I was on vacation otherwise I'd have gone to the damned rally. Looks like I picked a hell of a week to take a break from reality.

Bernie completely dismissed Charlamagne's reparations question and started talking about how other communities are distressed as well. Sort of condescendingly as well.

And from 2016 when he first ran until now, why doesnt he have his tax returns ready to provide? He sounds like he's doing the Trump, I'll show, I'll show em and then say bam, I got the nomination, people dont care.

Bernie Sanders needs to polish up his response regarding reparations, he clearly doesn't believe in a cash payout to the black community and he just needs to come out and say it like it is .. he speaks with so much conviction and passion regarding all other issues but this is one that has him stuttering/stammering and it makes him come off like he's supplicating the black vote.

His agenda already impacts the black community more than anybody else -- he needs to have confidence in that message and just tell it like it is even if it's going to turn off a certain collection of folks who won't be able to look past his "hard no" to reparations.

Also, on the surface i understand why Bernie Sanders is getting so much criticism on this issue, where other candidates may not be. Sanders, whether he likes it or not, is a typical looking old old white man running for office, and old white men running for office have dominated washington for centuries and none of those people have been looking out for black folks. So he has to fight off dozens of years of typical white male stigma/stereotype politicians have earned with black and minority communities.

Sanders an old old white man running for office and old white men running for office haven't really been looking out for the best interests of the minority community in this country. So he has to fight off that stigma/stereotype that he's just another affluent old white man running for office who isn't really fighting on behalf of those who dont look like him.
I think he’s been pretty clear.

1. He’s against cash payouts
2. He believes his other proposals will close racial disparities.


Outside of changing his position not sure he can be more clear. The only ground he can give is support to study the subject.

At this point I’ve heard all I need to from him on the subject. He don’t care and that’s alright atleast he was more straightforward this time.

You must be pro reparations but pro Bernie so you have decided to provide no substance in your response because you can't explain away his stance. Not even sure why you bothered responding, you must want some attention?

Edit: I see you were in there providing absolutely nothing either.
I responded to it that way because your second point is nonsensical.

The first point is getting redundant. He’s responded to the question 3 times in the exact same way. So if you’re not satisfied with the answer just don’t vote for him next year.

This. Though I’d disagree that he wasn’t clear the first 2 times. He said the exact same thing.

I wont. You responded that way because thats all your capable of. There is no reason for him not releasing his tax returns as every other candidate has.
