In reply to the discussion: "Why African-American voters may doom Bernie Sanders’ candidacy" [View all]Number23

Yours has been one of the few voices of sanity here for years. I was just thinking about how good it is to see Empowerer and Frenchiecat back. But so many posters of color here have left and not come back and I genuinely don't blame them at all.
one is especially bad right now in complaining about hillary and black voters. this person doesn't care about black voters and cheered on Obama being called a piece of shit even though many said how hurtful it was especially for the black community. fuck anyone who defended that and i can't take any concern they have for minorities seriously after that crap.
It just astonishes me that they think they are fooling anybody. Like they aren't as transparent as glass. They race around this board calling the president every disgusting name they can think of, maligning minority communities and fighting with minority posters right and freaking left then want to be the first ones posting cherry picked MLK quotes or half-baked articles -- no matter how half-literate and moronic -- from the five black people on earth that are fucked up enough to see the world as they do.
I'm just to the point where I don't want anything to do with them. They seem as hostile to my community as any right winger so why I should feel differently or treat them any differently as I would any right winger?

This video should bring back some memories, esp. the MLK, Jessie Jackson, others towards the end.
