Okay, about the racism from Bernie caucus goers... let's get one thing clear

[Rebkeh]

It does not help matters to be apologists or give the benefit of the doubt in this scenario. This is exactly the opposite of the "Together" theme.

We will see if there is video or other proof, that's a given. Wait and see

But doubting voices are going to make racism effective.

DON'T DO IT.

If you cannot give the victim s of racism of the benefit of the doubt, withhold your opinion and say nothing at all.

I'm just telling you how it actually works.

1. This could well be another one of a series of

many, many lies from Her side.

[Rebkeh]

3. It could be but it's likely not

If you can't admit that. say nothing

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

2. I saw A video.

In that one, I couldn't hear anyone shouting 'English only'. Also saw twitter post from someone who said she was there, and she said no one shouted 'English only', but rather that they asked for a 'neutral' interpreter, ie one who wasn't in the bag for Hillary.

[SamKnause]

4. They have posted a 23 second video.

All that can be heard is a person shouting neutral.

A person that was at the caucus said the people wanted a

neutral translator, instead of the lady that supports Hillary.

She said what they are saying about shouting English never happened.

?????

Who knows ???

5. If they wanted English then it should have been English in an Election in America

so that everyone can understand what is being said during voting. As some do now speak Spanish.

6. This is total bull shit! Listen to the video all of 22 seconds and then you may want to adjust your

post

[Rebkeh]

10. Not bullshit at all

It happens every day. Even if there is proof it didn't happen, it doesn't matter anyway. The denial that it did does more damage than admitting that it's likely true. What is most important here is that it is very clear that Bernie is not like this. That it makes it look like Bernie is a racist is a problem.

Playing defense does not help. Admit it's possible, even probable, denounce it and move on.

12. Admit it's possible, even probable,,, Who in there right mind would do what you ask??

What you are saying is crazy. I could say I was at a party and HRC told me something and you would have to do what you are asking me to do?

[Rebkeh]

13. Okay, don't trust my experience

Good luck then

[juxtaposed]

14. Please post all of your experience.

[Rebkeh]

15. No

I'm a black Bernie supporter and know a hell of a lot more about this than most.

All you need to know is that it's probably better to trust poc perspective since it actually concerns us directly.

[juxtaposed]

16. LoL! I just saw you and I are on the same page? I must have read something wrong up post?

Sorry!
There is a lot going on tonight and I did not read your complete OP.

[Rebkeh]

17. Emotions are high for everyone

All good

[juxtaposed]

18. sorry! and your experience is what it is...

[Cheese Sandwich]

7. If that happened it's totally unacceptable.

That's really all we can say about it.

Don't play defense. If that happened, it's totally disgusting. Move to next topic.


I watched the 22 second video and have no clue what's going on in it. Whatever happened we know that translation service and other languages should be respected. That's it. We shouldn't get into arguments about it. There is nothing to argue about. Let the threads sink.

You can't win arguments like that.

[jillan]

8. If it happened - that sucks, I am ashamed but PLEASE do not blame it on Bernie or on all of his

supporters.

It should never have happened. We can agree on that. Ok?

[Rebkeh]

9. I agree. I trust that if Bernie was there, he would have none of it

That's what people need to know.

[mak3cats]

11. The incident seems to have been blown out of proportion...

19. It looks like the egg is on their face

Snopes posted the video and the only thing anybody said was they wanted a neutral translator.

It was a complete lie on their side. Disaster averted.

[jillan]

20. More lies? I am so sick of this. I was feeling

So bad this happened

[Rebkeh]

21. I know. It's sick

Happened in '08 too.
