the "black men for Bernie" founder is supporting Donald Trump now

[JI7]

this refers to a specific group, not black men in general that supported Sanders.

even black people who supported Sanders were turned off by this group.

but i'm posting this because articles and videos of this group were constantly being posted by mostly white posters as an example of black people seeing the light or black people who knew better and how other black people needed to follow them. especially in this forum or even in random threads as a response to black posters .

i don't think they seriously supported sanders either but were more anti clinton. he is also supporting republicans in other offices.

1. Who is he?

[JI7]

2. his name is Bruce Carter

he has a history also which i just recently read of phony organizations to help people but it's just about getting money. looks like he only found out about sanders about a month before he started supporting him. i think the whole thing was just to raise money.

his group was regularly posted on DU and other sites by mostly white people trying to get black people to support sanders.

4. He's quite the grifter, based on that link....

We reached out to Carter for comment before publication. In response, he pretended that the contact address that was publicly listed as the registration email for blackmenforbernie.com was not actually his, even though it accompanies his name on the form and contains his initials.

His tactics are right up Trump's alley....

3. Few and far between. Most of us Black folk can't afford Trump and won't vote third party

This is just ridiculous. I don't typically like to lump "ALL OF" any group into a category but all Black people who support Trump are fucking idiots. There, I said it. I'll be more sympathetic for the few who will vote third party because I truly understand that there are some Black folks, particularly millenials who are NOT here for Hillary Clinton. They won't vote Trump but know they can't sit it out and disrespect those who fought for us to have the right to vote. So they will vote third party. Again, will be few and far between. Most of the third party vote will come from Whites.

5. I agree.

". . . all Black people who support Trump are fucking idiots."

i don't think they seriously supported sanders either but were more anti clinton. he is also supporting republicans in other offices.

I believe that this is true of at least some other BOBers.

9. I am not shocked about this

I hear people calling into Reverend Al's show trying to pitch Trump to us all the time but still won't tell me what he will do for our community

11. If you are Black, Jewish, Latino, Muslim, LGBT or a Woman you are crazy if you vote Trump

Just knowing that the KKK and Neo Nazis support him is enough.
