Nina Turner on BERNIE SANDERS at the Women's Convention

[Ninsianna]

220. Except for the fact that it doesn't say that at all, nor does any poll show that.

What reality shows is the fact that they soundly rejected Sanders when given the option to. When he came around again this past week, the deafening roar that you heard and tried to drown out by claiming that only Nina, an anointed black woman, had the power to speak for women of black women.

Nope.

So you're going to generalize now? If we're going to do that, then we should also accept that black folks are generally going to have negative feelings about a guy who sits there silently as his people attack civil rights legends, attack voters in the south as not knowing much, and repeating right wing talking points about plantations and how they celebrate a "confederate" culture. It's because black folks are not stupid that they find Nina Turner and her antics to be embarrassing, and why they're not pleased when Bernie inserts himself into places where he doesn't belong (like headlining a women's convention) and then hiding behind 3 women of color when the natural and voluble backlash comes.

Black people are not stupid, black women do not need Nina Turner to speak for them, and the votes and the quotes should tell you that you don't get to erase black people or silence their voices when its convenient for you.


That's a hard no on that, and it's why you can't back up your fond beliefs with anything like data, the facts and the numbers just tell you otherwise.
