In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders, NOT A RACIST [View all]BrotherIvan
(9,126 posts)If the poster/blogger wanted to address that she didn't feel that Sanders talked about civil rights and social justice enough in his speech, that would have been greeted entirely differently as that is a fair point. If that post was anything but a hit piece by two white women intentionally trying to draw a line between racial hatred and Bernie Sanders with a bizarre argument and totally unrelated images, I fail to see it.
"Not enough, Bernie" in that post implied that he is closing his eyes and ignoring the suffering of people of color. As though he has never spoken on civil rights or police violence. The post then ended a quote from as far back as 2007 and a link to all the incredible things Hillary Clinton has done for civil rights. Except if you read that link, it includes statements such as, "She argued with Bill." The post had a very clear agenda, and it was vile.
If you think any of this is ok, then that is your right. I don't. I think it is co-opting and completely duplicitous.
