It is not a place for Sander Supporters artislife Oct 2015 #98

That's what the Hillary supporters said. delrem Oct 2015 #99

KeepItReal explained that he was African American. delrem Oct 2015 #101

I hadn't been in to the AA group artislife Oct 2015 #102

That's irrelevant to KeepItReal's OP, and his treatment. delrem Oct 2015 #103

I agree with this statement artislife Oct 2015 #104

I wasn't talking about the AA group "as such" or per se. delrem Oct 2015 #105
