Progressive Hero, Nina Turner, Is Putting Up With Rampant Racism and Sexism… From Democrats

Remember all of the so-called racist and sexist “Bernie Bros” you’ve heard about? Well, you ain’t seen nothing yet.

The disgusting treatment of African Americans in this country is well known among white, right-wing conservatives, whether it comes from Republican politicians, talk radio hosts, so-called “news” anchors, protestors at a rally… and now, the new phenomenon is racism coming from Democrats.

What? That can’t be right. Well, let me explain.

For years, Republicans and conservatives have talked about how Democrats and liberals are the real racists, which they have never really been able to give a coherent explanation for. Of course, anybody that knows even the slightest bit about modern day politics knows the party that wants to treat African Americans like second-class citizens, lock them up for petty drug crimes, give them lesser of a chance to succeed out in the world, discriminate against them for the color of their skin, etc., is the Republican Party.

I could go on forever. Those people know what they’re doing, and they should be called out for it.

As far as sexism goes, it’s no different. Republicans and conservatives are the ones who want to limit abortion rights to the extent that no woman should ever be allowed to get an abortion, regardless of the reason. No woman should be allowed to use birth control. No woman should be allowed to dress however they want, and if they are raped, it’s because their skirt was too short.

These are the beliefs right-wing conservatives predominately have. There is no denying that, and they basically take pride in it, even if you tell them how ridiculous they sound.

However, as of late, there has been a strange new wave of sexism and racism that has sprung up, particularly since the 2016 Democratic primary process began, and it hasn’t come from Republicans or conservatives, as much as you would expect it to.

In fact, the origins of this new wave of sexism and racism has been distorted so badly, and demagogued to its core, that literally nobody that is on the outside looking in can figure out where it started.

Well, contrary to popular (but debunked) belief, it’s coming from the very people who claim to decry it.

First, before I reveal exactly who I’m talking about, let’s look back on recent history, for those people that are unaware of how we got here.

I’m sure if you go to any mainstream news source, and you look back into the archives of everything that was documented about so-called sexism and racism on the left, you’ll see publications, like The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Daily Beast, Politico, Buzzfeed, etc., talking about the scary takeover of the “Bernie Bros.” Apparently, these people were extremely sexist, and they were taking over Bernie Sanders’ movement, even though this is a man who has been one of the most, if not, the most Progressive politician in the country.

Regardless, this urban legend of sexists and racists on the left grew and grew… and grew. Now, it’s become this increasingly pervasive attack used by supporters of Hillary Clinton, when responding to supporters of Bernie Sanders, or anybody on the left that doesn’t support Clinton.

Back during the early parts of the primary season, when it looked like the contest to decide who will be the nominee of the Democratic Party was going to come down to Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, a particularly baseless myth grew among the circles of Clinton supporters: Bernie Sanders has a lot of white, male supporters, who are extremely sexist towards Hillary, and they probably hate black people, too… Oh, and black women, especially, because they’re black and female.

Of course, this was completely made up. There was no actual proof of specific Bernie supporters, who were racist or sexist. Were there random people on Twitter, claiming to support Bernie, who used the N-word, or called female Hillary supporters sluts and whores? Probably. You can find all kinds of crackpots on social media making insane remarks. Frankly, I, myself, never witnessed any sexism and racism from the left, other than what was reported by these mainstream outlets. I was following the primary from the beginning to the bitter end, all the way up the convention, and so on, so I knew what supporters of Bernie were saying… which was basically repeating the Progressive message of Bernie Sanders, advocating for Medicare For All, free college, ending the wars, a living wage, etc.

It was a very straight forward group of supporters, who were men and women of all ethnicities. This seems clear to many of us… unless you asked a Hillary supporter, who’s living in an alternate reality. Those are the people who seem to think that every single Bernie supporter only hated Hillary, because she was a woman. This mentality was repeated all throughout the movement, moving up into the feminist movement, as well as some civil rights groups, who were also outraged at these so-called supporters of Bernie.

So, after that long reliving of the past, which Progressives have spent time fighting back against, remember the strange wave of racism and sexism I was telling you about? Well, I’m here to show it to you:

Until these blatant and well-documented examples of sexism and racism are denounced, as well as reported on in the mainstream media, I don’t want to hear anything from Hillary supporters about sexism and racism existing on the left, let alone any of it coming from Bernie Sanders, himself, or his most prominent supporters, who happen to be men.

You don’t have any room to speak about how anybody on the left is sexist or racist, especially when you manage to stay quiet and allow this kind of language to take place. The sexism and racism against Nina Turner is especially noteworthy, considering the fact that she used to be a Hillary supporter, picking her over Barack Obama in the 2008 Democratic primary, which was just as bitter and hard-fought as the one in 2016. Ms. Turner ended up switching from Hillary Clinton to Bernie Sanders in the primary last year. Since her switch to Team Bernie, she has suffered the attacks shown in this article.

NOTE: Also, it should be noted that I created a “Moment” on Twitter, which was documenting all of these attacks on Nina Turner, but it has inexplicably been censored by the social networking website. One of my followers made the discovery, which lead me to investigate the situation, myself, and tweet this out:

The actual “Moment” hasn’t been removed or deleted, but many of my followers have stated that when they go to the section showing my list of “Moments,” they say they have all disappeared. This is what’s called shadow banning. I directly made a complaint to Twitter’s support team, pointing out that the “Moment” is not being shown to my followers.

I still have yet to hear back regarding my inquiry.

Additionally, all of the tweets documenting attacks on Nina Turner (expect the first one) shown in this article have also been censored, which I pointed out on Twitter:

I complained about this to twitter, as well.

I still haven’t received a response to my inquiry, nor have the tweets been allowed to be shown to anyone who visits my Twitter page.

Due to the censorship, I’ve been forced to retweet the tweets, showing racist and sexist attacks against Nina Turner, on multiple occasions, just so my followers can see them.
