In reply to the discussion: Just a question. (Update: Origin) Where did the idea originate that Bernie Sanders [View all]KittyWampus
(55,894 posts)Bernie Sanders does not care about minority issues or B.L.M.
The valid criticism that Sanders has received gets turned into this bogus strawman so his supporters on DU and elsewhere can keep sticking their fingers in their ears and pretending his message and campaign are perfect.
The responses so far in this thread prove this.
Your attitude, your need to build this stupid strawman show an extreme weakness. A very thin skin.
It's ironic that those on DU who spent the most time criticizing every damned thing Obama has done since before he was even in the White House are LEAST able to deal with any criticism of Sanders at all.
Build strawmen, invent conspiracy theories do everything but STFU and listen to what people in the African American goup and their allies are telling you.
In the end, if you really support Sanders, you better hope he hears what's being expressed and changes tactics/message. You better hope he hires some minority outreach people. Cause minorities are now the CENTER of the Progressive movement. And if he can't get minorities and women out to vote, he'll lose.
