2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: All this shit implying Sanders supporters are racists and sexists needs to stop. [View all]noiretextatique
(27,275 posts)44. I am an AA, and I have seen all manner of racist shit here since I joined in 2002
and i include some Sander's supporters in that. But...what has been happening in the AA forum in branding Sanders as ____ because of some of his dumb ass supporters is unfortunate, to say the least. Of course, the fact that most of them support Clinton is absolutely coincidental. And to suggest that some Clinton supporters are not racist is simply an outright lie. Not saying that you are doing that, but certainly some have implied as much.
