I sure as fuck did. So did other Bernie supporters. You seem, PFLAG to have forgotten that that OP targeted LGBT as well as African Americans.

So, just to be clear, any outrage you feel towards racism is partisan?

I'm happy for you, but much of the commentary thus far places this in the "gaffe" category

I find it amusing that you continue to be whiteraged on behalf of A-As over this issue

I think a lot of it is a reaction to the hypocrisy from the Clinton camp and MSM
