In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders is going to have to speak on more issues affecting black people. [View all]99th_Monkey
(19,326 posts)I appreciate that. Are you thinking more of a town hall type setting? with 100-200 folks?
And even with rallies, I'm always a little put-off how Bernie (even in SC) leaves his
discussion about racial injustice to happen towards the end of his talk, rather than
weaving it into his message as an integral part of it, or even leading with it.
My imagination is that Bernie feels he needs to keep focused on income inequality, which
effects ALL of us, and stuff like $15 mim. wage which also effects us all; BUT I truly
believe there needs to be some kind of fusion & integration (if you will) of his messages
re Income inequality and his message re racial equality; such that the race factor is not
relegated to the last 10 minutes of a 1 hour 15 minute speech.
Do you agree? or where do you agree, or maybe not agree?
