In reply to the discussion: I saw something pretty entertaining in the Bernie Group ... [View all]1StrongBlackMan
(31,849 posts)27. Well ...
i would say one difference is in the black people themselves the ones supporting sanders still support the democratic party and will support whoever the dem nominee is.
I don't know ... two of the most "enthusiastic" (self-identifying) Black DUers ... the one's running to rec, any thread of any Bernie supporter posting anything that a Black person says, that is mildly indicative of supporting Bernie and defending the white person's right to post such threads ... have both said that while they may (have) vote(d) Democratic, they don't consider themselves Democratic AND they will not be voting (for President) if Bernie isn't the nominee.
But I will agree that that was an unfair assessment for most Black Bernie supporters.
