In reply to the discussion: No other candidate in this race has been as strong of an advocate for racial justice as Bernie has [View all]sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)Brutality this week when he stated that this has been an ongoing problem in this country, but was not given the attention it should have been given. NOW, he stated, it IS getting that attention finally. Then he spoke about how it ought to be addressed. And he did so in front of three Police Officers.
He also spoke about racism in this country.
So maybe stop making stuff up and start listening to the candidates. Bernie has been involved in this issue all of his life and has given much thought to how best to address it. Unlike those who give lip service to the problem, he has stood up when it wasn't exactly popular to do so.
I get the feeling sometimes that all this 'concern' is nothing more than an ugly way to try to smear someone who is now looking like more of a threat than originally predicted, to the status quo.
And I'm sure there will be plenty more of it.
This particular attempt to smear him is not going to fly. Better to try to find something else I suppose, and I'm sure we'll be seeing plenty of it.
Too bad people don't take a lesson from Bernie who, as he has stated, has 'never run a negative ad in my political career' and let's talk about real issues, not engage once again in these personal attacks that have no basis in fact.
