2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Bernie Supporters - Please read my post [View all]heaven05
(18,124 posts)yet, with BS supporters in general, I feel, you're wasting valuable gray matter on the ones who purposefully want to remain dumb and blind of who are of such a number and opinion of POC that my acquaintances and associates who have read some of their comments have defaulted to the other candidate. That number is growing everyday. I've noticed that since Discussionist site/forum was started this side of DU has become a lot less civil with the RW "scrum" that has drifted over here. And yes I am going to give back what is received in insult, white anger and whining about them having privilege that others don't and have never had and it being pointed out consistently as is their outright racism. Discussionist brought a lot of these types here. I feel this is who you are addressing and who are part of a large gang of BS supporters.
I love your post. It is a real human attempt at reaching the ones who are either uninformed thusly unconcerned about issues that affect POC or really just have never given a damn nor will they ever and no amount of truth, logic, reason or emotion will change them. The latter is usually the case with detractors of #BlackLivesMatter activists among BS supporters.
I respect your attempt it is honorable and shows true integrity and principle. Something a lot of whom you are addressing will never get because they have none themselves.
