I guess we should be in favor of the civil war, given your thinking?

I'm not worried about Bernie's creds. I am worried about how Black people are treated, along with many other societal and economic problems. Unlike some, I can campaign and not lose sight of the other issues. This idea that we, as Democrats, honor a person such as Jackson in this modern era, is way too regressive, meaning not progressive at all.

I detect a bit of leaning for Hillary coming from you. Let me just state that it does not bode well for her that any of her supporters is in favor of hiding the past and pretending it never happened.
