In reply to the discussion: Bravenak's OP "Eight Things Bernie Sanders' Supporters Need to Stop Saying to Black People" hidden. [View all]Gore1FL
(21,129 posts)204. Self-described is an insult? Your handle self describes you as 1strongblackman!

In any event, thanks for stereotyping across races, though. It makes you seem so progressive to insult both black and whites equally! It makes your argument so much more convincing!
