Why would she say that?  what was the quote and context?

Why don't I just click on the link?

She was quoting MLK and the surrogate told her than Nina didn't have a standing to quote him or invoke his words. She was telling a black woman that she couldn't invoke MLK's words. She's since apologized but this is on Biden too

It was wrong, but I dont get the racist part? It is sad to see people throwing around  accusations of racism for political gains.

Probably because MLK is black, so ofc a black person can make his words theirs?

Its not just "throwing around accusations" it was said in real time on air. It was racially charged because of who she was, who Nina was, and what she said. A white woman was telling a black woman that she couldn't invoke the words of a civil rights leader because she didn't like what Nina had to say.

I think she was just saying that quote wasn't applicable to Biden.

Despite him literally being the choice for white moderates who prefer normality and comfort over civil rights fights

I don't think she was coming from a racist point there, she just had poor wording.

Her now deleted tweet after about "angry black women" though  Joe should probably say something about that.

I don't think that's what she meant though. I think she meant "you don't have a reason to apply that quote to Joe Biden" not "you can't quote MLK"

She just flopped on the word choice.

 It’s just hysterical that when Pete/Amy/Liz/Bloomberg dropped out, Bernie Bros INSISTED their supporters needed to back Bern after all this.

 

Maybe instead of harassing us for months straight, claiming we were fake liberals because we backed someone else, you could’ve shown the decency and warm-embrace that the kind Biden crew has. Symone Sanders is literally a DEAR to Lis Smith & other senior Pete staffers. It’s welcoming.

"Turner replied by pointing out that it was, in fact, what King had written, and attempted to explain what the quote about the white moderate who prefers peace over justice means before Rosen cut her off, saying that using King's quote "against Joe Biden" was something Turner didn't have standing for."

I think her word choice was just bad but that's not a hill I'd die on tbh.

Honestly, Bernie should have criticized the tweet that came after about "no need to attack angry black women". No THAT is racially charged

Actually you do, joe Biden is a moderate politician.... he’s not a progressive. He is not running as a progressive.

And that's fine, since the voters have rejected the more progressive candidates and are in the process of rejecting the socialist candidate with haste. The center-left is winning; you are losing.

Joe Biden isn't racist, and I would surely trust the vast majority of African American voters on that over one Bernie Sanders surrogate. But this is obviously not an issue that will be solved on a frankly ill-informed pop music forum, so I'll leave you all to it.

But GGD told me that only Republicans can be racist.
