In reply to the discussion: A sober look at Sander's Greensboro, NC rally... [View all]romanic
(2,841 posts)338. LMAO @ "Count the Black People" posts
That's totally what some here are trying to convey when they make these kind of OPs to discredit the growing amount of support among minorities for Bernie. It's sad but funny at the same time.
