I've tried in sooo many ways to express to my fellow bloggers that Bernie is in major do-do with the black community. He lost the black church when he ignored Charleston. He lost the BLM activists at the Netroots conference.
And now, he's suffering from a viscious Twitter black-attack that was written about on Politico, LA Times and the DailyBeast. Here's what happened:
After watching video of the conference, Morrow says, he wrote a few tweets expressing disappointment with Bernie Sanders. Soon, he was getting angry tweets from white Sanders supporters (whom he jokingly calls “Standers” – a play on Sanders’ name and “Stan,” a term for a maniacal fan).
“The Standers were angry that we were criticizing him for shutting down those women,” Morrow said in an interview. “They were telling me things like, ‘He was protesting for civil rights before you were born!’ They were saying I should just be thankful that he is here for us. It was almost like they were scolding me, saying that Bernie Sanders is blacker than me. So, I just took that to the extreme, and made a joke.”
The result was #BernieSoBlack.

Here's a taste of what brothers are now saying about the Bern. Tried to tell you that my brother's aren't feeling the Bern. His 1960's sit-in line has completely blown-up in his face:
It will only get worse.
What now?
