Leftists and Democrats: Still Racist at the Core

Sanders' own national press secretary was treated badly due to race.

"MH: Last time we spoke, you told me about some really frustrating experiences you had on the road that you felt were definitely related to being a woman of color. Do you want to talk a little bit about those?

SS: There were multiple instances. There were places where I literally I couldn't get in. I would go to the door, the staff entrance, and people would say, "This is staff only." I'd have to explain to them that I was staff, and they would question me. I would have to say, "I'm the national press secretary. Did you watch me on the news the other day?" It was consistently happening. There was one week where it happened the entire week.

My breaking point was a time when I had let the event staff know I was having trouble getting in places and asked them if they could just really make an extra effort for this particular day, because it had been a long week. Like, "Could you please just let folks know that I'm coming and that I'm black?" You don't think you'd have to say those things, but I said, "Let them know there's going to be a black girl that's going to come to the front and please let her in."

So I got past the first few checkpoints, but then I pulled into a parking spot and a gentleman came running up to my car, banging on my window, yelling all kinds of profanity and expletives, telling me to get the F out of here, this is for staff, and that I didn't belong back here. I broke down in the car. I cracked my window down and I said, "I'm the national press secretary!" I was just crying. Eventually someone came down and let me in."

Apparently even Sanders was appalled at the party's discrimination.

Remember always: slavery, Jim Crow discrimination, the KKK, all are legacy Democrat functions. Anti-slavery, anti-discrimination, anti-KKK all are Republican legacies. The Civil Rights Acts were all opposed by Democrats right up to and including the 1964 landmark legislation passed by Republicans - and immediately claimed by Democrats under Lyndon Johnson, who then gave the blacks perpetual welfare to buy their votes. Blacks have been bought off ever since, despite not progressing out of their Democrat ghetto-plantations.
