Chauncey DeVaga has it partly right, at least in PA where I am a Democratic Committee person.

Bernie is wrong and Malcolm was right: What white liberals so often get wrong about racism and Donald Trump 

White progressives have a tough time confronting racism — as Bernie Sanders, a hero in many ways, has made clear 

Chauncey DeVega

First some of my background:

I've been tracking white nationalists and anti-government people for almost 30 years.

I grew up in an integrated neighborhood in Coatesville PA, a partly black steel town in Chester County, PA. I don't feel comfortable in an all white community.  I know how they think. 

While driving along Chester County’s rolling hills you will see Confederate flags flying from white nationalist homes. It’s not safe for a black person to walk alone on a rural Chester County road.

My next-door neighbors for the first 17 years of my life were Dr. Lewis Stokes and his wife Ms. Barbara Stokes. Dr. Stokes was a pioneering Black physician who was active in the NAACP.

A relative of mine was allegedly the teenage boy that pushed Zachariah Walker back into the fire when he was lynched in Coatesville on August of 1911. Later he was most likely the man who lit a cross on my Uncle Lou’s yard.

In the local elections in Coatesville 2015:

I tried to warn Coatesville voters that while the some of people running for Coatesville City Council are Black, their campaign manager was a White Nationalist John Birch Society member.  

Pat Sellers is a JBS Chapter Leader. He reads Jared Taylor’s pseudo-scientific racist eugenics American Renaissance Magazine.

"KLAN PHOTOS" Make it clear how White Supremacists Pat Sellers & Bob Saucier got on the Coatesville School Board

Shortly after Pat Sellers’ “Bloc of Four” Coatesville City Council was elected our police Chief Dominick P. Bellizzie left because he had no support from the 4 member majority "Bloc of Four" city council. Chief Matthews, a fake police chief was installed. One half of the Coatesville PD left for higher paying jobs. On a weekend there was one officer on duty in a town with a crime rate similar to North Philly. The ensuing lawlessness became an attraction for arsonists and Coatesville nearly burned down. I think Pat Sellers would have played a fiddle upon learning that Coatesville was burning if he had one. Harry Walker, the Coatesville City Manager at the time, was a former business partner of Pat Sellers.

Under former city manager Harry Walker’s watch COATESVILLE BURNED.

I’m familiar with racism and racists.

People hate and fear different people they don’t know. Its why people in Montana that never saw black men are afraid of black men. It’s why a man I met in Gardner Montana told me he brought his handgun with him to Independence Mall at the Bicentennial celebration in 1976 and risked arrest. And racists say they're not racists because they have black friends. 

On February 17th of 2016 before the GOP or Democratic Conventions I wrote:

"In a Trump vs. Clinton general election, I think Trump would win Pennsylvania."

Trump could easily win PA in November’s Election

Bernie Sanders knows what he's doing.

Don't confuse treating people with dignity with soft headedness. Bernie Sanders doesn't expect support from the hard-core racist/Neo-Nazi Republican Base. But some Democrats that voted for Trump are persuadable.

And most importantly, Trump didn't win, Clinton lost. Clinton lost because most Democrats didn't vote and many of the very few that did, voted against Hillary and mostly for Trump. 

Many Black women don't respect Hillary because she stayed with her many timer husband. And Clinton is responsible for putting Black men in prison and giving us the biggest prison system on earth.

Clinton and most of the DNC know what they're doing too, but what they do is take in money, whether or not they win elections is optional.

If Clinton and her corporate backers did not conduct a subversive campaign against Sanders, he would have been President Sanders.

By the way Trump is unequivocally a Nazi. But it's the other N word.

The New York Times or maybe Salon should write that Trump is a Nazi before it's too late.
