In reply to the discussion: Russell Simmons endorses Clinton, slams Sanders [View all]Gwhittey
(1,377 posts)to jump on calling him out for being insensitive and take time to learn what he is about you would learn that, he just thinks we need to Fix the crappy way we are being controlled by Big Corps and that is corner stone of fixing social issues. You have to kill the disease before you cure the symptoms. Why do you think GOP cut Obama off at the knees and why really only lip service is being paid to curtail police kill unarmed POC all over country, because money and corruption influences our elected officials to just appease us with speeches and not actually try and change anything because it is hard so let us just do a little at a time, This is oligarchy 101. divide the little people up and then sick them against each other and take in money like mad while the little people fight over scraps.
For him to come out and tell African Americans anything else would be pandering to them because what I understand about him is that he speaks what he believes. And basically post after post on her and Main Stream media all over are saying the same message, "Sanders did not pander to xyz group like a normal politician does to win votes" And people think that is bad thing to just lie about crap. I guess Trump is type of Pres this country deserves because that is what he is doing to those Racist idiots over in GOP.
Now I don't know what Sanders thinks or his attitude but I have read a lot on what he did in past and his work for Civil Rights seemed real good. If I was him I think I would be saddened by all media all the time trying to portray him as anti POC. It just seems that we are trying to make a issue of race on the wrong person, a white man who has been fighting against it for longer than I have been on this Earth.
