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 have an alibi. I wasn’t born yet.
Not just Welfare, Medicaid, section 8, food stamps, WIC, free OBAMA phones, Heap, Free college tuition, free daycare, clothing vouchers, and a hike for each additional fatherless baby and now it’s 100,000 Syrian muslims (mostly men) that hardworking AMerican have to pay for their “everything as well. When is too much enough. And govt. Keeps telling us we are 10 trillion in debt – I can see why.
No…I’m not paying for it… I wasn’t born then and had nothing to do with slavery

good article: Just as Fox News declares reparations for slavery could occur in 2016…I’m tired of saying nothing & doing nothing. It’s time we rally together, get the truth out & make changes to the system.

Bernie Sanders has Heart & Soul agreement! Same messages for THE PEOPLE for 40 years. Hillary: Heart confusion (“learning moments” needs “to evolve”) and no Soul ($$$$$$). This defines the entirety of their political careers. Bernie is right; $15. CA & NY agree. Judgment comes from a leader, not a follower. Bernie leads the way for Hillary time and again with judgment. He is a leader because he is free to exercise superior judgement, as he is owned by no one. Hillary’s negative attention is divisive and has no place for progress. Bengazi, emails, paid speeches, being protested by grass roots orgs like Code Pink (for being a war hawk) and BLM (her racist past), and they are democrats! The GOP despise her more than Obama. When they start obstructing her uncomfortable, newly adopted, “democrat”, Bernie-lite stances, she will default down to Obama 2.0 >>> Aim low, fail lower! She has less public service experience than Bernie, in and out of office, and less success crossing the aisle. Bernie earned a bi-partisan nick name “The Amendment King” while in the House for getting things done with both sides. Hillary’s bi-partisan nick name is “flip flop” = red flags smacking across your face. Worst of all, her experience / voting record is, frankly, atrocious. A ball & chain for progress. So vote with purpose and a semblance of understanding for judgment, qualifications, and a stellar record. Voting for gender and celebrity is shallow and portrays democrats as clueless simpletons. We are better than that.
Reparations my a$$. Except for current or former living slaves.
oh suck it up with the whinning….want reparations well here it is…you take away statues of confederates and flags..well i take away black history month and martin luther king….thats how i want to play…understand?
