What really bothers me is the number of long-time DU posters who are blind to the racism in WillyT's posts. Hell, I grew up in the small town South and it was a fucking bullhorn to me! Yes, he didn't use the N-word or other epithets or cite trash science about African-Americans, but WTF, saying ALL African-Americans have "Stockholm Syndrome" if they don't support Sanders ?

Saw an article that painted Bernie as a tool of the democrats that herds the liberal sheeple.
