(11,243 posts)because you know your original attack was wrong. Cute.
As to the new thing you are alleging, you start with the false premise that Brave is a bully and a SECOND false premise that there were not subtle but still racist comments regarding Southern voters. Here are just a few examples
Please Google "dog whistle" if you are confused about the nature of subtle racial attacks. Also note that just because someone didn't mean to be racist, doesn't mean that they are not and does not protect them from being called out on it.

Didn't Sanders himself say something divisive about Southern blacks being less informed than backs from the rest of the country?
You know what, it is NOT racist to point out when something is racist. And the bullies are the ones promoting white supremacy, not those who they are attempting to silence and disenfranchise.
Thanks for playing
