It's a bunch of hooey. That's a great picture. I love seeing people out there walking the walk!

I have met many latinos and blacks in Arizona who support and are active in promoting Sanders in the primary.

I am sure others across the nation and in each state can and will be sharing similar stories.

From the pic I'm guessing some sort of women's group but I can't figure out the acronym.

Sorry .... and thanks.

It's been coming into more favor as an initialism to avoid having to type out "African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, and Asians". Kind of like LGBTQ or QUILTBAG.

I'm acronym impaired but I do know the old school DU stuff thanks to my late sister and DUer.

I think it should be PoC. People of color.

Everybody is getting a chance to see Bernie for themselves and make up their own minds. He's putting himself out there for everyone to speak to and he's talking about real issues. I have enough faith in people to know that Bernie will have broad support across all categories. We'll just have to see if enough people of every type are persuaded. If some people are willing to stir up fake controversies in order to try to gin up support for their candidate, that's their problem.

Nope!

Eventually that meme will be proven false and it will then appear that he has gained more ground (even though that ground has already been won).

That attack is a desperate attempt to slow his momentum in the short term with no thought whatsoever about the long term effect it will have.

He needs to improve his numbers in North Carolina, but once that happens this meme will work to his/our advantage.

For the better part of a decade DUers have characterized the rw wing racists as old white guys.

When Sanders came along, the stereotype and acceptance of it was firmly in place. All people need do is guide Bernie's image into the pigeon hole.

It was very easy, everyone likes easy and we all like confirmation of our biases.

the meme of tension between Blacks and Jews.

I could say that was or wasn't a source of its origin

What seems to be the case is it "works" which is to say, people buy into it mostly because it fits existing stereotypical beliefs.

but reading here and out there, it is ever so subtle...

His name recognition among communities of color is small--but with only room to grow!

The more people get to know Bernie the more people support him.

It's happening with all groups of people, white, black, whatever... as his exposure grows so does his popularity. Period.
