It appears "Minorities don't support Bernie" is now turning into something racist in its own right.

[redgreenandblue]

Jews, Asians, Arabs, Native Americans and Hispanics are now no longer "real" minorities it seems. At least not the kind of minorities that "matter".

[Trust Buster]

1. Did you see Hillary's Hispanic totals in Texas and Arizona ?

She also won the Indian demographic in Arizona. You seem to be projecting something onto us that is not accurate which kind of turns your OP right back at you.

5. I can link you to many posts in which Oklahoma is called 'homogenous and mostly white' by Hillary

supporters when in fact OK is less white than Illinois, Texas or the United States. OK has the largest Native American population in the 50 continental States and it has more African Americans by percentage than does California.

Hawaii is the least white of all States, Bernie won it big. AK has the largest Native population Bernie won big.

Facts exist.

11. There are a lot of people from India in AZ?

Who knew!







(FYI, the non-racist identifier your looking for is
Native Americans)

13. That's gonna leave a mark

And think you for calling them out for something that immediately came to mind as I read it.

2. One of the best moments of Bernie`s speech Saturday night

was when he spoke about the long-ignored plight of Native Americans.

3. I saw it as race baiting from the word go

12. One of the first and possibly most disgusting tactics they pushed this primary

And it's just devolved from there. Treating POCs like yourself and others poorly for not being the "firewall" they expected/demanded was an especially low point.

14. Sadly not unexpected

Given the bullying over more than a decade. It is the exact same crowd

[riderinthestorm]

15. Interesting the loudest voice here saying Sanders is racist

is outed as a raging anti-Semite against the Jewish candidate.

I've seen you mention the whiff of anti-Semitism you've noticed in this campaign and you've always been shouted down here.

You really have had a decade of bullying but imo it was just given a boatload of tacit acceptance once Bernie Sanders got in the race and it could be masked as accusations of racism against him.

[nadinbrzezinski]

16. Yup

and some of my fans are like puppies these days. They try to get a raise out of me, and all they get is raucous laughter.

I kind of feel sorry for them at this point. What is a bully to do when the mark find them hysterical, background noise and just part of the furniture?

4. Race baiting is racist.

[Bluenorthwest]

6. A good measure of full throated animostity to some of those minority groups has been expressed by

the same people pushing the anti Bernie tropes.....we are supposed to pretend that's not a well known fact but I do not play that closet game for anyone. A bigot is a bigot.

7. I have noticed that. Divide and conquer is not a good plan.

[BillZBubb]

8. It always has been from the get go. It's a typical Clinton racially divisive tactic.

She's got her supporters pushing it to the hilt. Here on DU, some of her supporters have used it to accuse those disputing the strategy of being racists.

But the racism is coming from Hillary's side as usual. She tried to play the other side in 2008. That didn't work so she switched for this go around. Naturally the Hillary supporters lap it up.

10. Not to mention the significant (and growing?) percentage of black voters who *are* choosing Sanders

Last edited Sun Mar 27, 2016, 01:22 PM - Edit history (1)

I've asked here a few times why it is so easy for people to disregard those hundreds of thousands** of black voters while they're busy accusing Sanders and/or his supporters of disregarding black votes. Haven't gotten much of an answer yet.

(**I'm guessing we're into the hundreds of thousands on this by now- I did the math once, several weeks ago, and it was well into the tens of thousands of black voters who picked Bernie based on info available. I don't feel like researching and doing the math today but I don't think I am wrong, and if I am, just correct it to 'tens of thousands' - either way, it doesn't change my point).

17. It's always been race-baiting.

Just one of the long line of Clinton dirty and cheating campaign tactics. It's how they roll.

[Odin2005]

18. Only black votes matter, apparently.
