their strengths', it causes me to ask 'what were Bill and Hillary doing back then, they are of the same generation, were in college during those turbulent times and I cannot find anything to compare to Bernie's record.

I never thought of that before, but now I do. So maybe it's time to ask whether people want TALK or ACTION.

If they want ACTION, Bernie is their candidate. There is no question about that.

Jesse Jackson put it very well when he spoke about his second run for President: 'The only two White Elected officials who stood by me then were Bernie Sanders and Hightower'.

Talk is cheap. Jackson had decided at the time that economic inequality for the AA community was a huge issue and Bernie helped him get that message out. He personally took the time to introduce Jackson to his own state where Jackson eventually won.

Let them TALK but those who actually CARE know Bernie's record and will be there for him in this election as he was for them.

Was it really necessary to add an attack on the Clintons at the end of this? oberliner Jul 2015 #11

The Clintons' record on race issues is extremely relevant. smokey nj Jul 2015 #12

The Bernie interview is great and ought to stand alone as its own OP oberliner Jul 2015 #13
