"Why African-American voters may doom Bernie Sanders’ candidacy"

[Number23]

49. DAMN. RIGHT.

Too many people who "discover" this group when the opportunity arises to bash one of the candidates do so in ways that are appallingly demeaning to AA members,

but they don't demean us. They demean THEMSELVES. Particularly as they attempt to change the topic to matters that are more palatable to them as if our own thoughts and beliefs don't mean shit even in the so-called safe spaces created for us to discuss them.

When these people barge into this forum to "educate" us on stuff they very clearly know little about, bombard us with their thoughts even after being clearly told that they are unwelcome, vote in our polls even after being asked specifically not to, and try to highjack our conversations because we are focusing too much on "the wrong thing" -- which means to them, we are not focusing on what they WANT us to focus on -- it's apparent that they don't seem to understand they don't demean us in the least. They demean only themselves and whatever they think they stand for and represent.

And as the old adage says, "when someone shows you who they are, BELIEVE THEM" and I most certainly do. Which is why I want absolutely nothing to do with the people that engage in these tactics or the folks that applaud their idiotic behavior.

The steak in the pan looks mighty good (at least to the carnivores) but it will only feed a few. We can all add our bits to the soup that will feed masses.

I love that.
