(5,272 posts)I'm not the victim. Neither is Bernie really. Progressive anti-corporate messaging is, as always.
There was a concerted Brock media push to paint Sanders voters as racists. Also, unfortunately, the narratives of Clinton surrogates lose something in translation, you must understand, no matter how much I respect them for their achievements or fights. Too many things were said during this campaign that called their neutrality on facts into question. That doesn't mean I wish to dispose of them under a bus, it means that they were very invested in a Clinton win, and that it was coloring their own version of the truth, and they were helping out a friend.
I do want to fix it, and I am sorry that you were the subject of that kind of harassment. When advocates of the black community say "lets do something about this" we need to listen. If that were all that was going on it would have been easier to do so, but you know that isn't all that was going on. The people I heard pinning this shit on Sanders was the media, and the cynical agenda was pretty transparent.
