Until we confront the real problems, things will never change.
Until Bernie supporters stop with this class over race nonsense, he will not garner black support.
I have a Ph.D. and two Masters degrees. I am still followed around stores. Still mistreated and disrespect. Still face racism each and every day. Still paid far lower than my counterparts due to my race and gender alone.
Let's confront the issues and stop bullshitting!
All of the Democratic Party nominees are full of shit as long as they continue to take black voters for granted--their most loyal and faithful constituency. Why? Because they don't want to come to terms with racism--perhaps their OWN racism.
The only candidate who has tried to honest make amends right now has been O'Malley. Even though he made mistakes, at the very least, he's doing everything in his power to acknowledge that mistake and reach out to black folk.
Bernie hasn't done or said anything to even repair this mistake. All I'm hearing right now is bullshit coming from him and his fans.
Hillary is far worse.
