Lumping in Sanders with white privilege implies a belief that Jews are not an oppressed minority.

[redgreenandblue]

Sanders has been described as the "white male candidate" and some have gone as far as to invoke white supremacy. While Sanders has never made much of an issue of his Jewish roots during the campaign, they are not a secret either. This begs the question: Do Clinton supporters in general believe that discrimination of Jewish people is no longer an issue in the US?

1. Women are an oppressed majority.

And Im a Jewish woman.

[grossproffit]

23. Antisemitism has been ignored for far too long.

I've seen some disgusting posts on this forum as well. It sickens me.

[JaneyVee]

24. Sexism and misogyny as well.

[grossproffit]

26. Sadly, that's a gimme.

Of course, some say that there's no sexism or misogyny here against Clinton. I've even seen her referred to as Mrs. Bill Clinton. FFS! No sexism there...

31. Bigtime

[hereforthevoting]

2. I feel there is a lot of classism as well

And no secret that discrimination extends to the polls.

5. I don't think its "allegedly" anymore.

It's pretty well documented. The rest of your post is equal parts shit, bullshit and bigotry.

[actslikeacarrot]

10. WOW. You are one "those" people!

A genuine holocaust denier! Wonders never fucking cease. Evidence is well documented. You just dismiss it because you don't want to believe it. Because you hate Jews.

7. Allegedly did to Jews? You're a liar and anti-semite. n/t

[actslikeacarrot]

12. Good to see you admitting ...

...that you hate Jews. Have fun voting for trump!

[Bluenorthwest]

13. That is incorrect:

an·ti-Sem·i·tism
noun: hostility to or prejudice against Jews.

[Jefferson23]

14. BULLSHIT. Your statements are abundantly clear you're hateful anti-semite. n/t

[grossproffit]

22. I'm so glad I missed that post.

[Jefferson23]

30. It was full throttle disgusting. n/t

9. Take your bigotry and bullshit pack it in your rucksack and go a wandering.....

More of what I'm starting to see as DU Classic Antisemitism.

[yuiyoshida]

18. Mirt jump on that one so fast!

Thank You Mirt!!

[Bluenorthwest]

8. But that's vorbotten to speak of. DU's Bernie Bashers have an ongoing history of open antisemitism

but even after the first PPR that clearly said so, his critics have affected great offense that anyone would even suggest such a thing. But the parade of vile anti Jewish verbiage has continued. It has not been opposed and it seems to be nurtured by DU itself.

I'm not very comfortable on DU these days, with the Reagans as heroes and antisemitic verbiage being treated as some cute personal quirk.

16. He's lumped in with white privilege because of his supporters

Who are overwhelmingly white and and a majority of whom are not poor. Class is a defining characteristic of white privilege. I'm a Bernie supporter, myself. I fit right in with that demographic. I am, however, not male. I will say that it distresses me that too many of my fellow supporters react to this with defense rather than introspection. It's a shame and only reinforces the impression that the movement is about white privilege. Your OP will do no one any favors.

[randome]

17. I think Sanders could have been elected 'despite' his Jewishness.

He doesn't make it an issue and so I don't think the voters would have, either. But he has numerous other problems that prevent him from being the front-runner: a lack of coalition-building, being a Democratic Party-come lately, his over-reliance on income inequality (an important issue but not the only one.)

19. That is because some here will say ANYTHING to win. Two or three days after he announced he

was the target of one of the ugliest hit pieces imaginable on DU.

[grossproffit]

21. I abhor antisemites. I wish that Bernie Sanders would have addressed antisemitism.

It's a missed opportunity, in my opinion.

[stevenleser]

25. Nope, it has nothing to do with it. Oppressed groups can oppress other groups. Not having one kind

of privilege doesn't imply that you automatically don't have other kinds of privilege.

[frazzled]

27. As a Jew, I must disagree

Yes we are a minority, yes pockets of discrimination still exist. But in America of 2016 we are hardly "oppressed."

I was taught about my white privilege way back in the early 1960s, when the rabbi of our congregation returned from Selma (he was one of the clergy selected to surround Dr. King during the march). He spoke to us kids about racism, and told us that no matter what kinds of discrimination we still faced as Jews (there was still some redlining of housing and job discrimination in our city), that we were still privileged because our faces were white. He asked us to imagine what it was like to have a black face, where people judged you before they even began to know who you were. I've never forgotten that little talk.

If I had to measure the discrimination I've felt during my life, I'd definitely say that being a woman has had far more repercussions than being a Jew ... by a long shot.

28. There ain't nothing more white bread than Hillary Clinton. So, maybe this is republicon DTs?

I mean, Hillary supporters wouldn't be bigots would they?

[gollygee]

29. When I've heard people say that, it has been more about his supporters

In that you have to have a certain amount of privilege to say you won't vote for whoever the Demcratic candidate is, because women and people of color are at greater risk of bad Supreme Court nominees. But that would be true for supporters of either candidate who would refuse to vote for the other one in the general election.
