Number23 is not white. OnPatrol is not white. Istronglbackman and JAG are not white. The core posters of the African American group are not white. There are threads on the subject there, none of which accuse Sanders of being racist. NONE. There are two general arguments: Number23's and Onpatrol's critique of both candidates, asking what they will do for black lives. Then there are arguments talking about white privilege and thinly veiled racism by some DUers here, not Sanders. You seem determined to miss the point. I'm not sure why you have decided not to read their posts or the threads in that group. However, your point that only two white posters care about issues of diversity is shown false by those threads.
BigTree explained the questions related to Sanders and the other candidates extremely well. I suggest you read his GD thread. My understanding is that he is also African American.
I do nothing for civil rights. I have gone to demonstrations, taught courses, written grants and secured money for organizations that engage om outreach for communities of color, but I don't claim that to amount to doing anything for civil rights. The only thing I do is listen to what people of color I know say rather than telling them to shut up. You apparently prefer people who claim corporations have planted people of color and women in the party to subvert it from its true cause who post reactionary articles against diversity and use click bait claiming it to be about Sanders, when in fact it doesn't deal with the election at all. That of course is your right.
