Hillary-Phobes. Don't Paint Yourself Into a Corner

56. They treated Obama the same way. And Hillary cheerleaders are one to talk.

They know that she ran a disgustingly racist campaign back in 2008. For her and/or her supporters to accuse anyone of not caring about bigotry is rich.

With that said, I think that ALL Democrats should do more to speak out against racism and bigotry.

The Democratic Party has taken black voters for granted long enough, and I know a lot of us plan to sit out 2016. HRC is despised for it. The racism and mistreatment of this black president has turned a lot of us off. And the Democratic Party has done very little to stand up for this president when he is being ridiculed and treated with disdain and disrespect.

DU has sucked for a long time because there is a brand of racism and bigotry that exists here ever since Obama first announced his run. It has been incredibly racist here and most black DUers and other people of color have either left or bravely stick around in the Race & Ethnicity forum to find solace and relief.

I think ALL the Democratic party nominees should be shouting about racial injustice, but I won't hold my breath. As much as I love Bernie, when he's in front of all-white audiences, he's very careful when it comes to the issue of race, which is quite disturbing and alarming. But not surprising.
