You aren’t even taking it to him very hard, just pointing out something tone deaf he said. A frequent Bernie issue.

I swear, his fans keep telling everyone else to “move on” from Hillary but every time he gets criticized, it’s “BUT HILLARY....”.

When the only photographic evidence of a white guy helping blacks is itself a black-and-white photo, that’s a red flag.

Point out that he was arrested once in Chicago and attended (he was not an honored guest or speaker) the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom before moving to...white ass Vermont and his stans lose their shit. He can fuck all the way off.

I don’t get what was so “great” about what he did.

Yeah, but what about her e-mails on that server in the basement of Memories Pizza?

There’s a wonderfully succinct line Liz Lemon drops on Jack* when he says something about appealing to real Americans:

If that’s so then why he does he consistently frame it like this? EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

It’s like he thinks reciting a list is all it takes — but don’t worry, “ordinary Americans,” you’re still his boo!

He also backed a pro-life democrat in Illinois. He sees women’s reproductive issues a bartering issue, when we know damn well that reproductive freedom is economic freedom and restrictive reproductive care will impact WOC more than white women. Fuck that shit Bernie Sanders

NOTES FROM THE GRAYS:

Can I add that this is a man who’s been in congress for nearly 30 years and hasn’t accomplished shit? His colleagues are always at a loss to point to any meaningful legislation that he’s contributed to (although he claims to have been instrumental in a lot of it). But sure, he’s “working for the people.” Fuck off.…

s.This! Not only condescending. But, yeah ok you were on the right side of history. But simply doing the right thing only gets you so many points.

I remember the time before the primaries’ results, on Tumblr, when posts kept popping up to remind the members that Bernie also marched for “the Blacks’” civil rights. To me... The posts felt soooooo condescending.

I’ve had this same exact scenario play out at me many, many times over the years, sometimes almost word for word what Cross did and let me tell you, it’s never, ever funny or appreciated. At this point, I’m not even offended by the fact someone thought that racism is cool as a joke. I’m just offended by how lazy the…

He shouldn’t apologize for “coming off as racist.” He should apologize for saying racist things.

But it doesn’t matter about his “kind of” humor. In this case, his “kind of” humor was flat out, no possible way to disagree about it, racist.

All he did was make an Asian comedian feel uncomfortable. Soooo subversive!!

Yessss, I love telling minorities how they should feel about racism. Now tell me that my getting upset at being called a fag while walking on the street is overblown now too.

As a corollary to that, ironic racism only works in a performance setting if the goal of the racist statement is to make the person saying it look bad (see Archer Bunker or the “It’S Always Sunny” gang). So unless David Cross was trying to make some point about white people or Southerners being assholes, which I…

And there you have the problem with “ironic racism.” You may be intending to make fun of “actual racists,” but to the person on the receiving end of your comments, it can be no different than if they’d gotten those same comments from an actual redneck. I mean, honestly, what is the difference? Whether you’re mocking…
