The treatment of Bernie Sanders by Black Lives Matter protesters earlier this year in Seattle seemed to show a cleavage between two traditional constituencies of the Democratic Party. Many Sanders supporters were outraged by the display, including the seizure of the microphone and a rambling speech made by BLM speakers.
Since the incident Sanders has made it a point to engage more with urban political leaders and some BLM figures have apologized for taking the display too far.
However, Sanders has chosen a different tack in a recent in-depth interview with the New Yorker. According to Sanders himself, he had been unintentionally disrespectful to the movement. He stated, "I plead guilty—I should have been more sensitive at the beginning of this campaign to talk about this issue."
Sanders for his part has extended his discussion regarding police and sentencing reform, as well as new economic programs.
In an interview with Ebony, Sanders stated that regarding many police encounters with blacks, "Many White people are not sensitive."
He should just apologize to them for even being alive.
Blacks could use his air.
pussy
Electing this guy will complete Obie from Nairobi’s agenda to destroy America.
If he can’t stand up to home grown terrorists (JV team, anyway), how can he stand up to real terrorists as President ?
Look at the bright side...he swam to the bottom of the lake and made it back alive.
That's WASCIST.
This communist is a drueling, rest home occupant. He is a knee slapping, belly laughing joke. The Socialists have hillary. They know she is a criminal and WILL BE INDICTED!! and they have know place to go for their blood sucking parasite existence. God bless Donald Trump. Deport them all!!
You beat me to it!
Bernie bending over and takin’ it.
What a pathetic goofball.
What a pathetic self loathing wimp.
He had forgotten to check his privilege and in the process committed a microaggression, trigger words, if you will, but now his mind is right and he will be much more sensitive to the plight of #BLM from now on.
Is it any wonder so many blacks are indignant? The people that claim to represent them have them enslaved in ghetto plantations.
Bernie so desperate for these racist scum bags vote that he is willing to bend over and take it in the arse.
Blacklivesmatter is a hate group whose rehtoric led to the murder of 4 cops.
No wonder the democrats want their support.
Yep and that's how it works. Negative generalizations about black people are evil and racist. Negative generalizations about white people are just fine.
Everything is racism, except hating whitey.
He’s effin guilty alright.
Guilty of being a senile old white Stalinist who doesn’t know how to control the feral black shock troop his kind have unleashed on the American populace.
CPUSA must be DESTROYED!!!!!!!!!!!!
That wouldn't be enough for that group.
