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:
No one alive today was ever a slave. You’ll get NOTHING you monkey fuckers!
They were paid. They received 2000 years of technology for about 230 years of slavery. Alex Haley found his roots and they were still living in grass huts.
this chit pisses me off soo much….. i worked 18 plus yrs of my life to be put out of work for 4 yrs straight not making a dime and not taking a dime in welfare or food stamps. they think they deserve reparations???? 19 trillion in debt that i am very sure they helped put us in and they want reparations? HELL FUKN NOO
Even my computer is “feeling the Bern”…. firmly to friendly !
More “Hope and Change”, I guess !
because of slavery they get to live in one of the most advanced societies on earth rather than well any place in Africa, sure it was a crappy way to start but at this stage in the game they should be thankful. Most of their family lines would be dead if not for slavery they were captives of conquer tribes they would have been slaughtered if not for their value as slaves. Dead or living in Africa yep they definitely should be grateful.
The Irish were actually the 1st slaves in America. You know what they did?? Went out and achieved! We owe blacks NOTHING!
they want reparations? tell them to return the welfare and food stamp payments with interest. then we talk.
than they had better be sending me a check not a one of these people no what slavery even is let alone get paid for something they never done
hell the american people as a whole are being controlled like cattle.
reparations? nobody alive today was a slave or owned slaves. if thats the case how about reparations for the american indians or the jews that were enslaved, tortured by egyptians and romans.
