Explosion of Support Groups For Bernie Among Minorities Across Social Media.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251419556

Very exciting to see how, once the word about Bernie gets out, people are taking matters into their own hands and organizing to help others learn about his campaign.

All the 'concern' about AAs appears to be unfounded as groups are now forming to get the word out to ALL AMERICANS that a political revolution is necessary and giving people the information they need to participate.

See the above link for more info.

has always had from minorities so I simply ignore the attempts to fiegn 'concern' over something that ends up looking more like an insult to the AA community especially than anything else, and can only harm their own candidate. But I'm only interested in Bernie's campaign, not going to bother even commenting in such threads.

There is so much that is positive for Bernie and the PEOPLE right now, that it's a waste of time to get bogged down in any kind of negative garbage.

Let them sink, if possible. Bernie's record speaks for itself. With the same sort of 'concern' posts popping up every day, sometimes twice a day, since he officially kicked off his campaign, it seems as if they are posted for at least two reasons: first, to get the idea that Bernie doesn't care about minorities out there in search engine results, and two, to have a way to show us Bernie supporters as 'intolerant of criticism about him' when supporters rightly object and 'who wants to be associated with those mean people?'

not a single other candidate in this election, and hard to find among elected Dems either, other than a few, Barbara Lee eg.

You don't NEED to defend him from these Rovian tactics, you just need to keep posting the FACTS. And yes, I don't know why people bother going into those threads, their objective is so obvious. Let them sink, no point in trying to argue with 'talking points'.
