(2,872 posts)I've held my tongue up till now, but every mention of AA voters putting in for Hillary-- the very next goddamn breath is either something something "low information voters", something something "name recognition", fucking-- "Stockholm Syndrome", fucking "Master/Slave relationship"-- it seems like the only time y'all give a damn about race, and this is as a Sanders supporter mind you-- the only time it seems y'all ever really give a damn about race is when it suits you. If that's not the case, please, enlighten me as to how it isn't, but when I see people claiming that part of my heritage, my people are part of some "confederacy" like we're still living in 18-fucking-64, that's where I have to get off the bus. You tar a VERY large demographic with a really fuckin' big brush, saying some shit like that, and if that's the cost of being a staunch supporter of Sanders, then count me off the bus.
Cause honestly, I'm in this for an end to interventionism. I'm in this for an end to discrimination. An end to corrupt oligarchic practice. But if it means part of who I am being denigrated for the actions of a few, y'all are no better than Jonestown.
