MR. Lombino didn't say nothing to MR. Skelton…

Actions speak louder than words…

It's not that you owe it to me to vote for Bernie. It's for you. The whole point is that right now you are willing to vote for someone who called you super predators and does not have your interests at heart, all to spite white people. It's stupid. Why should I care for your well-being when you don't even care for…

I'm not really whining about loss of privilege. I'm logically wondering why I should vote against my own best interests in favor of cooperating with a group who isn't interested in reciprocating?

That attitude of suspicion and spite right there is what ruins any chance of cooperation.

*Former* progressive. I've learned that it doesn't work if only one group is willing to cooperate.

Not at all. I'd much rather us all work together. People like the author of this article are the ones that are rejecting Bernie out of spite, in the same breath as admitting that his policies would be better for black people.

If people are insulting the intelligence of HRC supporters it's likely because they baldly profess that their issues with Bernie as a candidate are not logical, but based on vague feelings and associations. It's not intelligent to vote this way. That's called identity politics and it's not a positive thing for the…

No conservatives should not have a place in the progressive party, sorry.

It does seem a bit odd but I'd be voting with my racial solidarity instead of my morals. And by OUR primaries i am referring to our DEMOCRATIC primaries that are influenced by black conservatives who are too cowardly to vote REPUBLICAN like they should.

Those people were Republicans though. They weren't deciding who gets the Democratic nomination.

It's not logical, its tit for tat. It's what would happen if everyone was voting as spitefully as black HRC supporters. Also known as a race to the bottom.

I was referring to a quite specific subset of black people that we all know are out there.

White homophobes aren't supporting HRC and hurting Bernie's chances.

It's like Kendrick says, "f*ck your friendship I meant it." From my perspective white progressives are trying to work together and get stuff done and black people are rejecting us out of spite, to their own detrimate. HRC does not give 2 sh*ts about black people as more than a vote source.

Yeah let's talk about faux-allies. I'm a gay man, and f*ck all you blacks who secretly resent me and my lifestyle and say that my struggle for equal treatment is nothing like your own but insist on voting Democrat and messing with our primaries. You want the benefits of progressiveness for yourselves without doing…

How do you think I found this article? You think I'm reading verysmartbrothas on my own?

If Trump wins then you'll have a point. Otherwise I think the trend is more and more white people voting against their racial interests in favor of the greater good. This is especially true with younger voters.

That'll never change as long as you believe it. It's kind of a self fulfilling prophecy.

You misunderstand. Voting for the greater good inherently damages my privileges. It's nothing that black people are doing directly. It's my own choice, and I have made it my whole life because I feel that it's morally right for people to be treated equally. But obviously Black HRC supporters care more about…
