I hear you. I refuse to, unless absolutely necessary, click on buzzfeed, raw story and a few others Hassin Bin Sober Jul 2016 #92

The headline is misleading. Can't you see that? think Jul 2016 #61

The issue was resolved hours ago but, thanks for jumping in DonViejo Jul 2016 #72

No. The issue is still not resolved. The headline makes it seem like Sanders staff were racist. think Jul 2016 #73

Do like I did, take it up with the Editor of Buzzfeed... DonViejo Jul 2016 #74

Easy mistake to make based on poor Buzzfeed headline. emulatorloo Jul 2016 #20

sure it is stupidicus Jul 2016 #24

You accusing me of something? emulatorloo Jul 2016 #27

I stated an incontrovertible fact stupidicus Jul 2016 #30

My conscience is completely clear. emulatorloo Jul 2016 #39
