Bernie Sanders: White People Uncomfortable About Voting for Black Candidates Not Necessarily Racist
- Thread starter excelsiorlef
- Start date
Vermont is 94.9% white and he's been winning elections there for 50 years.
User Banned (Permanent): Racism. Prior history of similar behavior.
I was making a comparison and the first thing to mind is someone's fear of dogs. I know someone who loves dogs but is genuinely afraid of them after one bit her a child. Just because you can't comprehend a comparison doesn't mean you need to be a dickhead and build yourself a moral high ground.
rac·ism
/ˈrāˌsizəm/
noun
- prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior
/ˈprejədəs/
noun
- preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience
It's amazing how when Hillary comes out and makes what should be non-controversial statement like, Trump is bad, people angrily tell her to go away and disappear forever. Bernie says shit like this and people are fucking excusing it.

You honestly need to stop comparing not liking black people in power to not liking dogs. It don't come off great mate.
Uncomfortable is needing to take a desperate dump in someone else's house. This is protecting RACISM.
Oh yeah you can make anything look bad if you take time. I can say Snow White promotes fascism because it was Adolf Hitler's favorite film.
This thread is like over half "Bernie needs to go away and disappear forever."
a lot of Mr. Weeks-adjacent takes on what Jewish identity is itt
It's an ethnicity, not just a religion, even if most Jews are white and read as such

Amazing how many Bernie Bros are showing their true colors in this thread.
My God, and the old fart wants to run again in 2020. We're fucked...

I'm not even going to touch that... analogy.
However, being afraid of a black people because they are black, that's racist.
I'm just assuming you didn't think your post /position through very well.

Ethnicity: 73.2% White; 5.9% Black; 3.1% Asian; 15.6% Hispanic; 0.1% Native American; 2.1% other
A lot of first for them to be getting killed
And we still lost Senate seats.
So here's what you need to come to grips with-
Sens. Joe Donnelly of Indiana, Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota and Claire McCaskill of Missouri all lost their seats to Republicans who campaigned as Trump allies. Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.), is hanging to hopes of a recount turning things around.
What do you tell the racists of Indiana, North Dakota, Missouri, and Florida to get those seats back that hasn't been already said a million times on network television, Twitter, ERA, Huffington Post, etc. Because here's the thing: those seats are gone for the next SIX YEARS. What do you tell them to get their votes in 2020 to win the presidency?
Because quite frankly, progressives don't have the votes ourselves. It was proven that through all our yelling and screaming and protesting and people getting killed in streets of Charlottesville and the bombs sent out to Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, etc that there was no blue wave. You're going to have to reach across the aisle and get some racists to come and vote for our agenda. And if all that takes is not to call them racist, is that worth proper health care, proper gun control, etc.
The bottom line is this: If we're going take back the Senate and the Presidency, we're going to need the vote of racists. The 2016 Donald Trump election and the 2018 Senate losses have all proven that much. Otherwise, where are you getting the votes from Slayven?
It was done on purpose. Racist fuckboys always have to sling their shit while acting stupid.
CNN falling eagerly into Trumps bullshit and having nonstop "oh no the scary Caravan" coverage 24 hours a day for two weeks straight before the election.
Thats never been the issue, and folks need to stop pretending it is. And are you a progressive if you have a hard limit at recognizing black people as human?
Get your house in order? The numbers are there to tell who voted for what.
it's bad politics to call large swaths of the electorate racist (even when it's obviously true), but that doesn't mean doing the opposite is okay
It's the issue for me and it's the issue for the people defending Bernie on this. Bernie is smart enough to know we need the votes of racist snowflakes. Is it worth it to lose the Senate and Presidency by not coddling some 200,000 racists in the hopes they come around and vote for our progressive agenda? Because that's how many votes we need to secure power.
Doesn't work for me. I don't see minorities selling my rights (as a white male) down the river to get something. I'm not willing to do that to them.
Bernie said it was ok because maybe they will get better. That is where the gut punch is, he empathizes more with racist then their victi,s
So minorities should shut up and suffer for the good of the country? That worked out well in 1776 for us
But you still have people excusing his behavior and wanting him to run.... and this is a fucking crazy comment waving away racism.
