I try not to hold all the arrogant, ignorant posts that are pro-Sanders actually against Sanders. I figure there are ignorant fools who support every candidate. But man oh man. I just can no longer ignore the blindness to racial matters that these so-called liberals keep demonstrating over and over again. I've tried telling them a hundred times that I'm sick of hearing 'economic justice includes racial justice.' I've tried telling them a hundred times that racial matters can be separate from economic matters. I think I've mentioned a dozen times that merely quoting MLK or Malcolm X on economics doesn't mean they weren't first and foremost about racial equality, and that there are many other black writers since then, apart from Cornell West. I've tried telling them a thousand times that President Obama is the best President in my lifetime and that the attacks on him are ignorant at best, downright nasty at worst. Sometimes I think they are all trolls, trying to make the Sanders campaign look racially ignorant. But a lot of them were posting bullshit about the President long before the Sanders campaign. I don't know. Trolls against democrats? I just don't know. I'm undecided for now. It feels better. I want to see a candidate who most strongly understands and supports black lives matter. Frankly I think that's going to happen most locally and at State levels.
Meanwhile I am so fed up with arrogant tone deaf white self-described 'liberals' who are paternalistic fools that I just feel like posting here for a while.
