Will AAs sit out the GE if Bernie wins the Primary?

Of course they won't.

And if Bernie is the nominee, will Clinton be a poor sport and not hit the stump?

Of course she won't.

So why the hell is it an issue that southern state AAs prefer Hillary? If Bernie wins the nomination, they'll come around (unless they want a Trump White House) right?

Of course they will...

I hope everyone votes for Bernie.

But, lots of democrats are angry and AAs might not come out to vote for Bernie.

There is a lot of condescending offensive stuff posted here from some Bernie supporters which makes me understand why some people are upset.

But, for myself I gotta say Go Bernie!!!

I really don't think the things that get said here resonate outside of these halls.

Anyway, Go Bernie, indeed!

it doesn't just happen on DU.

Lots of AAs who call in state they feel we Bernie supporters are condescending and they feel more comfortable with Hillary. There are many who call in pro Bernie, too. But, there does seem to be a pattern and we need to be respectful.
