Democratic Primaries

SO few people I've encountered on Social Media sites heard this, you would have had to read "The Root" online, which is a black news & entertainment site, it provided evidence of the "2 Americas" we live in.

For the Sanders campaign to believe in relying on professor West to work as a black outreach surrogate was wrong-headed, West is well know for bombastic language, his deep disdain for president Obama was well known at that time, why risk alienating black voters using a surrogate who called Barack Obama "the first NIGGERIZED president", West also called president Obama, "Nelson Rockefeller in blackface", this was the right way to gain traction with the "heart & soul of the democratic party"? Professor West made those comments on TV, not on some obscure website or blog site, someone with the Sanders team HAD to know, it's not believable that BS didn't know that West was on CNN and with Amy Goodman on her Democracy Now program, so NOBODY knew???

It's one thing to criticize Cornell West's ugly comments, the bigger issue is that there never were any disavowals from the Sanders camp, no one criticized West, Bernie didn't, which leads me to think that Bernie approved, NO ... it's not a plausible deniability to claim that Bernie didn't know, if that's the excuse then what does that say about the lack of campaign coordination, when his top black outreach guy gives TV interviews and BS is kept out of the loop? Hell, I saw the interviews !!!

Every BS supporter I mentioned this to did the same thing, they responded by asking if Bernie knew about West's comments, as if that made it easier for them to accept.

The bottom line is that for BS to have used someone who's made it clear what he thinks about president Obama, his harsh criticisms, saying once that "Obama wasn't the RIGHT black president", was plain stupid, if the goal was to gain traction with black voters.
