cross post from Primaries:
"When the Congressional Black Caucus asked me to present my discovery of the illegal purge of Black voters in Florida, only one white guy showed: Bernie Sanders. Hillary: MIA. I'm tired of hearing that Sanders doesn't reach out to Black folk. He's been on the front lines since Selma. I don't endorse candidates but I also don't tolerate bullshit over facts." - Greg Palast

There are Black student chapters forming for Bernie. Marc Lamont Hill just gave in to the Bern.

From her on it's gonna be like dominos.
I'm really proud that Bernie supporters did not fall for that garbage about Cornel being hated in the Black community no matter how many times that smear was (ahem) *brushed* by someone whose 45 was stuck in the first groove in every single post they made for 3 days straight.
I really gotta laugh at the Clintonesque bullshit that Black folks are going to spit on Bernie's record and agenda because of loyalty to a White woman who called a Black Presidential candidate a slumlord.

..in your headline, so that those who need this information most will read it. Some DUers may not even know who Palast is or why they should care what he writes about. Maybe some reference to Congressional Black Caucus.
Great info. Thanks!
