(23,955 posts)Do you feel it may simply be a matter of personality type? Not "good" or "bad" personality traits, but simply an aspect of one's personality that can lead to some white Bernie Sanders supporters being very hurt, taking the words of the two women protesters in Seattle personally versus other white Sanders supporters not taking it personally at all?
Maybe I'm making the various reactions to these events too complicated. It may simply be personality type. We all have different tolerances for conflict and behaviors.
I don't know. 
I agree that we need to get beyond this point, but I don't think we can do so effectively without working through things more and achieving some level of harmony -- not complete unity, but simply harmony...different voices coming together. If we don't do this, it will be similar to the "just move on" aspect of what happened that was so hurtful and divisive between some people and the LGBT community -- here on DU and elsewhere. There are wounds there that haven't been dealt with either and prevent effective dialogue and collaboration.
