(53,137 posts)You made a patently false claim about me and about the posters who have raised the issue. You insisted two white posters, and now me, have called Sanders racist. I have not called Sanders racist, and I haven't seen anyone else do it. I have seen African American posters raise concerns about him AND other candidates. None of my points are deflection. They respond directly to your allegations.
Tell me one phrase in my OP that amounts to calling Sanders racist. One?
You resent I talk about a clear attitude that Sanders not be questioned. Fine. That is not calling Sanders racist. That is criticism of some DUers' hostility toward civic engagement, of holding a politician above the people he would represent. It doesn't approach calling Sanders racist, and it doesn't even count as criticism of him. I don't have any problem with Bernie Sanders. I think him far better than this project on DU being carried out in his name.
