You're walking into a minefield, and the danger of whitesplaining is strong. Tread carefully. I think we should all learn from our early reaction to Black Lives Matter, when a lot of us, myself included, fell into the "But he marched with Dr King!" trap. I hope all Bernie supporters can now agree that this was not our finest hour.
