Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE

10. Thx, I saw the poster signed up today just to mock their efforts ...

glad you did not get a hide!

11. First post, made purely to mock black Sanders supporters.

He/she should be gone, 7-0

[slipslidingaway]

13. Yes that was disgusting ...

[Maru Kitteh]

14. I was juror #5. I couldn't read the post you were responding to because they had already been banned

Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I am a Hillary supporter and long-time DUer. We should ALL feel safe in calling single-post, thread-crashing, tombstone-earning, (probably) racist trolls exactly what they are. ASSHOLES.

But it wasn't difficult to make an educated guess as to what had happened. Thread about Bernie supporters who also happen to be black is kind of like a big, beautifully wrapped present under the Freeper Jesus tree. And like all small children - they just. can't. stop themselves.

Juries are getting called up so often these days, I think those who voted to hide simply saw the word "assholes" and just hit hide > hide.

15. The post was two or three rows of the "rolling on the floor, laughing" smilie,

no text entered, and was the poster's very first submission.

It was clear the intent was to mock and denigrade both black people and Bernie Sanders.

Thank you for your comment and support.

17. Brock did not get his money's worth with that one. nt

5. As a Bernie supporter,

I wish this would have happened months ago.
Actually, Bernie is doing ok with black MEN.
Where he is getting clobbered is with black Women.
Especially black women over 50....they have been going over 90% for Hillary.

6. Is losing them 2-1 okay?

7. Unfortunately, your link doesnt

Break it down by race, sex, and age.
I think that Bernie is winning or breaking even with black males 18-29.
But, yes, Hillary wins over 2-1 above age 29.
And, I think that Hillary is winning black women 50+ by more than 90%.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

8. I am not disputing he does better with millennials of all colors.

[slipslidingaway]

12. Me too, they did make a visit to Philly last month and are trying to spread the word ...

I applaud their efforts.

Black Men For Bernie: Conversation for Black Women

Published on Apr 5, 2016

"Ladies, we need you. For years you've been a strength and the roots of many support systems within our communities; and have unfortunately had to carry the weight of many burdens, misfortunes and ills we've had to face in America. We're here today to support you in everything you do and we ask you to please consider how your vote can make a great deal of difference during these elections.

If this video resonates in any way, please take a moment to further research Bernie and Clinton, as well as pass this video along to other women you love.

Again -- our greatest tool during this election cycle is education -- which is why we've chosen to equip as many people as possible with valuable information that can be shared, for what is hopefully the best collective decision made amongst united citizens right now. Thank you and please continue to spread awareness about Bernie Sanders."

[Spacedog1973]

16. This organisation is everything wrong with Sander's 'Outreach'

1) Vote for Bernie and get every woman in your life to vote for Bernie on your behalf.
2) If you can’t vote personally get 10 new voters registered and pledge (GIVE US YOUR WORD) to personally take them to the polls to vote for you and Bernie.
3) Make a minimum contribution of $5.00 to Black Men for Bernie in order to help us get out the facts to our communities across America by being on the ground.
4) Participate in Marches for Equality and Education in your city.

If any of the following applies to you STOP IT:

1) Abandonment of your child or children
2) Focusing on making it rain
3) Using the pulpit to abuse our women, children and communities
4) Asking for votes and not serving the best interest of your community

What a great organisation. /s

18. You have a problem with that? nt
