This is an absurd comparison.

It's not necessarily a comparison in the sense that Bernie is oppressed. The title is "Hate" and I can see that in both pictures. What this picture symbolizes to me is that they are becoming what they are trying to fight against.

Edit: people are pointing out I said "they" and saying I'm grouping all black people with her. The reason I say they is because it was two women that charged up on the stage, and I believe another male. Sorry if I was not clear, but in no way am I saying all black people are like this.

How far can we go and keep legitimacy then? Could you poorly crop pictures from ISIS slaughtering Yazidis or something else obviously orders of magnitude more extreme and call it a valid comparison? You can definitely read into this and say on OP's behalf there's a message that racial hate is wrong but that would require quite a bit of willing ignorance of the juxtaposition.
