So #BernieSoBlack is trending on Twitter now. And I can't tell whether he's being mocked or if it's all in good fun.
I think it's partly in jest, but if anything it is focused on "white progressives". When the issues of race were brought up at the Netroot's conference thing Sanders didn't really have a platform for it. I think the black community is simply upset that all the "white progressives" are saying he is the last hope, but when things like race come up he still falls short. That's my understanding on the situation at least.
