In reply to the discussion: POC aren't buying the "Bernie's been fighting for you all his life so you should vote for him" claim [View all]senz
(11,945 posts)She's too busy with her 1% cronies. Too busy kissing up to Lloyd Blankfein and Henry Kissinger.
She insults AAs, calls them "super predators," tells them she'll "just talk to white people," has them physically removed from her high class fundraising functions.
She used racist attacks against Barack Obama in 2008 ("hardworking white people", suggested he might be a Muslim, showed photos in Obama in African dress).
She enthusiastically promoted Welfare Reform and the 1994 Crime Bill, both aimed at People of Color, both harming them.
Bernie has fought for Civil Rights for minorities his entire life. He knows what's going in; his heart is close to it. Bernie is not high-handed and dismissive, ever. He has NEVER talked down to AAs, never insulted them.
Hillary cannot hold a candle to Bernie when it comes to support of PoC and other minorities.
