The Vermont senator fielded questions on social justice from members of the the African-American and Muslim communities at a Town Hall in Milwaukee.
Democratic hopeful Bernie Sanders held a Town Hall meeting tonight in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The senator from Vermont was introduced by African-American Reverend Marcus Hart, and fielded questions from a diverse panel of members from representatives of local minority groups, including a Muslim-Americans.
Sanders said he wasn't going to allow people to keep summoning "racial hatred," after he was asked a question from a Muslim-American woman, concerning what he would do to combat incitement from his Republican counterparts.
The democratic socialist said that people such as Republican frontrunner Donald Trump were using classic "demagoguery" to divide the country instead of dealing with significant issues surrounding economic justice.
"The middle class in the U.S. is declining...who can they scapegoat?" Sanders asked. "Young Muslim kids, For the first time in their lives, are scared. Hate-mongering from Trump and others is unacceptable."
In the next round of questions, panelists continued with the need for change.
"Listening to you today, and I don't care if you can't get enough delegates to win, I think things need to change, so I'll vote for you on Tuesday,"another African-American panelist said, going on to ask Sanders about his plans to ensure minorities had access to jobs and education.
Sanders promised that "In the first 100 days that I am in office, Congress will have legislation to raise the minimum wage to $15 dollars an hour."
In his view, "everything is related to everything," and as long as minorities and women are without economic power, there can be justice. Sanders concluded by thanking the panelist who asked him "great" questions along with his supporters across the U.S., and left to the song "Starman" by the late David Bowie.
Economic Justice = Free Stuff.
What does this old draft-dodging, Vermont commie fag think we owe anything to his Islamterrorist pals for. America wasn’t involved in the Crusades.
This isn’t going to involve large plots of land and beasts of burden is it?
If Comrade Colonel Sanders were an honest man, he’d reveal that his plans for middle class economic justice involve eradicating the middle class and making everyone that is a member a “contributor” to the “common good”.
In this case, the “common good” is free stuff for everyone who doesn’t want to work as hard as the “contributors”.
The end result is everyone makes the same (except the ruling class) and everyone is miserable with half having their “justice” served.
On a side note, I wonder if the Muslims would cut off the head of that little bird that landed on his podium.
Come to think of it, should he somehow win, I wonder how the Muslim citizens would feel about a Jewish man being their “leader”. Would we get to see any interviews where the reports ask this of Muslims much like they ask domestic Nazis how they feel about Republican candidates?
How pathetic.
Uh, Bernie - “Muslim” is not a race. You are an infidel, albeit a useful one. But they’ll come to get you too.
Does Sanders have to go back to his room and have a long, hot shower - or does he enjoy groveling?
Bernie Sanders and fellow Marxists truly can’t think their way out of a box. What really makes me mad is how easily Sanders has convinced young people that his facade term, “Social Democrat” is something in any way different than Communism. The wool is being pulled over the eyes of a lot of young people who don’t know history and don’t know that the term “Social Democrat,” as a smokescreen for Communism, was coined by Communist father Vladimir Lenin!
These Marxists spout claims that sound good until one actually thinks about the fact that there is no logic to them. Colleges and even a seat in Congress is no cure for the delusion of the drugged “true believer.”
Very well said.
Very well said.
“The democratic socialist...”

If one wants social justice for the black community, then blacks have to quit electing democrats. From the first election they do, things will start getting better for them.
One can tell Bernie grew up in a f....t neighborhood and lived a f....t life.
He never drove a cab in, no less worked ANY job in a bad neighborhood.
He didn’t live in those neighborhoods.
He’s just another self hating f...t pansy who needs a good dose of spending the night in the steps, halls and stairways of a project to show him what is really going on.
jon stewart also comes to mind. A lot of f....t leftists who grew up in safe cozy neighborhoods need a @#$@#$ing wakeup call.
Sorry, but it’s the Democrats fomenting racial hatred.
15 dollars an hour-no work needed!
does economic justice include removing 95% of muslims in America that are on WELFARE and other taxpayer handouts for votes... send these people abck to the sandbox.... they hate us and intend to do us harm... its been 14+ years since 9/11 and the situation is only worsening with muslim no go zones across America....
they dont like us and we dont like them... religion of peace is bs and nothing but a political movement.......
How in any way is the Bern’s pitch different from any and all despots, dictators, tyrants and demagogues throughout history? Always blame and demonize anyone who is successful. Feel the Bern? Here’s the “fine print”...if the demagogue will steal from the “rich”, he(she) will certainly steal from you...the foundation of socialist policy is stealing the labor of the populace... once called slavery, but now “economic justice”. All shall be “redistributed” first and foremost to those doing the theft... you Bernieites, you get but a “trickle down” ration. Old Serpent smiles!
