I can't believe that was even written but then again it is a funny thing to me, and I mean funny ha-ha, that Sanders is doing a great job of corralling them for HRC/the party and they don't even know it or want to even face the possibility. So the vicious ones can be as tone deaf as they want to be, Sanders won't speak to it because their passion for him is against the Republicans and is exactly what Clinton needs, no matter how much they hate her.

It is wise to "look at the people making those comments and the people applauding it," and there are many of them. As far as I'm concerned, on BLM activisim, the campaigns are using the tone deafness to solidify black votes for Clinton. The vicious Sanders' supporters are playing their part quite well.
