***Posted in the AfAm Group - Less to do with Candidate than a young coddled caucasian actress acting the Fool!***

The arrogance and the dismissal of these two mens' mission - and what their CHIEF focus was on -

I'm just gobsmacked at the arrogance of the Dominant Culture.

The problem is they dont know any other names to compare Bernie to, they know who MLK and Mandela were, they know a little about them (not much obviously or the comparison would never enter their minds).

You can see Bernie cringing so hard when he hears this shit, too. Say what you will about him, and this is not about him, he knows better.

Devaluing what black people do is what this is, I was just remarking here about that

as the RWers who try to rewrite and co-opt his past. Everyone wants to compare their political heroes to him and Mandela without putting much thought into how the two men conducted themselves or everything they went through in their lives.
