(34,648 posts)scrutiny goes against our black senators while the white ones get a pass. I dont see a bajillion threads about the rest of the no votes. I only see them about the one black guy in the bunch.
I seriously think that people dont even notice when they do it.
But they need to. Especially on the left.
The same shit happened when John Lewis said he 'did not see Bernie' at the marches he attended. A bunch of threads went up all over the internet from leftists bashing a great black civil rights leader for daring to not give Bernie undue credit.
Black folks always get less credit and more 'tough love' and opposition and 'holding their feet to the fire' that anybody else in America. Have some sensitivity when coming up in the aa group to complain about black democrats on a site for democrats.
I honestly am quite done with the white progressive left after how we have been treated by them this past couple of years and will not let it pass in this here group. People barge right up in here to whine to the group of folks who have much more to complain about than they ever ever ever could possibly have to be angry or frustrated about. Coming to a black group to complain about a black man not doing what you want is as ridiculous as me going to a paraplegic convention to whine that my foot hurts.
