(21,506 posts)The attacks on Bernie over race are beyond ridiculous. Watching the primaries play out from the perspective of someone who doesn't really have a dog in the race I would say the attacks from both sides are largely ridiculous.
Both of our candidates are fine candidates over all and trashing either of them is really silly IMHO. That of course is easy for me to say is because I am not invested in either of them. I have spent my share of primaries here picking apart statements and assigning guilt to them so I am certainly not immune to it.
It is really odd to watch from the viewpoint of no particular preference. Some days I am feeling the bern and some days I am appreciating Clintons mastery of so many subjects. most days i am just happy to have a choice of a reasonably solid democrat to vote for as opposed to trump.
I didn't mean to call you out really I was just struck by so many posts assigning the dislike of Cornel to support of Hillary Clinton when he has been going off the deep end for quite some time. Long before the primaries we are currently in.
I do understand the sensitivity to racial support when it comes to Bernie. I think he gets a really bad rap in that department.
