If you really want to know whose supporters are the most racist and divisive

[jasmine621]

just look at how Tavis Smiley, Maya Angelou, John Lewis, Charlie Rangel and some other prominent blacks were demonized for supporting Hillary Clinton in the beginning of the campaign.

This is where the divisiveness started and largely with Jesse Jackson Jr. and some members of the Black Caucus.

[jakem]

1. logic = fail

[DemVet]

41. your post = weak

[Alexander]

44. You and the OP = pwned

[greguganus]

47. you got served. n/t

[EFerrari]

2. LOL

[BlooInBloo]

6. (joins in the laughter)

[HEyHEY]

3. Why are you blaming black people? Are you just used to it?

[NorthernSpy]

14. force of habit, I reckon...

:shrug:

[Occam Bandage]

21. Well, it's either the fault of the Hillary blacks, the Obama blacks, or the CBC.

Whatever the reason, it's definitely the fault of blacks somewhere.

[HEyHEY]

25. the CBC? Canadian Blacks?

Why are they dragging Tim and Al into this?

[damntexdem]

39. CDC= wouldn't that be Canadian Broadcast Caucasians?

And why are they causing divisiveness in our country?

;-)

[Texas Hill Country]

43. that is a messed up thing to say

[MannyGoldstein]

4. Examples?

I don't recall that happening.

Can you supply a few links?

[MannyGoldstein]

40. (Cue Sound Of Crickets Chirping) [nt]

[Starbucks Anarchist]

5. Yes, us hardworking black racists.

:eyes:

[last1standing]

45. Ha! You know there are no hard working black people.

Only whites can work hard. Hillary said so.

:sarcasm:

[countingbluecars]

7. Stop it!

[Cant trust em]

8. You're missing the other side of the argument

of women being labeled as going against the "sisterhood" for supporting Obama. We've all seen it.

I'm not saying that you're wrong, but there's another half to the argument.

[ellacott]

9. When was Maya Angelou demonized?

When was Charlie Rangel demonized? There is so much more to the Tavis Smiley story that you are not being honest about.

[melody]

15. I adore Maya Angelou ... I've never seen her demonized. If I had, I'd step in

I haven't seen anyone "demonized" at all, actually. I think some of the Hillary supporters have a persecution complex.

[ellacott]

24. That's exactly what it is, a persecution complex

I would have stepped in also. These events didn't happen. I guess some of these folks are trying to show how much they've sacrificed and had to endure by supporting Hillary. They are not honest.

One of the reasons that John Lewis was pressured to change his vote is because his district voted for Obama but also because he originally came out in support of Obama. He was ready to endorse him but Lewis got a call from Bill and changed his support to Hillary.

Charlie Rangel ha said that he supporting her because she is from his state. People have enough sense to understand that this is politics.

[emilyg]

37. She was called old and unumportant on Du.

[melody]

42. One idiot called her "old and unimportant"? I've been called that here, too.

That doesn't amount to an Obama supporter attack on anyone.

[merh]

48. I said that I didn't share her opinion

she likes country music and I don't. :shrug:

Oh, and I don't agree with her about Hillary, but that is my right.

[NatBurner]

10. ya know what?

not this time

[Chulanowa]

11. I would have guessed McCain's supporters.

Silly me.

[Debi]

12. *sigh*

[NorthernSpy]

13. what do you think of Rangel's angry response to Hillary's "hardworking white" comment?

Hillary has a funny way of showing her few remaining black supporters that she values them.


:rofl:

[ellacott]

16. His response was hilarious, I loved it

[Renew Deal]

17. How much did you pay for that gallon of gasoline?

[Avalux]

18. Now that's quite a can of worms. Big crawly ones....

[Occam Bandage]

19. Yeah, fuck Maya Angelou. We strawmen are ANGRY!

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

20. Obviously Barack Obama supporters hate black people.

Stupid Christian white supremacist muslim black nationalists.

:rofl:

[graycem]

28. Just "smart" ones...

lol.. Maya Angelou, demonized.. good grief!

[last1standing]

46. Did you just claim that only stupid black people support Obama?

Is that what you just said?

[YOY]

22. Fail!!! Now with racism!!!

[Maine-ah]

23. I figured it was McSame's supporters

:shrug:

but hell, wtf do I know. I'm just going to support the democratic nominee.

[graycem]

26. Maya Angelou

has NOT been demonized, neither have the others. Tavis was acting like a jerk.

The divisiveness started with the Clinton's remarks.

[atufal1c]

27. LOL! Such Bullshit!

One of the things that has warmed my heart about this primary is seeing two very good candidates, one white, one black, both being supported by prominent black people. NOne of that "I can tell who's speaking just by looking at the crowd standing on stage behind them" bullshit.

How the hell are you going to name a half-dozen prominent black supporters for the white person and then claim it's proof that blacks are the most racist?

LOL!

I'm lovin' it!

[Binka]

29. Jaysus Gawd What A Bowl Of Fuckwittage

Whatever would we do without your vast experience and wisdom here on DU? What's that, you've only been here 4 months? I'm just SHOCKED. Fucking. Shocked. :sarcasm:

[uponit7771]

30. They are freepers, the new Reich Wing mantra this year is blacks are the racist.

[Binka]

35. It Is Pretty Obvious Isn't It?

I loathe these nasty Nazi fuckers. They see it all slipping away and they are being driven insane with their worst nightmare coming true. Fuck off and die Nazi's. A black man IS going to be President.

[graycem]

34. well that did`t make any sense

[dionysus]

36. omg this thread really is a TOTAL fail!!!!

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[Colobo]

38. I'm a black Hispanic. My girlfriend is white of Syrian descent. I'm for Obama.

Now call me a racist.

[Edgewater_Joe]

49. WAAA! WAAAA! WAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Get a box of Kleenex, Hillbot - Hillary lost all by herself, and her alienation of the African-American population is ALL on her shoulders and cankles.

[SeattleGirl]

50. Dream on.

Or come back to reality.

Just quit trying to force-feed your special brand of "reality" to those of us who aren't living in Pretend Land. :eyes:

[madrchsod]

51. really ? wow..thanks for the information.....

yes ya can`t trust jessie jackson and "some" members of the black caucus..... :rofl:

[ShortnFiery]

52. ....

Yes all those *powerful AA* are just helpless against the peasants who vote in their districts. :eyes:

[rhett o rick]

53. And the purpose of this op is what?? To tear down the Democratic

nominee? Now why would you do that? Do you really think you can affect the nomination now?

[donheld]

54. Got any proof of this so called demonization?

Bet not.

[carolinayellowdog]

55. If you really want to know the truth about millions of voters

a vague anecdote attacking four individuals means NOTHING
