In reply to the discussion: Stop 3/5ing the vote of the AA community. [View all]Nuclear Unicorn
(19,497 posts)are voting against their best interests by voting for the GOP. Yet, no one claims that is reducing rural and lower class white to less than human status.
Noting that the African American community may not be familiar with Sanders history with the civil rights movement and that the policies that Hillary has supported over the years is not reducing them to 3/5, lesser-person, returned-to-the-chains-of-slavery status. And no one is saying it's their fault for not knowing; it's just a fact he isn't know much outside the state he represents.
If this is the rhetoric you guys want to traffic in enjoy your general election campaign all by yourselves.
Call me a racist in one breath and plead with me to be on your side the next? Sorry, I require a bit more integrity for my vote. Maybe you're not done with me but I'm done with anyone who would play such despicable games and I won't align with people who would accept a racist's vote -- because I find racism to be so detestable.
