And two of them immediately show up to prove your point!

Amen.
Literally taking a moment of joy right now at the fact that no one has actually managed to shoot President Obama. I remember being terrified for him on election night, on Inauguration Day...
Such a racist and sexist viewpoint to think that these women can’t make their own choices.
Jordan Davis’ mom has been EXTREMELY active in using her son’s death to raise awareness of Stand Your Ground laws, racism, and guns. But I guess you don’t know that because you haven’t educated yourself. You just see a black…
I remember being terrified when Obama stepped out of his bulletproof car to walk alongside on Inauguration Day.
And people wonder why Democrats won’t fucking VOTE. Disillusionment much, politics?
Or, OR Fulton and McBath are adults and are chosing to support a candidate based on their experiences.
Are you kidding me? First of all, those women have agency, they chose to speak up and endorse someone. I’m going to be voting for whoever gets the democratic nomination, and I just sincerely hope your Drumpf reasoning is a joke.
How do you feel about Eric Garners daughter stumping for Bernie? Or is recruiting those affected by violence only ok when it’s the candidate you like?
Or maybe these mothers (like the mothers of the dead children of Newtown, CT) are trying to change our sick world and know that working with lawmakers is a way to bring attention to their plight?
Same with sexism. He didn't even have a racial justice or women's rights section on his website until he got interrupted by Black Lives Matter at that one speech.
The Killer Mike interviews with Sanders at the barber shop are some of the clearest, non-jargony interviews I’ve ever seen a politician do anywhere. It was pretty amazing.
I’ve found some Bernie supports talk down to the African American community. It’s interesting to see where some of the Bernie supporters are getting it from.
I look forward to BernieBros explanation of why the moms of Trayvon Martin and Jordan Davis just don’t understand what is in their own best interest, and just unaware of how wrong their opinions are
I’m a Bernie supporter and I cringed at his answer to the racial blind spot question. I think I understand what he was trying to get at, that our society is incredibly racially segregated and institutional racism makes it harder if you’re a poor person of color vs a poor white person, but man he has got to get a…
I thought Bernie did a lot wrong (and some things right) during the last debate, but can we move past the idea for both candidates that an unfortunate word choice (and in Hillary’s case a choice from 20-plus years ago) is anything more than that? Both want to make things better for minorities of all kinds - the other…
I voted for Sanders, but he has no one to blame but himself for this gaffe. Like DeRay Mckesson said, the line about poverty and ghettos really detracted from a decent point about the white privilege of seeing police as protectors not terrorizers.
This gun stuff gives me hope. In ten years that should be a litmus test for a Democratic candidate - not half-assed measures like background checks (hey, how did that work out in San Bernardino and Wichita?), but support for banning, buybacks and confiscation. With any luck, Dem can lean on the urban areas of VA and…
Oh God, here comes the “why don’t black people know what’s good for them” brigade.
Trayvon Martin didn’t live in any ghetto. His dad lived in a gated community in Florida with armed security.
