Here’s the answer: NOTHING, NADA, NO THING.
There he rises, the great, white MLK of 2016 to rescue me and my kind because we need a savior like him. He sees my pain and is proposing all sorts of remedies for all that ails me in um, 2016!
But oh, what about 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2009, 1966---all the way back to 1962?
Silence, NOTHING, NADA, NO THING
Goldie said this:
“Sanders, who represents a predominantly white state, has frankly never had to answer to black voters writ large. And, as such, his legislative record is reflective of a man who did not need to be concerned about how people of color were getting along in places like Ferguson, Baltimore, or Flint.”
Okay that’s clear, why disturb his Lilly-white progressive constituents with black issues. Might upset them...you know? Don’t want a freakin’ revolution in Vermont ‘cause it might end his over 30-years as a professional, journey-man pol. Same reason he couldn’t touch guns; no revolution there either...no courage, no conviction...got to stay employed!!
Hah, but surely his rapid fire supporters would run to the internet thingy with a long list of Bernie’s African-American advocacy.
NOPE, NOTHING, NADA, NO THING
See?
“When asked to supply specific policies and legislation that Sanders has sponsored, championed or passed, most fell silent or deflected to prosecuting Hillary Clinton’s record. Others took issue with the Congressional Black Caucus PAC. Several progressive journalists, including David Sirota, attempted to discredit the political action committee’s endorsement.”
So here’s a new chance this morning for all of his staunches supporters to speak-out on the specific policies and legislation that MLK Sanders has sponsored, championed or passed.
I’m listening.
Might be able to trick the younguns with free tuition and stuff that will never pass but the rest of us see this game a mile away.
