Bernie's campaign has never asked famous POC supporters to do dirty politics on its behalf.

The Sanders campaign treat the freedom giants who support it...like Harry Belafonte and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, to name just two..with respect. It lets those giants use the campaign's bully pulpit to inspire and carry on the fight for their dreams.

Nothing but positive campaigning is expected from such heroes in THIS campaign.

Maybe some people are having a hard time believing these people are less than perfect. But what they should be doing is looking at the one constant that is the root cause of all this nastiness, and then voting against her.
