because I'm a perfect example of exactly what was written in this thread. I made a thoughtful and respectful comment to a Bernie supporter in reference to the black community and Spike Lee's endorsement, and was responded to in the most rude and ignorant manner. I responded with the same tone, and the Bernie folks ganged up on me to have my comment hidden, but never challenged the post in which I responded. Whether its attacking and mocking John Lewis, or other insults and ignorance displayed about the black community as a whole, it has been extraordinarily disappointing to read the level of ignorance on display by so called "liberal" democrats and Bernie supporters. And as I have wrote before, it does such a disservice to the candidate they claim to support, because I know, Bernie doesn't subscribe to venom on display in their post, even as he struggles to increase his share of the black vote to try and win this nomination.

I thought this was the DemocraticUnderground, not the BernieUnderground. Hillary and Bernie maybe in a battle for the nomination, but they are not enemies. The black community may be strongly supportive of Hillary, but that doesn't mean as a community we don't love and respect Bernie, and what he is trying to accomplish. I use to look forward to coming to this site, but now its turning into something, that no longer feels like home, and I think its going beyond just the rabid support of Bernie. It's becoming a left wing mirror image of fox news/drudge report. Where intelligent debate about controversial things like TPP are boiled down to dumb ass statements like "I no longer respect Obama because of TPP, and he will only be remembered as the First Black President" Yes, that's what I read on a site called the DemocraticUnderground, and that's what get K&Rs. You almost can't have intelligent debate with these people anymore, and its just sad because I thought this is where you go for exactly that type of intelligent debate on issues important to the Democratic party.
