In reply to the discussion: Harrop: The intolerance of Bernie Sanders [View all]appalachiablue
(41,184 posts)A bit ago I had the misfortune of being around when her 1st hit piece on Bernie is a white liberal racist was posted late one night. That's was some bizarre stuff and challenging w/o this kind of background info.
One poster Told me that friends who went to small towns and the country from the suburbs and cities were part of 'white flight' which was real strange since many of them were Asian, black and other heritages.
Also how they were fleeing problems of 'urban black drugs, crime and gangs' which were nonexistent in their areas. Nothing like stereotyping and fabricating. Most of all the people only wanted a quieter, earthy life. But I must say there's nothing like someone telling you what your friends' intentions were decades ago. That thread became a mini ordeal that I don't wish to encounter again if possible.
