In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders Unveils Sweeping Policy Platform To Combat Racial Inequality [View all]dotymed
(5,610 posts)platform information. Black people have been especially targeted by "our" militarized police.
What really bothers me is that Bernie Sanders has the best record of any candidate (of any color) in working for civil rights and justice for ALL.
I really believe that the major disruptions of Sanders speeches by people claiming to be (probably are) members of black lives matters, have been given incentives to disrupt Bernie's speeches. This is my opinion. Why else would a great man whose record speaks for itself be targeted when obviously bigoted and racist republicans have been left alone?
This is the beginning (IMO) to paint America's best (last?) chance of an actual presidential candidate whose goal is to represent the vast majority of Americans. Actually work for us all. "They" want to portray him in any bad manner possible and they are willing to use any and all means possible. Still operating on the previously proven theory that most Americans will believe whatever the MSM tells them, they have begun. They fear that if enough Americans actually listen and check his voting record, he will become our next POTUS and IMO if Americans have any damned sense that will happen.
Get ready. This is just a mild opening salvo by TPTB to find any way possible to discredit this American treasure. Bernie wants to work for and represent us. the average and poor people of America. The wealthy, greedy, uninformed and power hungry will do anything to prevent all Americans being treated fairly and brought up to 1st world status. It is sad but very true. If Bernie loses so do we.
