"To Understand the Clintons' Appeal in SC, Meet Bernice Scott"

7. Yes, yes, we know

Because one black voter is quoted as saying he doesn't know who Bernie Sanders is, this is proof of what ALL black people know - because, of course, it's not a problem to attribute the behavior and attributes of one black person to the entire race.

And it's amusing to see Bernie supporters cut and paste this excerpt over and over again as supposed "evidence" that black voters as a whole don't know anything about Sanders since such a claim actually undercuts your argument that Bernie has been fighting so hard for civil rights all of his life.

What you don't seem to realize is that Bernie's problem is not that black people don't know enough about his record - it's that if he had been such a fighter for civil rights for black people, the people he has supposedly been fighting for all this time would know all about him without having a bunch of white people explain it to them. The very fact that he has had to campaign so hard to the black community is proof that he hasn't been there in the past - otherwise, they would know him well. The fact that Bernie's supporters feel they have to "introduce" Bernie to black people should tell you how absent he has been from their world for the past several decades.
