In reply to the discussion: This is NOT Bernie's revolution! It's a gross suggestion. [View all]Voltaire2
(13,009 posts)17. Oh. Wasn't hard to find. Here:
When we talk about systemic racism, were not just talking about Black lives killed by police with no accountability. Were not just talking about Black lives killed by COVID-19. Were not just talking about a third of Black children in our country living in poverty, and millions of Black kids going to totally inadequate schools. Were not just talking about Black women having a maternal death rate three times the rate of white women, and Black families owning 1/10th the wealth of white families. Instead, we are talking about a system of pervasive racism that impacts every aspect of our lives. This has got to end. We need equity for Black people, for Brown people, and for all who are marginalized and made disposable in a system and an economy that treats millions of people as unworthy of the basic decency of human respect.

The original complaint was that Sanders had not said anything about the situation.

And your proof was a statement where Sanders didn't even bother to say his name.
