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:
I’m going to puke.
Ok i want reparations for all the white people yes 160.000 white people died to end slavery. And still no thank you so grow up
Free stuff? Lol these whites can shole white wash some s**t

Before coming to a conclusion against the idea of reparations for slavery would anyone be willing to at least hear the case for them ?
I want you to see the comments
Look at the comments
I read them or at least many of them that’s why I asked my question. I don’t think that these folks have probably looked at this issue with an open mind or have even heard a well reasoned argument for slavery reparations. From the tone and content of what many of them have been saying I would be surprised if they even would be willing to do so.
This is why I’m leaving America!!! I’m not safe here amongst these people.
They seem to be operating out of their reactive not analytic parts of their minds. Politics often times brings the worst instincts out of people. Unfortunately ths issue is no exception.
