(1,499 posts)How am I supposed to take the suggestion that I, as a black man, only support Keith Ellision, who has been one of the few politicians to consistently stand up for black people who don't fit white folks' view of "good" black people, e.g., Michael Brown, BLM protestors blocking interstates, angry protestors in Ferguson, the NBPP at the polling station in Philly in 2008, etc. because he endorsed Sanders?
On the other hand, how am I supposed to take this most recent comment?
The answer is very well. It was articulate and I thought really honest. It might push some anti-Bernie lines that just aren't true, but I am more than willing to let that stuff lie because it just doesn't matter now when we have to get some direction together
We are not the villains we have been painting each other.
Thanks
