By request...some comments from Bernie Sanders 2014 NPR Interview

12. First, let me apologize if my post sounded curt

I didn't mean it to sound that way, but it may have seemed dismissive or mean.

And thanks for sharing your evolution on the economic and racial justice issues.

I will admidt to a bit of exasperation--and ecstasy--about Sen Warren's comments. They are so important, especially coming from someone so admired by progressives, and I hope will help provide something of a framework for other white progressives in speaking about racial justice. My exasperation comes from the fact that her comments come in the wake of other African Americans being dismissed for saying many of the same things she has. And I'm especially thinking about people here at DU who have been timed out for offering critiques of a pure economic justice narrative.
