Related: About this forumAbout That "All White Crowd" In NH Hillary Spoke To… Turns Out, Not So Much!
I was curious and went to CSPAN and found the NH Town Hall meeting where someone is alleging there was an all white crowd. Only a few seconds in and I noted at least 3 people of color seated in one side of the crowd. Didn't bother to watch any further. It was that easy to debunk the bunk thread someone started here about this topic.
It's so annoying when DU'ers force me to defend Hillary Clinton. LOL!

R B Garr
(16,982 posts)right in calling that other thread bogus.
KittyWampus
(55,894 posts)Maybe you could watch the whole thing and do a real head count for us!
As I stated, I only checked out a few seconds.
But in reference to a thread started in this forum, my OP points out a blatant falsehood.

(16,982 posts)The larger point has always been how Bernie will extrapolate his appeal to a national level from his isolated existence in his safe, rural, small state.

(9,126 posts)Yup, three is enough! One time someone pointed to a fairly white humungo crowd in Portland for Obama and the response was he was black so that was enough. Seriously!

(24,544 posts)When that OP and the four jillion responses within show not only that old dude was NOT joking, but that he thought his post was an astute and witty response to the legitimate comments that have been putting forth about Bernie Sanders.
So let the backtracking begin!
R B Garr
(16,982 posts)population, they don't even realize they are agreeing that Bernie Sanders has not ever had to appeal to a diverse population. You have to laugh at them contradicting themselves and not noticing.
Number23
(24,544 posts)They're way too busy trying to pretend that other post was the one that was "the joke" and that Kitty is just misinterpreting some witty and clever repartee!
And this from the same crowd of folks that said -- and I am SERIOUSLY not joking -- that "of course Bernie knows about race. He marched with MLK!!" or even better....He's from BROOKLYN!11one"
But now they're all witty and sophisticated and worldly and knowledgeable and all of their racial cluelessness and broad lack of understanding is "just jokes!" now. Yeah. Okay.
KittyWampus
(55,894 posts)And I'm perfectly willing to be the clown here.
I might have missed the sarcasm
but I did take the time to check things out for myself.
So in that, I have no regrets or apologies to make.
Number23
(24,544 posts)out. And really thoroughly too.
So it would seem to me that if anyone "missed" something, it's the people pretending that thread wasn't serious or mocking you for trying to counter it.
I think this whole thing is a blight on this web site, and think "counting" brown faces in crowds is stupid. But for some people, this is more about "scoring points" with the mouth breathers here than about giving the first shit about poc. And at least I can appreciate the honesty behind that, if nothing else.
I don't think for a second that you would be the one that owes anyone an apology.
R B Garr
(16,982 posts)anti-intellectualism at its finest, which is as right-wing as it gets.
This thread can be deleted if they want to let it go, but I won't kick it anymore either.

(30,481 posts)Hillary feels comfortable in any setting in any state. That should be our take away. She isn't tailored for a single constituency. The only people who aren't seeing that don't want to. It is very recognized in the polls.
