In reply to the discussion: Why Most Black Voters Still Aren't Feeling Sanders [View all]Bread and Circus
(9,454 posts)However I don't think it paints the "black voter" in too favorable of a light.
According to the article Bernie is "courageous" and "says all the right things" but then goes on to depict "black voters" as narrow minded and overly religious by liberal standards.
In a way he is saying "Bernie is not black enough" and is nearly literally saying Bernie's style "doesn't play well in Black churches".
So if a white person was saying that a black Presidential candidate wasn't white enough and didn't play well in white churches and that his or her supporters made white people uncomfortable on the internet that person would be derided as a racist and ridiculed.
But when the above article is written and it basically states what is probably a series of unfortunate truths...it is "ok" and we accept it because?
