The "mockery" you received in that other thread accomplished exactly what it was supposed to then.
This forum is in absolute shambles this morning. Folks are really showing their true colors and I don't think that anyone with melanin is the slightest bit surprised about the thick coating of BS that is blanketing GD/P right now as certain individuals break their fingers trying to pretend that Sanders' appearance was somehow a good thing and that the unruly colored folks in BLM are the real enemy.
NONE of any of this is a surprise to anyone with a clue and who's not been trying to pretend that the writing on the wall hasn't been there for some time.
