I sure love being whitesplained to.

Upper class white liberals (aka Hillary's support base) keep telling me how Hillary didn't REALLY mean black kids when she used words and language specificially used to dehumanize black kids and oh yeah Bernie voted for the bill too despite him having to choose between voting against something he hated and voting for something he really wanted (even so, it deserves a critical look).

I mean I'm to the left of the average progressive but I feel like I'm on RedState or one of the shittier parts of Reddit.

[iemitsu]

1. Me too.

[dorkzilla]

2. I've seen that exact line of reasoning ALL OVER the internet today

And the funny thing is, no one is really falling for it. There are many videos of Bernie talking about the bill and why he hated it and why he ultimately voted for it, so it went over like a fart in church.

3. Either they've drunk the Kool Aid themselves and really believe that

or (more often) have such a low view of John and Jane Q. Public that they believe we'll accept whatever far-fetched excuses the campaign can come up with.

4. I guess Ronald Reagan didn't *really* mean black mothers when he said welfare queens

[TM99]

5. Welcome to neoliberal DU

where the Sanders progressives out number the Clinton Third Way. Yet somehow we are the extremists here!

[MissDeeds]

8. Isn't it funny how that works?

We're in the majority here, but get shouted down like they own the place.

Well, on second thought, maybe they do.

[TM99]

9. I think it is well established

who 'owns' DU.

[mhatrw]

11. It's very analogous to who currently "owns" the Democratic party as well as the entire country. nt

[TM99]

12. Yup! Persona management in all these supposed 'progressive' organizations. n/t

[sarge43]

6. I take it she meant those white kids in the gated communities? n/t

[retrowire]

7. Sorry you're dealing with that.

Ignore the fools. It's common fucking knowledge what the term Super Predators means.

[abelenkpe]

10. "Upper class white liberals"

Describes the only people I know who support Hillary.

[eridani]

16. Thast's the only group she won in NH--people earing more than $100K n/t

[farleftlib]

13. And I sure love the constant lecturing and bullying

If you defend Bernie against his alleged POC "problem" you're insulting and badgering AA voters. You must sit down and shut up and deal with the fact that Hillary is the better candidate and suggesting otherwise is Berniesplaining.

[nc4bo]

15. They are full of it. This is what they do.

Trying to protect what THEY feel is their territory.

Pay them no mind. Keep trying to reach people.

[forjusticethunders]

14. One of them even suggested I wasn't black because I didn't

understand why locking away 30% or so black males was amazing for the black community.

[delrem]

17. I don't like the "Xsplaining" terminology.

Especially when it gets color-coded.

I'm not fond of your message. I don't like how you attack Hillary's "support base" in color-coded terms.

I don't think you can be right.
