(20,450 posts)on the respective campaign. A black gentleman from Alabama called in to share his experiences about how the white volunteers for Sanders have been discriminating against him and other black men who were volunteering. He recounted a scenario where white volunteer directors would give all the manual labor and heavy lifting tasks to the black gentlemen while the white volunteers got to do the desk work--the fun stuff...the "in the weeds" stuff. He also told of how he and other black volunteers were being shut out and disrespected. They also felt segregated from the rest of the team while the white volunteers would go to lunch and dinner and hang out in groups. None of the blacks were invited to join them.
The host of the show asked the gentleman to call in frequently with updates.
