(11,841 posts)remember what was said about Obama when that campaign was going on in South or North Carolina? And by Bill Clinton? "A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee." Sure, Obama beat her. But here we are forgetting that was ever said? If that was said in the open, imagine what was said privately!
Imagine if a republican had said those words? We'd STILL be pointing at it!
It wouldnt surprise me at all if I found out that some staff members are quietly pushing a message that "Sanders isnt right for you" and just letting the internet do its thing.
What has Sanders ever done or not done that would make the black community be suspicious of him & not think he would work in their interest? Having fewer staff members than some think is acceptable is hardly a reason. Bush had several staff members who were black as well as Cabinet members. Its ACTIONS that matter.
