In reply to the discussion: Ex-NAACP Head Ben Jealous: Sanders is Most Consistent Candidate Tackling Racism, Militarism & Greed [View all]Kind of Blue
(8,709 posts)9. Well, it would have helped if you had
taken a little time during that search to read how we feel. One of the most obvious repeated sentiments is that we don't need unwarranted, constant feedback from especially Bernie supporters "enlightening" us on news about African-American politics, as if we aren't capable of keeping abreast of politics that concerns us.
So no, it was probably not posted because WE KNOW already and we're evaluating the pros and cons of each one. Just because we're not talking particularly of an endorsement that gets you excited, doesn't mean that you should assume that we don't know what's happening.
I can't believe you're that unaware.

No, I will not disrupt the Sanders Group on your behalf. Here's a thread in GD: P for you instead.

I have been nothing but polite, despite the rude reception I received. Laugh on that for awhile. nt

So you are cool with 'disrupting' as long as your feelings (or group's) don't get hurt?

So, are you supporting Hillary in the primary, or planning to write in Malcom X?

Because of all the hostility to Bernie and Bernie supporters I'm sensing here. Alert away. nt
