Typical. And during his last days -- when he had "changed."

No. You do. My avatar is a reflection of the idea of God that YOU have in YOUR own mind. My child, you have internalized white supremacy.
Sanders is not president at the moment, so who will pay for these committees? And what do you mean I gave you specific policies. I said them in my example, what do you think specific policies means, do you mean plan names? I can post Sanders plans if you want me to, as I am the only one who can do that.I want the Commission for the Study to be approved --- then we can create the panel of Black experts, economist, lawyers, historians and other specialist to figure out the full owed debt - the issues and then create the plan. But, this can be down during Sanders terms and can be pushed by him.
On your other statement -- we need specific policies.
I'm a black american who's family has been here for generations. I would like you to throw any number or source rather than just saying the word reparationsStop it. And stop throwing out numbers for fun. You aren't ADOS huh?

yeah, it is what it is with these guysThese people don't care...LOL
And like MLK said... any progressive movement or party that doesn't put the needs of the Black/Negro party first -- is a party due to fail.
How was that showing support for Wallace?We don't need proof Bernie is a racist. It's well known.
On supporting Wallace. I am sure he just though - Wallace was a poor white man who deserves understanding.
A lot of yall cant hide the blatant Stockholm syndromeThis is just plain corporate propaganda
But its cool. We expect more and more propaganda pieces as Bernie steamrolls the rest of the corporate Democrats. It only works in his favor in the end. These hit jobs only strengthen his base. People like you are just on the wrong side of history.
Sweetie -- he would support the H.R. 40 Commission -- promising to start a commission if it hasn't been started on DAY ONE -- and vow to follow through on the findings of the report to help advocate and pass reparations. It's aint hard. The same shyt he is doing for every other plan.
And.. sure Jan.
I expect the goal posts to be moved now
Bernie Sanders Backs Committee to Study Racial Reparations | National Review
Senator Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) said Friday that if he is elected president in 2020 he would sign legislation that would create a commission to explore the payment of reparations to African Americans.
Following his remarks at Al Sharpton’s National Action Network Conference, Sanders was asked whether he would support a bill, introduced by Representative Sheila Jackson Lee (D., Texas), that would form a commission to study the institution of American slavery and devise a plan to compensate living descendants of slaves.
“If the House and the Senate pass that bill, of course I would sign it. There needs to be a study. But I think what we need to do is to pay real attention to the most distressed communities in America,” Sanders said.
The bill, which was dubbed H.R. 40 in a nod to the government’s promised provision of “40 acres and a mule” to newly freed slaves after the Civil War, has already received the backing of a host of 2020 Democratic hopefuls, including Senators Cory Booker of New Jersey and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, former representative Beto O’Rourke of Texas, and Representative Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii.
“In short, the Commission aims to study the impact of slavery and continuing discrimination against African-Americans, resulting directly and indirectly from slavery to segregation to the desegregation process and the present day,” Jackson Lee said in a statement announcing the bill’s introduction in January. “The commission would also make recommendations concerning any form of apology and compensation to begin the long delayed process of atonement for slavery.”
Sanders has proven more hesitant to embrace reparations than many of his primary opponents and recently said direct payments to the descendants of slaves would not be the best way to help “distressed communities.”
“I think what we have got to do is pay attention to distressed communities — black communities, Latino communities, and white communities. And as president, I pledge to do that,” Sanders said in interview on ABC’s The View.
Sure, Jan. He has made his stance clear.
These anti-Sanders people are insane:DeDe - Bernie should support HR 40!
*sees proof of Bernie supporting HR 40!
DeDe - HR 40 is not enough!
Embarrassing take and predictable goal post moving.
