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:
Reparations for what. Seems to me there are 4th And 5th generations drawing free every thing already. He wasn’t there unless he is over 150 years old and I wasn’t either.
If this takes place I will be completely blown back its insane. How is someone entitled to money foe what?? What are they owed money for??
Get a fricken job. No body owes you.
Get a job and earn it
F**k them
What do you mean your ancestors, blacks owned slaves too. So are they your ancestors too?
get a dam job.
Thousands of Union soldiers died to stop slavery . I think that bill is P.I.F.
This country is not what it is because of free labor from slaves. Slavery was here before we were even a country of these Unites States. And as far as blacks, they have had since the 1960’s to improve. That’s like 50 something years you guys have been teaching your children to hate the white man. Get rid of your racism and it might change. It is your fault not mine, me or any of my ancestors owned slaves either.
MOST OF THESE BLACKS HAVE BEEN LIVING OFF OF WE THE PEOPLE FOR GENERATIONS. TIME FOR THEM TO GET THEIR ASSES TO WORK. WE THE PEOPLE ARE MAD AS HELL AND WE AREN’T GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE…
