He thought being black meant he could say what he wanted without consequences. He was mistaken.

A staffer for 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders reportedly departed last week over anti-Semitic and homophobic tweets.
Darius Khalil Gordon, who joined the Vermont senator’s campaign in November, announced Wednesday his new position as deputy director of constituency organizing for the campaign, the Washington Free Beacon reported. A Sanders campaign spokesman told CNN the campaign no longer employed Gordon following the Thursday Free Beacon report that examined a variety of Gordon’s tweets.
“He is no longer with the campaign and we wish him the best,” the spokesman, Mike Casca, told CNN Friday.
“I got a black mans body, white mans power, jew man money, and an asian man life span..lol,” Gordon allegedly tweeted in July 2011, according to a screenshot from the Free Beacon. Another screenshot shows a September 2010 tweet in which Gordon allegedly said, “Working hard so one day I can make that Jew money.”
Other screenshots show Gordon sexualizing women in offensive terms.

Holy cow.
He thought being black meant he could say what he wanted without consequences. He was mistaken.
From the headline, I thought he quit over Bernie’s comments, rather than his own. Because, the line about him embodying all of the races is kind of funny if you’re not all sensitive about the mere mention of race. Every racial stereotype has its strong and weak points.
He looks angry.
Like most democRATS they have what I call a PermaScowl.
I hear you.
Well, I mean, Bernie has money and he never worked a day in his life. What’s a poor misunderstood hood from the ‘hood to think?
Washington Free Beacon captured a bunch of his tweets.
At a time when conservatives are being booted off twitter for “violating community standards”, take a good hard look at what Twitter does NOT consider a violation of their standards:
No. That's the look of a proud black man.
True, though I think it would be funnier if you did a self-effacing version:
“I got a black man’s bank account,
a jewish man’s wife,
a white man’s athletic ability,
and an asian man’s genitalia.”
Sounds like a typical Democrat. What’s the big deal?
Haha, but self-effacing doesn’t sound like Bernie.
The Sanders campaign doesn't seem to condemn his tweets, which is in keeping with their culture; instead, it wished him well. He'll probably deliver a eulogy at Sanders' funeral, which will be in the next few years I'm sure.
Re: Darius Khalil Gordon
I’m surprised they published his whole name.
“Darius” - King of Persia who ruled and conquered at the pinnacle of the Persian Empire.
“Khalil” - means “beloved person” in Arabic.
“Gordon” - related to Flash Gordon?
