The Republicans are going to do this. It's what they do. And with the recent insurgent candidacy of Trump and the stalwarts like Ted Cruz - it's not going to change.
This has been going on since I was 3 years old (1976) and it will not change until the racial make up of the country changes.

(31,896 posts)Supporters would like to see me in a field picking cotton like Trump's do. The Trumpsters want to seize my home, possessions and wealth and give it to some bigot with a chip on his shoulder.
Trump has started his GE Campaign -
All of my acrimony goes to the Right because if you are a black person - they are out to cut the tall trees. BLM and as a people we need to not be Tutsis about this.
If you don't understand the language I've used - it's because they aren't coming after you whether he wins or loses. The Trumpsters are as dangerous as the brown shirts. Some Sanders millennial or HRC feminist boomer poses no threat to my life. Let them duke it out amongst each other -
We've got real problems in black America and it's 40 years of welfare queen memes, Republicans laughing about black people killing each other over crack turf wars in the 80's and 90's, and now Trump convincing them they have the right to things they didn't work for so if they eliminate "those people" or send them back to the fields they can have that.
Neither Bernie Sanders nor Hillary Clinton are selling racism and genocide. So keep up your arguing a amongst yourselves. You aren't my enemies.

I don't think that is a Sanders supporter - do you?
