They aren't trying to build a social movement with his campaign...that's exactly what had to be done to get him into a position to run away with the nomination against the will of the establishment. I honestly don't see how, or why you would try to separate social movements from politics when logically, and historically it's really the only way to get politicians to make moves toward your betterment.

And as far as him being president...his campaign slogan is "Not Me, Us", as in, he is letting the people behind him know, this is not about his political capital, it's about creating a coalition of people that can wield enough political power to actually stand up to the control system while also having someone in the white house who will actually stand up to corporations with them.

And being that he is clearly in the last quarter of his life, it's a movement that he understands is going to have to continue after he's dead and gone in order for it to mean anything, it can't just stop at a political campaign.
Didn’t you see where I said how one occurs out of a direct need for change while another exists purely out of structure?

I won’t kept regurgitating my points.

social movements arise directly from the mass, political movements attempt to sway the masses into the existing structure

I don’t like the American political structure. I think it has always and fundamentally kept certain groups down. And, more so, Americans, culturally, have issues that perpetuate these problems.

And you say they aren’t trying to build a social movement, that’s what has to be done. That’s exactly what I’m saying is fukked up about, the conflating of the two

:childplease:

Dude has been a Congressman for decades and is the front runner to become the next president.

Isn't HE "the power"?
Uh, no. He’s a democratic socialist who’s fought against powerful monied interests his whole career. His presidential campaign is the first ever major party candidacy that’s funded by grassroots supporters, accepting no corporate PAC money. The average campaign contribution is $18. That’s his whole campaign message and why it’s resonating and why the whole Democratic Party establishment is in panic mode trying to stop him. Are you not paying attention?

And you think "Not me, Us" didn't occur out of a direct need for change? It most certainly did and is a natural progression of the occupy wallstreet movement. And the people this movement are using their political power to support someone who agrees with and has a history of fighting for the things they care about. You don't gotta keep regurgitating anything but I seems like you're just chasing your tail, or you think that this is somehow a "vote or die" type of deal when it's much deeper than that, it's deeper than Bernie as a person, in or out of the white house. Even if you fukk with him and admire his conviction, he really is just a means to an end for the social movement that is responsible for his rise.

The new generation ain't listening to Public Enemy:mjlol:


Coming up next Bernie Sanders is going to be in Atlanta and tell the young generation to "Shake that Ballet Like A Salt Shaker" and vote the Yang Yang Twins :mjlol:


Then Bernie is going the shake up Houston and Tell Trump "Game Over" with guest LiL Flip:mjlol:
Public Enemy’s message is consistent with Bernie’s message so there’s no pandering here.

If he was pandering why the fukk would he pick Public Enemy in 2020 when they haven’t had a hit since the early 90’s? They’re together because they’re natural ideological bedfellows.

They’re playing on that fact, and I can’t respect that once it enters into a US political structure.

I don’t trust American politicians or the structure for change

It’s pretty simple what I’m saying

nor do I think, culturally, Americans are really about these ideas.

and now, black Americans who have had to live by these ideas, because of where they’ve been placed in the social structure, are being targeted to support an American political game that has never supported them.

you say I’m chasing my tail but I say y’all going back to the plantation

Public Enemy has an actual message that aligns with his message. Bernie's been collaborating with multiple socially conscious rappers since 2016. Who is the "new generation" listening to in that lane? It's not like John McCain randomly bringing fukking Pitbull up on stage solely because he was hot at the time. Were you more excited about the 15 minute Cardi B interview that Bernie did, was that your style?

Damn no way bro....since 2016 :gladbron:
My nikka Bernie with the shyts bro:gladbron:

The only way Bernie can connect with Black people is to bring rappers around:mjlol:.

Bernie said fukk tangibles for you nikkas, I brought something better, here is Chuck D and Flava Flav:mjlol:

You can't respect the civil rights act?

:why:

Neither does Bernie, hence him making it clear that while he is on our side, the ONLY thing that is going to change shyt is SOCIAL MOVEMENTS taking direct action against the establishment for what they want. He can't wave a wand and do this shyt, he's gonna need the people that say they want to change shyt to not only vote accordingly but hit the streets and fight for what should be basic human decency to combat the US political structure.

you say I’m chasing my tail but I say y’all going back to the plantation

Okay breh, I understand the cynicism when it comes to government, but I don't see how putting time, money and effort into rallying a social movement is comparable to going back to the plantation just because a politician happens to be a part of it.

With your logic, the government cannot ensure things to get better with quality of life, but they CAN take away things from you?

If thats the case, why fight in the first place? Why put effort in doing the right thing? Without accountability, there no point in anything......just roll over and die.....

I fukks with Chuck D and public enemy but all this Bernie support amongst black people got me:patrice:


I really don’t think Bernie gives a flying fukk about black people any more than any other white candidate.

They are all they same. The same people that said they ride for Bernie, were the same ones who voted for Trump.

BERNIE SANDERS VOTERS HELPED TRUMP WIN AND HERE'S PROOF
By Jason Le Miere On 8/23/17 at 5:04 PM EDT
U.S. BERNIE SANDERS DONALD TRUMP HILLARY CLINTON TRUMP

Bernie Sanders supporters switched their allegiance to Donald Trump in large enough numbers last November to sway the election for the real estate billionaire, according to an analysis of voter data released Tuesday by the blog Political Wire. Since Trump's shock victory over Hillary Clinton, much discussion has focused on the degree to which passionate Sanders supporters' refusal to embrace Clinton led to the Republican winding up in the White House.

Would you prefer I said, "Since 1965, when he was arrested protesting on Black people's behalf during the Civil Rights Movment"?

Or, "Since 1972, when he produced a video saying that the American Government did not give a shyt (his words) about the condition of Black people"?

Or, "Since 1988, when he caught a blow to the face during the campaign convention because had endorsed and campaigned for Jesse Jackson for president"?

Or, "Since 1991, when he declared that the 1991 Crime Bill would lead to disproportionate incarceration of black folk and it needed to be bushed"?

He's been talking about disproportionate incarcerate, police brutality against black folk, and the black-white wealth gap for 40 years. You really wanna push the low-ed TLR view that Bernie suddenly discovered Black inequality in 2016?


I can go back damn near 60 years if you really want.

In his second year at college, Sanders made national news. On a frigid Tuesday afternoon in January, 1962 the 20-year-old from Brooklyn stood on the steps of University of Chicago administration building and railed in the wind against the college’s housing segregation policy. “We feel it is an intolerable situation, when Negro and white students of the university cannot live together in university owned apartments,” the young bespectacled student told the few-dozen classmates gathered there. Then he led them into the building in protest, and camped the night outside the president’s office. It was Chicago’s first civil rights sit-in.

Bernie said fukk tangibles for you nikkas, I brought something better, here is Chuck D and Flava Flav:mjlol:

I come from a family who had to pool money together to get ONE nikka out the bunch into college...I'm looking at future where I may not have to slave and save to get my kids into college or trade school.
I lost my mother to health issues that could have been prevented had she been insured, and that's AFTER she got home from being in prison half of my life from having to hustle.

I could go on, but just off those two alone...a Bernie Sanders presidency that nets black people guaranteed health care, living wages, abolishment of private prisons and drug reform, education, child care and jobs that can't be exported oversees are SLIGHTLY more appealing, and certainly more 'tangible' than Chuck D.

And in case anyone tries to claim those were one-off instances, you should listen to Nina Turner, his national campaign co-chair who has been working with him for five years and is on a lot of short lists for his VP pick.




And more examples:



















Bernie is not doing anything only for Black people, all of the programs he puts out there for Black people, other racial and ethnic groups benefits from them.
