After the complete and total debacle yesterday at Netroots AMPwhere both Bernie Sanders and Martin O’Malley outraged AMPand offended black activists, the Bernmeister tried to make up for it by putting out a race-baity tweet to show he’s down with the cause.

And he screwed it up.
Was this tweet deleted? @BernieSanders pic.twitter.com/AABZsJkcyj

Goldie Taylor is a frequent MSNBC commentator on race stuff, so she took notice.
@goldietaylor @BernieSanders Deleted, then amended

But removed #SayHerName? https://t.co/0WI9K9e8PU

Uh oh. The hashtag #SayHerName refers to Sandra Bland, who was outspoken against police brutality and was found dead in a police cell in Texas after being arrested. This is the latest crusade by the “Black Lives Matter” crowd that you’ll probably hear more about soon. I actually think the story sounds very shady, and should be investigated.
But it’s too hot for Bernie to tweet, so he deleted it and posted this instead:
Sandra Bland, Eric Garner, Freddie Gray and too many others.

THAT’S NOT GOOD ENOUGH. Also it’s “problematic”!!!!
Posting a #SayHerName tweet that includes 1 BW + 2 BM is problematic. Then to repost w/ hashtag doubles the problem.

It’s sexist or something, I’m not sure. Goldie’s on the warpath:
I said it once and I'll say it again: Recruit a highly qualified, DIVERSE senior leadership team to run your campaign.

It's called erasure. So yes. https://t.co/8HY4SrLZmf

Erasure is white supremacy!!!
@goldietaylor OMG – he invoked #sayhername & then mentioned the names of a few men that were recently murdered by police! How scandalous!
