Bernie Sanders’ Campaign Said He Would Give A Speech On Race. Then He Scrapped It.

The scene tonight from a sudden turn of events in Flint, Mich. “He does not have those experiences. He is a white Jewish man," a Sanders spokesman told reporters. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/rubycramer/bernie-sanders-flint-michigan-speech-black-voters …

1. KR!

[NCProgressive]

2. Of course he did

There was no minority person there except Cornell West and Nina Turner.

4. You forgot Killer Mike!

[NCProgressive]

5. Oh yes ... was he there?

(and is he still black?)

[sheshe2]

7. Dunno if he was there.

Pretty sure he is still black.

3. So he bails on a "racial equality" town hall in Mississippi to give a speech on race in Michigan....

...and he winds up not delivering that, either.

[NCProgressive]

6. Racial issues were never important to Bernie

He always thought of it (and still thinks) it is a non-issue.

8. Wow.

Not. Even. Trying. Anymore.

[NCProgressive]

9. Bernie probably didn't want to do it in the first place

and even if he did, he wouldn't know what to say anyway. Racial issues are parsecs away from his one and only stump speech.

10. Bernie giving a talk on racial equality

is like a cheetah giving a talk on the virtues of vegan diet.
