As a minority who have experienced racism, as simply as a cab passing me by to get to a white man, or showing up for a job that was available when I spoke to the person on the phone, and when I showed up ten minutes later, job was taken. Those incidents are just for starters. So please DON'T tell me anything about caring. I care! MY skin is in the game.

And please note that that is a question. also please note that I'm not asking about your judgement. If you think that Sanders and tRump are the same I know all I need to on that. Have a lovely day.

It's just not helpful, and the juxtaposition of Sanders and Trump is very distasteful.

I am entitled to make an observation. You are entitled to judge what I have observed as you see fit. As I minority, I am tired of minorities being used as window dressing for both parties.

of my observation? I find it offensive that you get to sit in judgement of what I am to be ashamed of. How dare you?

Comparing Sanders to Trump is just over the top offensive, and is not helpful to anyone.

or un-helpful. It is an observation of window dressing politics. When Mr. Sanders was asked about Black Lives Matter, his response was, "All life matters."

Senator Sanders has repeatedly said that Black Lives Matter. He has not reached out to PoC as many had hoped he would but he is trying very hard to work on this. As a Clinton supporter, I would also ask you to self-delete. Senator Sanders has absolutely nothing in common with Donald Trump, nada, nothing, zero!
