(14,566 posts)Is to paint them as overly sensitive to the point of having a Pavlovian response to anyone in that community that criticizes a brother....even if thought warranted by that person. I guess Killer Mike and Spike Lee are also on that list.
That it is the ACT of criticism not the actual substance of that criticism that they cannot get over.
Or that the ferocity and frankness of that criticism is too loud for their sensitive ears, and is especially verboten when coming from another brother. That they should just be thankful that they have a dark skinned President and that they will obviously then vote for his endorsed replacement no matter how more economically better they would be with the "other" candidate.
Oh yeah one more, that if anyone tells them that fact, they will act as children and stomp their feet and say they will then purposely vote for the candidate out of spite, because one of the other's supporters implied they were stupid for voting against their best interests on an anonymous message board.
