I’m so tire of the Bernie supporters claiming that he is the best candidate for us without understanding what the black struggle is about. It’s basically non black people telling us what we should do like they own us. We don’t need allies like that. They say he did all this in the past but I’m like Janet Jackson, “What have you done for me lately?”
I’m a fan of Bernie’s economic policies but he is fucking up. It’s not enough for him or his supporters to point to actions he has taken in the past on issues important to Black voters today. He has to present policies to address the issues of today. If my dream candidate Elizabeth Warren could address the issues at the same conference in a speech and Bernie truly supports civil rights he could speak from the heart.
It is no more pandering to speak on issues of race to a largely Black audience than it is pandering to talk about student loan reform at a college or protecting social security to senior citizens.It is merely addressing the concerns of a constituency, at east if he truly is expressing his actual opinion. I don’t accuse Bernie of pandering or lying when he presents strong support of gun rights activists and the Second Amendment.
He needs to fight for the support of Black people as much as he fought for support of the NRA. Just as Hilary Clinton, Jim Webb, and any other candidate have to show support for my issues. Just to be clear, I’m far less enthusiastic about them than Bernie but his supporters make me wonder. As the great Socialist candidate for president in the early 20th century Eugene Debs once said, “the lesser of two evils is still evil.” No matter who wins the Democratic nod I’ll vote for them in the general election but Bernie and everyone else should be trying to run as something better than the lesser of two evils.
whoops replied to the wrong one
I know NetRoots 2015 isn’t the best first impression of Bernie but he has been fighting for Black rights since forever. You don’t need to hold his feet to the fire for him to fight for you. Even if you do hate him he still fight for you.
1991- A speech protesting a police legislation that would disproportionately punish blacks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZJ7f-3XGB4&feature=youtu.be
2005- A speech before he met the Black Lives Matter protesters. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtkGLk7M7zs
You say that Bernie needed to pander and lie to you but isn’t that whats wrong with politics? Many other politicians will just lie to you just to get your votes and drop you when they get elected. The reason why we bring up voting records and what they did in the past is because it shows what a politician does when they aren’t running for president.
Elizabeth Warren and Bernie are allies in the senate. Many Bernie supporters want her to become Bernie’s VP.
I am not black I am just a Chinese guy that want everyone to get a long. Also whats the difference between Astra safety razor and Bevel?
