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:
JIGGA-BOO-HOO.
USA kills Yemeni people
Sanders can pay for it himself
Decades… Johnson started it
F u and the horse you dose in on
f**k you, get to work
In todays society people work for what they get, there are no slaves, there are no slave owners. This was hundreds of years ago. I’m sure my relatives were mistreated in some way shape or form back in the past, but do I say people owe me things for what happened to my relatives? No, and yet some people believe that because their relatives went through hard times, they are owed things. If this is the way things work, no one would be working because it was hard times for everyone back in the past. Everyone went through hard times. Some jumped out of windows when the stock market crashed. Does that mean the stock market owes the relatives of these poor souls that died because of the crash? Times have changed for the better, and yet people still try to get free things and benefits because of something that effected their relatives lives, not theirs. People can still remember their past and their relatives from the past, but they should not use it as a crutch. they need to move on with their lives, forge ahead, and be the best that they can be living their own life. They need to be remembered for their accomplishments, and not trying to get things off their past relatives hardships because everyone living today can say their relatives lived through hard times.
Reparations? How about going back to Africa and finding the people who sold your people as slaves… they might still be alive… ok… after a few hundred years, even they aren’t alive… but slavery is… go back there and repair that…
FU and the horse you rode in on.
Took the words right out of my mouth!
