Sample The Thoughts of Communities Of Others
I have been finding a lack of understanding of people of color in the mostly white Bernie Sanders’ fan base. I thought I might be able to act as a conduit of people from communities other than the majority one. Even though I had some feeling about the issues of other groups, I thought I might try to interview some local people to find out their views more exactly.
What I have discovered, much to my chagrin for not having figured this out before, is that there are plenty of outlets for these voices, but we, the majority community, have to seek them out and listen to them.
Using a hashtag of #BlackLivesMatter (Too) on twitter and on Facebook led me to instant results.
Here are just a few things I found. There is a much, much larger universe to explore.
