Or at least that was what I got after reading a comment today.
There was a great thread praising Elijah Cummings today, for his role in the email hearing. A man I truly respect.
One post took exception to the man for this:
John Lewis Clarifies Comments on Bernie Sanders' Civil Rights Era Participation
"I was responding to a reporter's question who asked me to assess Sen. Sanders' civil rights record. I said that when I was leading and was at the center of pivotal actions within the Civil Rights Movement, I did not meet Sen. Bernie Sanders at any time," Lewis said in the statement.
"The fact that I did not meet him in the movement does not mean I doubted that Sen. Sanders participated in the Civil Rights Movement, neither was I attempting to disparage his activism," he added. "Thousands sacrificed in the 1960s whose names we will never know, and I have always given honor to their contribution."

Sadly the poster does not know the difference between Elijah and John. It is sad when they are lumped into one group, black men. It is sad that a black man is judged by the color of his skin and not the content of his heart and soul.
I have to say, when you can not tell the difference between Elijah and John, well you have some huge issues to deal with.
Elijah Cummings
John Lewis

Peace and love to you all in the African American Group.
