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:
Get money from toss who first enslaved you, fool!
We want reparation for welfare and loss of life and the cost of the Cival war!
i wil pay reparations to move them back where they belong !
U will get nothing for free,I’m pretty sure your dumbass was not a slave! Therefore u do not deserve anything that u didn’t work for!!
There will be NO monetary reparations for slavery. So stop getting the illiterate masses in a panic.
They owe my ancestors money for housing them
Reparations ?!?!?! What have our taxes been paying for . Welfare is reparations enough !
Totally obsurd, just looking for another free handout. Our government is crazy for even considering it.
I got your payment right here. Come get it.
When will these dumb asses learn,there is no such thing as free. Freedom even comes at a price. Someone eles is paying for it all. I rather bust my tail off and have a little then do nothing and have alot. Least i can take pride in that i earned it. What has this country come too
