I even had a dream about him last night.. lol he was back in school, wanted to be a Doctor.. not sure what of. I saw Michelle riding about on a bicycle, too.

I just saw this..

Sellers argued that Obama’s legacy encompasses not just his work as president from a policy perspective, but his symbolic importance. He alluded to the photo of a boy touching Obama’s hair in the White House to see if it felt like his. “Bernie Sanders doesn’t understand how that photo is emblematic of the hope of many African Americans and that it speaks loudly to who Barack Obama is.”

"Bernie's comments were tone-deaf and will not help him with communities of color, especially black folks," said Joshua DuBois, a strategist who led Obama's faith-based initiative. "On that hallowed day, our focus should've been on the transformative legacy of Dr. King and how we can come together to continue King's fight against systemic racism and injustice — not attacking the legacy of the first black president, who fought against many of the same things Dr. King fought."

BS chose the day after we won big in Wisconsin to attack the Democratic Party.. and the day of the Anniversary of the assassination of MLK to go after President Obama.
