I am white, married to a black man...we went to a bookstore, as I was looking for one of my favorite authors, Dorothy Parker, but the owner stalked my husband who was there cause I was there!

Needless to say, I purchased the book at a different store!

We now have to apply to identify as our gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, etc when we come out in support of Bernie. If we don't get certified we don't count - we get put into the default 'BernieBro' category.

Seriously, wtf is wrong with people?

About a DUer who contacted me demanding to know what kind of black person I am because I did not fall for ghettogate outrage du jour. I am the kind of black who is not intimidated by bullies.

Some folks here seem to spend all of their time smearing Bernie, they hate him and his supporters so much it's disturbing.

And if you fight back you're a target, alert stalked, harassed and threatened.

Good for you, I'm not intimidated by bullies either.
