Why Bernie Sanders’ problems with black voters go much deeper than him just blaming the media

103. What has he done that has you concerned about supporting or not supporting POC?...

I think that was the question that was being asked? Because if it isn't something about just familiarity with him as a candidate, many of us are failing to see what the real concerns are that POC have with him, other than his own skin color and heritage in the state of Vermont where there are less POC residing.

When he was in Chicago working hard to protest segregation, Hillary Clinton was campaigning for Barry Goldwater who was against the Civil Rights act being passed then, amongst other issues relating to POC then as noted here.

Though Bernie in his later political career has embraced and worked hard on many other issues that haven't necessarily in each instance addressed specific issues/concerns for POC, I have yet to see anyone show constructively that he's turned his back on them in his career and I seem him work on many issues where he's the leader on things such as private prison reform, etc. that would heavily benefit PC. He's been pretty consistent on his stances on just about all of the issues he's worked on, which is harder for us to see in the history of Hillary Clinton's career which has undergone many changes, and also leaves ambiguous public stances on many issues at so many times too.

For us that see this, we're trying to understand what it is that those complaining about Bernie Sanders are really complaining about, and what they want him to do. If they are asking him to drop everything else and only work on their issues, that is not going to happen. That would only make him less "viable" as a GE candidate, which many say here is important to you all.
