the hot topic lately about the prison system and how it affects POC, many for minor drug offenses, has had a lot to do with his change of opinion.

Sometimes when you are asked a question, you just don't come up with all the possible scenarios to consider in the time you have to reply. The BLM movement has brought a lot of attention to all the ways that POC are being suppressed.

The part the bothers me is not so much that he used to feel that way, but that Clinton has not yet made this "evolution". And that should bother Hillary supporters too, but I think they'd rather attack Bernie for "flip flopping".
