There are a lot of issues in this country which need to be fixed (especially in the black community). To do this we need to get as many people as possible on board. Race should never be used a political tool.
To call someone a racist that you don't even know is unbelievable. There are racists that support Democrats and Republicans. To accuse unknown individuals of racism does NOTHING to heal this nation or move it forward. And when real incidences of racism occur that need to be addressed, people won't be so inclined to believe them. It's the same with the way Clinton has used sexism to try to score political points.
Note: And all of the Bernie supporters I know that are "real" Bernie supporters would also think these kind of actions are not okay.
