“I think you know there are a lot of white folks out there who are not necessarily racist who felt uncomfortable for the first time in their lives about whether or not they wanted to vote for an African-American,”

-Bernie Sanders

If someone won't vote for an African American guy or gal they probably won't be voting for a Democrat.

1. K&R !!! What would Sander consider a racist then? What is his bar?

3. Exactly

That comment really pisses me off.

2. Maybe he should shut the hell up about race.

4. He keeps trying to be relevant on race and he can't.....

5. It's sad. That was his achilles heel in 2016. He needs to get out of 95%...

6. Race isn't top of mind for Sanders since he lives in the one of the whitest states in the country.

He's very clumsy when it comes to issues of race.

7. But Sanders specifically states "this time". I want clarification on the point of "this time".
