(2,983 posts)So, uhm, the point of this post was to... what? Suggest that Sanders should have mentioned issues that burden black people in his kick off? To suggest that Sanders must be ignorant of issues of race, or not concerned enough, because he did not make specific mention in his kick off? Perhaps he should have also mentioned Native Americans, abused children, Asian Americans, people of religious minorities, the mentally ill, ex-cons, and every other type of person that faces a great burden in this Country. Shame on that bastard for not mentioning all of them!
I don't get it - did he specifically kick off his campaign talking about how he was going to save the white male protestants, or something? I don't think he did, surely I would have noticed that.
It also seems that you are trying to link that photograph to Sanders, without even being terribly subtle about it.
This is one of the worst, most dishonest political attacks I have ever seen here at DU - and we have had some real zingers.
I see nothing - nothing - in his record to indicate racism, or even a lack of concern for issues which involve race. On the contrary, his voting record indicates a strong belief in social justice and equality.
I don't get it. Whatever you were trying to do here, I don't think it worked.
