If you really want to know whose supporters are the most racist and divisive |
|
just look at how Tavis Smiley, Maya Angelou, John Lewis, Charlie Rangel and some other prominent blacks were demonized for supporting Hillary Clinton in the beginning of the campaign.
This is where the divisiveness started and largely with Jesse Jackson Jr. and some members of the Black Caucus.

21. Well, it's either the fault of the Hillary blacks, the Obama blacks, or the CBC. |
|
Whatever the reason, it's definitely the fault of blacks somewhere.

8. You're missing the other side of the argument |
|
of women being labeled as going against the "sisterhood" for supporting Obama. We've all seen it.
I'm not saying that you're wrong, but there's another half to the argument.

When was Charlie Rangel demonized? There is so much more to the Tavis Smiley story that you are not being honest about.

|
I haven't seen anyone "demonized" at all, actually. I think some of the Hillary supporters have a persecution complex.

I would have stepped in also. These events didn't happen. I guess some of these folks are trying to show how much they've sacrificed and had to endure by supporting Hillary. They are not honest.
One of the reasons that John Lewis was pressured to change his vote is because his district voted for Obama but also because he originally came out in support of Obama. He was ready to endorse him but Lewis got a call from Bill and changed his support to Hillary.
Charlie Rangel ha said that he supporting her because she is from his state. People have enough sense to understand that this is politics.

Hillary has a funny way of showing her few remaining black supporters that she values them.

One of the things that has warmed my heart about this primary is seeing two very good candidates, one white, one black, both being supported by prominent black people. NOne of that "I can tell who's speaking just by looking at the crowd standing on stage behind them" bullshit.
How the hell are you going to name a half-dozen prominent black supporters for the white person and then claim it's proof that blacks are the most racist?
LOL!
I'm lovin' it!
