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:
That’s funny
Horse shi*t.
Not one person in the United States today has ever seen slavery
I won’t pay one penny to any lazy$#%&!@*person
How about retribution for we as Jewish People for what Germany did to my ancestors during WW2?
The point is, there is no one alive today that was a slave, is a slave or will be a slave or ever picked cotton. Thus , no reparations.
my point of the post was reparations are foolish because the people who deserved them are long dead. But yes the period you speak of was an atrocity to humanity. 🙁
He can start by going to Africa and find who sold the slaves, starting with the Muslims who slave them, and ask them to cough up the money they owe them for reparations. We, whose families never owned any salve don’t owe them s penny cut in half. So don’t expect me to pay s for something I don’t have to. Go get a life, a job and stop living off other people’s money.
S**t like this just helps keep race relations at a low. But it’s job security for the real problem people that make a living out of keeping people all railed up. Why can’t everyone remember there have been many discriminated groups that have been wronged but learned to moved on. Jews,Chinese,Italian,Irish.women just to name a few but I don’t see them begging for money.
Scott Coen, what in the world makes you think these leeches would give up Welfare and Food Stamps???? They are looking for reparations IN ADDITION to these programs!!
What the heck….I never owned people…..and these NEVER picked cotton
