Bernie is a better candidate for the poor and middle class. And that includes black people. There's no debate to be had there, it's abundantly clear.

The idea that a rigged system is not rigged for black people as well is preposterous. Totally absurd, but hey, vote how you will. I respect all choices, it's not my call. But don't peddle the bs that protecting the status quo is the safer, more pragmatic route for anybody but those invested in inequality.

It's downright insulting.

Edited to add: about the title. It's not relevant to me.
