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:
Let Obama pay they out of his personal money. His ancesters owned slaves.
I better be getting my repatriations! My Irish ancestors were slaves brought here during the slave trade so that makes me just as entitled. Which black American salve owning ancestor was their master? I need.my money from their great great great grandfather!
^sounds like this guy needs a safe zone… awe… sound racist.. grow a pair
To he’ll with them. They can get a half paid ticket back to Africa but a true African is a working person. They will kill these lazy bastards over here if they moved back there
I have a free bullet I would LOVE to give you!
I’d give exactly what he deserves–a swift kick in the rear. Damnable parasite–worse than a tapeworm.
Ah, one question please. Who are the slaves in OUR country to whom the “reparations” are going to be paid?
F**k u losers get a real job
I read that some irish had been slaves, do I get money also?
Terrell Smith that is a lie that has been told for decades. There was no party switch. LBJ voted against the civil rights act which was the deciding vote. When JFK was in office the bill was reintroduced and passed by a republican majority and made it’s way to the presidents desk which was signed by LBJ in the hopes to win the black vote for democrats and it worked!
