Now what I am about to say is an observation. But when I hear an African American surrogate stump for Clinton it's a take down on Bernie Sanders.. But when I hear an African American surrogate stump for Sanders they are talking to our people about the issues at hand and how Sanders embodies those issues.. So Mayor Reed..Bernie may not be nothing special to you but what he is saying is special to our people...‪#?letsnotdothis‬ ‪#?Feelthebern

THIS Is what is so apparent to me and what I hope becomes apparent to more people soon.

1. Same thing here on DU.

[SheenaR]

2. You should send this via

DU mail to the brave soul that hammers Bernie re: POC day and night. Has many threads up now.

Not that they actually want the facts that they ask for

[frylock]

4. They just want attention and enjoy the celebrity victim status that they're given here.

[Maedhros]

6. That person just wants to insult and antagonize people.

It's why they are on so many ignore lists (including mine).

[enigmatic]

8. They are trolling

They've admitted it. More than once.

10. Not worth your effort, accept it for what it is, performance art.

Have a look at reply 5.

12. Lol

Wow. Thank you for posting that

3. Hillary represents the dark side, Bernie the light.

[Lucky Luciano]

11. Hillary is more like purgatory to me.

Not bad as the generic politician goes and she even has some strong positives.

Cruz? THAT is truly the dark side.

I like Reich's characterization. Something along the lines that Hillary is the best candidate for the system we have - but Bernie is the best candidate for the system we should have. Bang on to me.

[Cheese Sandwich]

5. Team Hillary is doing a hatchet job on Bernie AND his policies

They are taking a crap on progressive goals like expanding Medicare and Social Security.

Big mistake. They are hurting a lot of people's feelings by doing unfair attacks and outright lies. This is going to come back to bite them in the ass.

7. Nobody in the DLC ever cared about getting rural AA voters to the polls.

Hell, if it was up to the Third Way crowd, Atlanta still wouldn't have elected an AA mayor yet. They'd be saying it was enough to get a white centrist in there.

[m-lekktor]

9. The Hillary campaign is milking this issue for all it's worth. The AA community is being used.

They are too obvious, they must think people are stupid.

[Nanjeanne]

13. I just keep hoping more and more people like this speak out

although they will never get the media attention or time on the 24/7 cable shows unfortunately.

One hopes they are talking to in their communities and spreading the truth. I love that he specifically called out Mayor Reed!
