It you hear the words "hard worker" and immediately assume "white" I suggest you examine your mind.

[Luminous Animal]

It is your own bigotry that substitutes "hard worker" with "white. The only Democratic politician in my lifetime that immediately equated "hard worker" with white people is Hillary Clinton.

And apparently, some of her supporters are on board with this bigotry. Apparently, when they hear the words, "hard worker", they think of white people.

For most liberals, leftists, Obama primary supporters; but, not some Hillary supporters, hard workers come from all walks of life.

4. I actually just ran "hard worker" by a few friends who are Dems online and also my family here

at the house. None of them have ever heard it referred to as a "dog whistle" or "code for white." I think this is grasping at straws, motivated by a little bit of fear over next week. Me? I'm excited to see what happens.

6. This DU Hillary supporters says it is dog whistle for white.

12. Recognizing a dog whistle doesn't mean someone is racist.

Your argument is "he who smelt it, dealt it."

14. Where in god's name amongst Dems does hard working people mean white people

except when it comes from Hillary's lips.

15. He talked about demographics supporting Sanders

he rattled off young people, independents, and then people who work hard.

Implication being that the lazy demographic groups are for the other candidate.

Real head scratcher there.

7. The poor work hard and then they die.

8. The Hillary supporter who is trying to

push this racist drivel is not typical fringe. Most Hillary supporters would not suggest that addressing a crowd as "hard workers" means white workers only.

Tim Robbins was addressing a crowd of 28,000 people. Many were black, many were brown, many were white.

I don't know what this bizarre suggestion means, but I think even most Hillary supporters will reject this.

It's just stupid.

9. Clinton supporters have said they think the Clintons work hard for their $500,000 per hour

speeches. They insult those workers like welders and sandblasters that are just getting by.

13. Indeed, some even said Hillary was underpaid.

And accused us of being sexist for mentioning it.

[Bonobo]

10. It's hilarious cause the ONLY reason they think it's a dog whistle is cause it was half of Hillary's

She said "hard-working Americans, White Americans" meaning precisely that White people are the hard workers.

In a bizarre twist, Hill fans remember only HALF of that dog-whistle and have somehow projected it upon Sanders, failing to remember that it was the comma separating those two phrases (as if the latter was a more precise definition of the former) that was the real offense.

They crack me the fuck up.

11. Recognizing code language doesn't mean one shares the prejudice on display.

Robbins previously sneered at voters in South Carolina and Guam.


I detect a trend.
