Insisting That Racism Be Addressed In It's Own Terms Is Not "Weaponizing" It.

If a candidate for a political office has spent 50 plus years talking almost entirely about economic issues as a panacea for society's ills with little individual focus on racial issues- that isn't 'weaponizing' it.

If a candidate's campaign was lacking outreach to minorities it isn't 'weaponizing' to critique that lack.

If a candidate's message fails to pointedly address racial issues in a way that resonates with minorities, it isn't 'weaponizing' to discuss that failure.

The only way to call it 'weaponizing' is if you are such a partisan of a particular candidate you can't tolerate any criticism no matter how valid.

Every Democratic candidate running for POTUS has strengths and weaknesses.

Bernie Sanders came into the race for POTUS with a weakness that was plainly visible on several levels.

Trying to pretend those weaknesses are the fault of those pointing them out just shows how deeply that weakness penetrates their candidate.
