Black Voters Get That Bernie Marched With MLK. They Want To Know What He’ll Do For Them Now.
Buzzfeed News ^ | May 3, 2019 | Ruby Cramer and Ryan C. Brooks

Sen. Bernie Sanders has a story for black audiences. They’ve just heard it already.

“I was actually at the March on Washington with Dr. King back in 1963,” Sanders likes to remind audiences. “As somebody who actively supported Jesse Jackson’s campaign — as one of the few white elected officials to do so in ’88 — I have dedicated my life to the fight against racism and sexism and discrimination of all forms.”

His most recent audience, at a candidate forum in Texas dedicated to women of color, She the People, responded with a round of groans.

Four years after his first campaign for president, when the senator from Vermont struggled to win over black voters against Hillary Clinton, Sanders, 77, is speaking more forcefully about racial justice and equality. He has worked to secure endorsements from black lawmakers, including seven in the key state of South Carolina last month. In the face of criticism, he has stood by his proposal to restore voting rights to incarcerated people — one supported by more than 70 civil rights groups. And his advisers have pointed repeatedly to early polls showing his campaign performing well among black voters, particularly those of a younger generation.

Does anyone consider why he was marching? The reason he was marching with MLK was that commies were seeking to take over MLK’s movement. Plain and simple, Bernie just wanted to get some red paint out there.

They don't need no stinkin' free education and health care. They want free iPhones every year. Free houses. Free money, especially if it comes from white males. Freedom to commit any crime and not be punished. At least that's how it appears sometimes.

Boiney believes so strongly in “die-versity” that he fled “die-verse” NYC, his birthplace, to run away to the Whitest state in America, Vermont. He surely loves the Negroes, so long as they stay FAR away from his beloved Green Mountain State.

MLK was a Republican as were most Blacks, He was Marching against the Democrat Party and the Laws they Implemented, namely Jim Crow Laws and of course their Voter Enforcement Division the KKK, a Wholly owned subsidiary of the Democrat Party.

Why did so many supposedly prominent blacks immediately upon MLK’s Death, decide to join the Party that enslaved them and wanted to continue to enslave them???

But do black voters get the fact that the KKK was founded by the Democrats and that they were taught to vote Democrat by lynchings and burning crosses?
