Public Enemy catering to their white fanbase. Nothing to see.
Bernie Sanders teaming up Public Enemy March 1st in LA
- Thread starter you're NOT "n!ggas"
- Start date
No he said slavery reparations were divisive to America but tried to cut that cheque through the Marijuana industry.Damn no way bro....since 2016
My nikka Bernie with the shyts bro
The only way Bernie can connect with Black people is to bring rappers around.
Bernie said fukk tangibles for you nikkas, I brought something better, here is Chuck D and Flava Flav
He knows Cacs and how to maneuver them.
Some of yall just see things on a surface level.
Sanders campaign has built in Latino outreach. Look up Chuck Rocha. They invested a lot in community and not parachuting into places. Most campaigns don’t have what they managed to build in the last year.See what you're saying.
I think Bernie cares about everyone more equally than most and he wants to help everyone.
However............I don't get the sense he'd ever put our needs ahead of the group. Some of that is smart on his part because throwing 100% behind us will get him beat in the election. But......if he's not willing to really stand with us (and have that reparations convo) now, not sure he'll do it once he gets in the WH.
He's less corrupt than 99% of politicians but he's still a politician. He'd cape strongly for illegals more easily than reparations. That's not a good sign. Latinos love him too much which makes meanyway. Guaranteed they'd vote for Biden if Bernie started caping harder for blacks.
Their black outreach has been way better this cycle and Bernie has put black folk in positions of leadership in his campaign. They could be doing better of course. But like @Rhakim said his policies would help black people on a macro level.
No one is saying Bernie is a messiah or gonna solve our problems. The man’s campaign slogan is #NotMeUs.
No shid is going to change unless you have a movement putting on pressure on elected officials.
You seriously know nothing about Bernie Sanders' candidacy? The corporations and Israel lobby are in overdrive trying to stop him. Bernie Sanders doing things for corporations and Jews is one of the weirdest things I've seen someone suggest.

I hope people have checked out this James E. Clyburn plan -- they are calling "reparations" and addressing inequalities -- when -- which isn't. It's basic rights that those citizens should have been getting anyway.
FACT: Bernie DOES NOT SUPPORT REPARATIONS. It's not "politically feasible" -- he only signed the H.R. 40 due to pressure -- he does not support reparations -- and therefore should REMOVE HIS NAME FROM H.R. 40.
FACT: Bernie thinks supporting Clyburn 10-20-30 Proposal addresses inequalities for Black communities -- with the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow -- it CAN'T. Reparations CAN. Also, Clyburn's plan includes everyone and non-Black areas -- so I wonder how much of that funding will go to those areas?

And how it this reparations "rebranded"
How does Bernie plan to address lasting inequalities from the legacy of slavery?
Bernie supports two policy proposals to address these inequalities. At a CNN Town Hall, Bernie expressed support for Jim Clyburn’s 10-20-30 proposal.
Clyburn’s proposal would make sure that at least 10% of Rural Development investments would go to communities in persistent poverty. These communities are those where at least 20% of the population has lived below the poverty line for the past 30 years or longer.
Bernie also supports H.R.40, a bill that would create a commission to study reparations for American descendants of slaves and make recommendations to Congress for appropriate remedies.

10|20|30 Formula to Fight Persistent Poverty | Congressman James E. Clyburn
In the United States, there are 485 counties where 20 percent or more of the population has been living below the poverty line for the last 30 years. These counties mired in persistent poverty are as diverse as our great nation; Appalachian communities in Kentucky and North Carolina, Native American communities in South Dakota and Alaska, Latino communities in Arizona and New Mexico and African American communities in Mississippi and South Carolina. They lack access to quality schools, affordable quality health care and adequate job opportunities.
This is not a partisan issue. In 2009, these counties were represented in Congress by 43 Democrats and 84 Republicans. Democrats represented 149 of them, with a total population of 8.8 million; Republicans 311, with a total population of 8.3 million; and 14, with a total population of 5.3 million, were split between Republicans and Democrats.
When we drafted the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act, I fought to ensure that no communities were left behind by including a provision that directed at least 10 percent of Rural Development investments be made in persistent poverty communities, counties where 20 percent or more of the population had lived below the poverty line for the last 30 years. This became known as the 10-20-30 formula.
I am urging Congress to include the 10-20-30 approach in future funding proposals and expand it to all federal agencies. It doesn’t require additional funding -- only the stipulation that at least ten percent of any agency’s appropriated programmatic funds be invested in persistent poverty communities. We are only as strong as our weakest link, and these communities must be included in our efforts to get the entire nation back on track.
I hope you will join me in this effort.
Sincerely,
James E. Clyburn
Assistant Democratic Leader

Why do people say shyt like this without reading through the thread at all?
Check out this interviewer trying to trap him on a busing question, Bernie hits back remembering his entire quote from 1972 and then schools the interviewer on Black issues. He's reeling that shyt off the top of his head, he clearly fukks with that agenda.
Or this ad. What other candidate would give a Black woman, especially one who was just an activist, this much time to share her story and what she's about? What other candidate would quote fukking MALCOLM X in a positive way in a campaign ad?
And more examples:

Whether you fukk with Bernie Sanders or not Public Enemy has more than earned the benefit of the doubt.

And you think that's OK to say?
To imply that we get "reparations" via marijuana? Do you understand what's owed?
Look, we are not on that you can't stand up and speak directly about and for us anymore. SO, if he thinks reparations is Divisive -- then he should not be pandering for our vote.
That's so damn disrespectful to say. Reparations isn't even a debate -- it's a debt. I can't believe other Black folks are co-signing this shyt.

So, he wants us to sell weed to work for money that’s owed to us? That’s a good idea to you?
All of this talk about what Bernie would on a national level, when he did none of this to entice black folks to move into his state
As a senator, he could’ve pushed these initiatives in Vermont and gave black folks jobs and other incentives to move there. He didn’t. Didn’t even try. So how the hell am I supposed to believe he’s going to do it in a split congress?

And this is not an endorsement tweet for Bloomberg - before the Bernie girls coming stepping up.
He already said he does think reparations is divisive not because HE thinks so but to the masses. Opinion Votes have shown that. This isn't about someone telling you you aren't owed. He's trying to find another avenue to deliver some restitution with less opposition..
That isn't pandering. If you don't like his views you have other people to look into.
Don't ask me the bolded again.. I think it's ok for a politician to be as grounding as he can. He won't say anything to get elected if that's what you want then that is pandering. You are mad that he is being honest about the difficulty of said task...

Wow
Here comes the “b-b-but his ideas were too progressive” from the Bernie crowd. He’s gotten nothing done in 60 years of politics.
