In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders is going to have to speak on more issues affecting black people. [View all]bravenak
(34,648 posts)When I saw it it reminded me of project zero which had just come out. I figure he modeled it after that.
I think he has a good platform and now needs to bring his message to us and tell us how he will help BLACK people. Not, 'blacks will benefit most!'
But actually talk about and to us specifically like he thought about it.
See, he has the platform that proves that these programs do not reach us. He can see that money is funnelled to 'good (white)' schools from 'bad (black) schools. Teachers treat kids differntky based on race. Cops. Landlords. Office admin. Hospitals. Etc. how do we get our share with all these people finding ways to leave us out. Drug felons cant get food stamps. Why? Made drugs illegal to lock up blacks, now we can starve them if they are not in jail to make money for the corp.
How does he reconcile the racism with the way the programs are administered? How does he help with discrimination now? Does he notice it? Does he see? Or is he still running this color blind plan that wont be color blind as soon as color shows up to collect.
People say it will be run fairly. Nothing ever has before so why trust it? It never gets run sans racism/discrimination.
