Bernie Sanders’ biggest failure as a candidate — other than his blatant socialist, white apologist, and anti-capitalist stances — has been his totally inability to gain any support from the African American community. That changed this week, as he has picked up at least one Black supporter in Ta-Neshisi Coates — but there’s a catch.
He may be voting for the “democratic socialist,” but he’s got one major sticking point that he can’t seem to get past.
Bernie Sanders needs to give him money if he becomes president… because he’s black.
Yes, apparently because his ancestors supposedly endured the no-doubt horrific pains of slavery, he, a man with no meaningful connections to the act other than a fleeting knowledge that his family lineage at one point was subject to American slavery, somehow deserves money from the current U.S. government.
What’s truly odd is that reparations are somehow the only thing Bernie is not giving away for free. For now, at least.
Read the interview in which Coates makes this announcement on the next page:
When will the ask the Muslims and black Africans who forced their ancestors into slavery and sold them in open air markets to white traders for reparations?
Blacks and Muslims in Africa are STILL selling then into slavery. 27 million black people are enslaved in the Middle East and Africa. Why don’t we ever hear anything about that?
Because it doesn’t fit the narrative for racial tension in America…
I’m pretty sure that even slaves came from China at one time in our history. This list can go on and on. But everyone should be past this now as it was history of the past and not going on today. It can and should be remembered, but not used today for ways to try and get some kind of payback through the system. It should always be remembered that many suffered. Think of the indians, pilgrims, everyone that suffered in the lost colinies, and yet only a hand full of people today are wanting some kind of payback, or compensation for the hard times it took people from the past to make America what it is today. You can spend your life today always crying, telling anyone and everyone that you are owed, or should be given things to make up for what your relatives had to go through, but whose relatives did not have hard times in the early stages of American history? All in all, everyone should stop their crying and work to achieve some goal in their life. Make something of themselves. Guess I better stop now as all this is just my opinion……
Thuggers being Thuggers!
This dude’s motto. ” Money for nothing, the chicks for free.” Idiot and a reaol jerk.
Typical bullspit!!! Get a job.

President Donald zJ Trump
So tell me who is stillalive from slave era. Also who is to be paid off? All blacks, all family members who can find slvery on family tree, how about indentured slaves. The whole thing is preposterous.
