In reply to the discussion: RACIAL PROFILING ALLEGED AT BERNIE SANDERS RALLY IN ST. PAUL [View all]BainsBane
(53,016 posts)They were passing out fliers about immigration policy toward East Africans. We have a large and politically engaged East African Muslim population in the Twin Cities. It's a very diverse area. Evidently that diversity, according to Imandi Ghandi, was not reflected at the Sanders rally, which is the only way profiling could even be possible.
Elom James White is saying that the staff heard there might be a protest so they started pointing at random black people. How is that anything other than profiling? It wasn't just one person who was targeted.
White is trying to be fair and give a sense of the events. He isn't trying to indict or excuse Bernie. I know it's ridiculous even suggesting that anyone could possibly have any right to say anything that might contradict anyone associated with the Sanders campaign. No need for facts. No need to consider anyone's word other than Bernie and his staff. Of course everyone but Bernie and his staff are liars. They are perfect and the rest of Americans hopelessly inferior.
