Politico: Democrats Underperforming W/ Black Voters

[xoxodede]

If You broke and you doing actions that ensure a better future by taking the proper steps, I wish you the best.

If You broke and you telling people not to vote or not to do anything long term, thats crabbish and ignorant. Theres a difference between the 2.

I'm not -- but I would surely not shame ANYONE for being broke. It's sad -- and shows low character and terrible values.

I have never and will never tell anyone not to vote -- never has anyone that has identified as seriously supporting ADOS initiatives - aka reparations and ethnic identity on this forum.

Take care

Imagine if MLK had that mentality when fighting for black people rights?

Using MLK as a weapon against black people?

Reparations: Many black Americans are still experiencing social and economic disadvantages as a result slavery in America. Bernie supports establishing a commission to study and research reparations for American descendants of slaves as well as investing resources into distressed communities.

LIE: Bernie does not support reparations. And it's not politically feasible to pass. Should be removed from it website.

-------------


Civil Rights Record:
Bernie’s civil rights record has earned him one of the highest scores given to a U.S. Senator and a 100 percent score from the NAACP.

LIE: Come on....



------------
Crime BILL:
In Congress, Bernie opposed the 1991 crime bill that he believed would disproportionately punish people of color — especially African Americans.

LIE:
Sen. Bernie Sanders: 'Not happy' I voted for 'terrible' 1994 crime bill - CNNPolitics
Bernie Sanders voted for the 1994 tough-on-crime law. But it's complicated.

Breh, you picked three things at random out of over 50 and your receipts against them are something you made up in your own head, a rant by some random White Clinton/Biden supporter whose entire Twitter feed is just anti-Bernie hate, and your own inability to tell the difference between 1991 and 1994.


None of the three things you list as receipts even address the three points you listed before them, so how can those be "lies'?



Edit: Wait, aren't you the same poster who was co-signing Ann Coulter and tried to claim she'd been on the pro-reparations bandwagon for years but now you're trying to claim that Bernie Sanders is a disingenuous anti-Black hater?

So, listed sources are only receipts when you do it now? I see, I see... how we doing it. Us, simple negroes aint good enough. Well damn!

Wait, Bernie didn't support the Crime Bill? The links say otherwise Sir.

And...did you just not say -- he said -- it's isn't politically feasible -- he even said he doesn't support it. So - what are you saying..LOL.

And... lastly -- going to two sit-in's in Chicago -- doesn't really mean much.

I went to to sit-in's (meetings of a few people) for a Chipotle in my area -- I guess I am a Chipotle Civil Rights Activist. shyt, I should have gotten arrested. I'll remember to get a photo-op next time.

And he should be a Civil Rights ICON in a 98 % ALL WHITE TOWN!

-- And there are just three people of color for every 97 whites.

How Bernie Sanders Vermont Career Could Hurt Him

What about this...

Here's How Black People Actually Fare in Bernie Sanders' Home State

Like Old Kanye said... Bernie doesn't care about Black people

[Captain Crunch]

So not only are we dumb for demanding shyt out of our vote, but we're now advocating for people to stay home and not do shyt despite multiple posts from us about policital engagement.

All this aggression shows we on the right track, y'all really in your feelings

Stay mad, this is just the beginning

Respectfully, everything listed could be reappropriate for white people. In terms of stopping redlining, that would really only help upper middle class black people. There are quite a few HBCU’s with more white people than black. of the top of my head Northern Kentucky University White People Are Becoming The Majority Of HBCU Students, Report Finds

How would ending racial discrimination in loans and mortgages be "appropriated" by white people?

How would protecting minority communities from pollutant exposure be "appropriated" by white people?

How would addressing the underlying health causes of Black infant mortality and Black maternal mortality be "appropriated" by White people?

How would H.R. 40 be "appropriated" by White people?

How would ending redlining be "appropriated" by White people. Ending redlining can help any Black person looking to create real wealth via home ownership because it broadens the range of neighborhoods they can move into and the stability of the investment. That HAS to be part of ending the racial wealth gap. Even for the Black folk not directly helped, having more Black folk with more stable mortgage investments vicariously would improve the state of the entire community.

I have a LOT of trouble believing that significant assistance for HBCUs will actually be appropriated by White people. The article you linked says that only 17% of students in HBCUs across the country are White and 3/4 of HBCUs are still 80% or more African-American. It also says that the main reason some HBCUs are accepting more White students is because of declining enrollment and revenue. If you gave HBCUs additional financial support AND made tuition free, both of which Sanders is proposing, then you address both those issues and schools wouldn't be pressured to accept more White students.

Hard to know what you mean that a federal jobs guarantee, universal health care, raise to a living wage, etc. would be "appropriated" by white people . Yes, white people would get them, but Black folk would too. Ending unemployment, non-living wages, student loan debt, housing and mortgage discrimination, and lack of health care insurance among black folk would all significantly increase the median $17,000 base wealth of the black community without having nearly as big an effect on the median $180,000 base wealth of the white community.

Try not to cry next time I criticize you for your libertarian drivel - voting isn’t a personal transaction - it’s the literal election of a representative for legislative or executive purposes

You Are not entitled to my vote

the nerve of you Democrat dikk lickers

I just can't waste any more time on someone who can't figure out that 1991 and 1994 are different years with different bills or that U.S. Senators don't govern their home states.

You shouldn't -- so don't. Cause it's all a waste. Cause Mr. Anti-Black - I've Fallen and Can't Get Up - isn't worth the trouble.

I do hope that one day you get that Medicare for all and student loans wipe out. Maybe one day you can support reparations for Black Americans. One day we will get there - but right now it's just not politically feasible.

Many blessings!

I do support reparations, I've been supporting reparations on this board since before you even joined.


I just realized that the same person who called Ann Coulter "an ally" is calling Bernie Sanders "anti-Black".

The Russians wouldn't even make a troll this ridiculous because no one would believe it.

I see you added Anne Coulter... yall love to bring this ONE thing I did wrong up every couple of months - cause you have nothing else.

So, in one thread -- I didn't know WHO Ann Coulter was -- YUP -- didn't know. So, I said something stupid - like she could be an ally. I was informed a post later who she was -- her history, beliefs, etc -- - then I came back two post later after learning who she was -- and apologized and said I was sorry. Lesson learned. I'm not too proud to admit mistakes -- and when I'm wrong.

I admitted that I didn't know her - and who she was -- and that I was wrong.

Next. : )

Obama’s ability to get black turnout in states like Ohio and Florida was key in terms of his winning those elections.

No, if you supported reparations you wouldn't be up here trying to get Black Americans to vote for someone who doesn't support Reparations -- even yourself has stated has admitted isn't feasibly possible.

Respectfully, you don't think Mr. Sanders should remove his name from H.R. 40 and stop using it to pander to African-American/Black American voters? As he is using it to gas-light us and front like he support something he clearly doesn't -- and doesn't believe is possible.

Seriously, I think you know I like your contributions - and have for quite some time -- but I have major issue with this Bernie push on here -- especially when it's not being presented truthfully and real about calling him to task about his Black agenda and views.

You posted that Black Issues link about Bernie Sanders -- yet -- most of it is lies -- I'm sorry -- it is. And can be easily fact-checked.

Do y'all think that's not going to happened?

Do you think it's ok for him to continue to throw Black people in with "people of color" and act like we don't have a unique history -- with specific issues/problems?
