(39,215 posts)it was clear that many of us also oppose that your posts which were extremely inspiring changed and you have seemed so angry. This present post is just one in a line of very angry posts implying that even Bernie Sanders is racist and us in connection to him. You and we have every right to be angry about Ferguson MO and the many other examples of this type of racism. It is totally unacceptable.
But there are other issues. We do not oppose TPP because President Obama is a black man. We oppose it on purely economic grounds. And yes the people who oppose it are wrong to call him names etc. but they are not wrong to oppose an issue.
My reason for opposing TPP is not just about what happens in the USA. It is about racism. It is about those smaller countries and slave labor. Slave labor and the destruction of their economies so that rich corporations can take advantage of them in any way they want. That is also racism.
