88. I understand that but the question was on how he would improve race relations.

It was because he had said he would do BETTER than Obama on race.
That is not an answer to how he would improve race relations, that's a solution to teen unemployment, which is not a CAUSE of racism, but a RESULT.

How does that improve RACE RELATIONS? bravenak Feb 2016 #2

Is it a problem that the black youth unemployment rate is over 50%? jfern Feb 2016 #4

Yes. So is racism which the question was ABOUT. bravenak Feb 2016 #5

Well of course racism is why their unemployment rate is so high jfern Feb 2016 #6

That's nice so why the stereotyping? bravenak Feb 2016 #7

There's a racial component that the black unemployment rate is much higher jfern Feb 2016 #8

So nothing wrong we are not allowed to be offended? bravenak Feb 2016 #12

You're free to be offended anyways jfern Feb 2016 #13

You are choosing to be offended based on a misinterpretation of Bernie's words. earthshine Feb 2016 #66

How does it not help race relations? Perogie Feb 2016 #26

We all had job during slavery. Proof that full black employment will not fix racism. bravenak Feb 2016 #27

That was a huge fail on your part. Perogie Feb 2016 #29
