Related: About this forumPSA: People are spreading a photo of NOT BERNIE marching with MLK
Some people are either accidentally or deliberately spreading a photo of a young man with glasses standing behind MLK and it's labeled as Bernie.
Please everyone be aware and do not help spread inaccurate pictures. Not every white dude with glasses in the 60s was Bernie.
There are enough photos and even video record of Bernie's real civil rights leadership with CORE in Chicago. Use those.
If we spread a wrong photo obviously it will be used against us politically. More importantly we should just be honest. If you see it please help contain the damage. I'm not sure how.

It's a Karl Rove con or a student of his. This is the fucking Dan Rather scam.

I see how maybe someone can make an honest mistake on this. But as Bernie supporters it will be our responsibility to tell the truth on this and not let people believe a wrong photo label.
Yes it could be opponents planting a mislabeled photo so later they can say we lied.
Or it could be an honest mistake?

coming from Camp Weathervane.

We will not help things by spreading inaccurate info. And frankly won't help by lashing out at black leaders who support Hillary. Take a deep breath and think.

That's disappointing.
