19. It's "awful" to point out
Wed Sep 30, 2015, 12:00 AM

that many of the same anonymous nobodies who've been polluting these forums by insinuating that Bernie Sanders is a racist are the same anonymous nobodies who, prior to the primary, never really spent too much time on these forums very concerned about AA issues?

That's awful? Holy cow.
