He has never done anything for black people except be Obama's VP. It's embarrassing.
Funny how these #Notangiblesnovote people scream at the top of their lungs about reparations, but never supported Tom Steyer or Marianne Williamson like that. The second and final candidate that supported reparations, dropped out the race. At this point, they were never really that serious about what they claim what they stand for. I didnt mind Bernie not getting 1st place in SC at all, just that Steyer would have been a lot better alternative than Joe Biden for the top pick.
So all this wasnt about reparations, because if it it truly was, they would be on some #BernieBros type shyt and donating relentlessly, while organizing on some Black Panthers shyt. All this was, is voter suppression of both the reparations candidates, the progressives, and the Dem establishment.

This is what you reduce their experience to...just wow.
even if this, off base, analysis is how their lives went, they quite rightly should be able to sit back and enjoy stability after literally being the generation getting their heads bashed in to obtain stable middle class lives
I'm not reducing their experience breh. Just trying to give some insight for the people bashing these voters because they aren't for "Revolution". I read a lot of comments disparaging these people today. A group that includes my own parents. Maybe that didn't translate well on a message board, but I'm not mad that they voted for Biden

This is what happens when you blindly give your vote to someone without any conditions.
Why should he do anything for you when you're just going to vote for him regardless?

Older voters lived through the civil rights era and managed to make themselves a living. Reparations are probably not a priority for them. Young people see things differently. I can understand and respect both positions.
Seems more like a rejection of Bernie's(who also hasn't promised anything to blacks) path forward than anything.This is what happens when you blindly give your vote to someone without any conditions.
I think the biggest share will go to Biden and Warren but significant to Bernie too. It shouldn't have a big impact on the race other than maybe getting Warren up above the bar in a few more places. She really wishes he had dropped out before Iowa/New Hampshire.
Don't turn into one of them.
Bernie has specifically promised the Black community that he will fight for free tuition at HBCU's, extra funding at HBCU's, end redlining in the mortgage industry, end banking and insurance discrimination, reinstall the voting rights act, end gerrymandering, end environmental discrimination against minority communities, immediately study and address the massive disparities in child mortality and maternal mortality among Black mothers, address racial discrepancies in police behavior including the hiring and promotion of more Black cops, institute Rep. Clyburn's 30-20-10 plan, and enact H.R. 40.
More broadly, he has promised to help the Black community as well as other systematically disadvantaged communities by instituting free health care for all, make tuition free at public schools, cover all associated college costs (room, board, books, fees) for students from families making under $25,000, have a mandatory federal investigation of every police-related shooting, end private prisons, end the war on drugs, legalize marijuana, substantially reduce incarceration, limit marijuana distribution to those who had previously been affected by anti-drug laws rather than putting it in corporate hands, re-enfranchise ex-felons, abolish burdensome ID laws and make voter registration an automatic process, end cash bail and reform asset forfeitures, raise the minimum wage to $15, and institute a federal jobs guarantee.
Saying he "hasn't promised anything" is bullshyt. Bernie wishes to fundamentally overhaul the system in ways that will substantially change the lives of Black folk. Biden has basically fought for the status quo. It's a night and day difference.
More performative "ill fight for" rhetoric… he offers little to no specifics as to how and seems to rely on his plan for income inequality to answer all questions.The college stuff... I means its great, but I believe that if we aren’t addressing k-12 we aren’t serious about education and the disparities within/stemming from it.
Warren on the other hand offers specifics complete with dollar amounts and budgetary offsets… she has section on her site dedicated specifically to entreponikkas and breh farmers. She separates k-12 from college and has comprehensive plans for both.She’s also open to reparations.
With Steyer gone shes the wave for any black person who places race before class.
IMO of course.

And I talked about this before, it's Congress who writes the specific plans anyway, the executive branch just sets the agenda and then signs and enforces them, so why do you think that Warren's plans will make a meaningful difference in the next administration when she'll get to put those same plans into practice in the Senate if Bernie is the president?
Plans do matter, of course, if they are indicative of whether a candidate is serious about Black issues or not. I've already spammed Bernie's history, statements, videos, and agenda on here enough times to suggest that he is extremely aware of Black disparities in America and committed to addressing him. Which of Warren's plans do you not believe he would sign?
