(31,849 posts)point to a single post stating Bernie hasn't done anything for Black people or that he doesn't care about people of color. {I know ... I know ... it's implied}
But the dialogue really goes more like this:
Person A: "Bernie is missing me because of his focus on econopmics over the issues that are most important to me."
Person B: "Yes he has ... He marched with Martin and economic justice is in your best interest."
Person A: "Granted he marched and he has voted right on some bills, but his campaign's focus on economics concerns me."
Person B: "Why are you saying Bernie hasn't done anything for Black people or that he doesn't care about people of color? He marched with Martin and voted right on some bills all his life!"
Person A: "Okay, what about my economic primacy concern?"
Person B: "I told you! Economic justice is best for you!"
Person A: "Why are you dismissing my concerns?"
Person B: "Don't call me a racist!"
Person A: "I didn't!"
Person B: "Yes you did ... you implied it."
