An open letter to Skinner (POSTED IN THE AFRICAN AMERICAN FORUM)

140. It seems like a simple case of misinterpretation

I think many on here that get a jury notice want to resolve it as soon as possible as to not be the juror that everyone is waiting for. Thus some do not go back and read the context and only react to the actual words they see first. And the N word, spelled out, is a big no no.

The fact that you blame Bernie supporters is telling. How do you know? It could be anyone who simply over-reacted to seeing THAT word. And/or disagreed with the need for it being repeated in the response. Why do you turn it into a Hillary/Bernie issue? You do know that Bernie also has many many AA supporters as well don't you?

I also find this whole...the other side must be being mean and vindictive just for the sake of being mean and vindictive, appallingly juvenile and distastefully defensive. The Hillary supporters have become increasingly the minority its true. Did you ever think it may be because the more people get to know Sanders, the more they see something they like? (including within the AA community) I recall those heady days when Hillary was cruising along as the heir apparent and the arrogance towards other candidates supporters was palatable. We, Bernie supporters braced ourselves and hung in there then. Do a few go over the line? Yes...on both sides. But to conflate a misunderstood hiding because of a racial slur on some conspiracy by Bernie supporters is paranoid lunacy.
