Along with this statement:

"It is due to all of the above that I have to say that when Sen. Bernie Sanders kicks off his presidential campaign with a suggestion that he is launching a "political revolution to transform our country," and yet makes zero mention of any of the issues that burden people of color in this country, my response is simply..."Not good enough, Bernie."

At most it was implied.

And note by search, I have said nothing in any of the threads about this. This is just an observation from reading the various threads on the topic.

I don't know the blogger who wrote the above, but it was irresponsible, and that's being kind. What it was would get me kicked off the board for having said. As you can see I support Hillary Clinton, but to expect Bernie Sanders to cover everything his campaign is to be about at the kickoff rather than generally hitting a few of the highlights is unrealistic.

Now, if 6 months from now he hasn't addressed these issues at all, that's different. But right off the bat hitting on everything he's about? Just not possible.

And that's true of any candidate.
