Bernie Sanders says we have 'a racist society from top to bottom' because social justice demands him to

Most of the minority candidates have bowed out of the race, in large part because black and Latino Democratic voters preferred the white candidates, but the first-ever intersectionality primary continues.

During an extended back-and-forth on race issues at the Democratic presidential debate on Friday, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders went for the finish line. "We have a racist society from top to bottom," he declared. He said it's in the healthcare system, criminal justice, the economy, and everywhere else.

I won't analyze the psychology behind calling an entire country, whose people you want to like you, racist. I don't think I'd like what I'd find. But in fairness to Sanders, this is largely what the social justice faction of the Democratic Party, the most powerful faction, needs to hear.

If Democrats aren't talking about oppression, grievance, and victimhood as it relates to race, gender, and sexuality, are they really saying anything at all?

As described in my new book, Privileged Victims: How America's Culture Fascists Hijacked the Country and Elevated Its Worst People (out Feb. 25), paying homage to social justice is an imperative in the race to secure the nomination.

Blame America First. That message worked so well for the Democrats in 1984.

Apparently one landslide loss isn’t enough.

This is one of the top arguments socialists/communists make against "free market" systems. Unless everyone has the same income (except for the guys at the top of course), an economic systems (i.e., capitalism) is racist, unfair, discriminatory, etc., etc., etc.

Of course, the real problem is that we can never know if socialism can work because the people at the top cannot be trusted (they are only human after all). Once the managers of said socialist system see how easy it is to dip from the community till, they help themselves (and get rich).

Socialism cannot work (even as socialists prescribe) as long as it is administered by humans.

The second biggest problem is the one discovered by the Jamestown experiment with socialism back in 1607...there is no incentive to work (and plenty of incentive not to) if work is not rewarded.

Talk is cheap.

Bernie’s been in the Senate years and years.

When he had he chance to make a difference, what did he do about it?

He’s a commie chit bag. And I hate it when he and other Rats call Trump a racist. Whoever makes it to the top of that nomination dungpile,I hope Trump rips them a new one. Give them hell. The difference between being called a racist by the left and the criticism they get from Trump is that Trump is right. By any definition.

The leftists have to repeat the “racist” line as nauseam because they are losing parts of their base to Trump. Unfortunately Trump smacked them soundly when he asked blacks, “What have you got to lose?”

Three years later, with employment improving for blacks (and Hispanics), they realize they have nothing to lose by shedding the Democratic Party and its policies which kept them marginalized for half a century.

Bernie would have made the perfect Kapo in a concentration camp. He’s nothing but an evil JINO.

He said it's in the healthcare system, criminal justice, the economy, and everywhere else.

It everywhere EXCEPT in the public schools — the one institution that actually could be shut down and replaced with schools parents choose.

I think most Americans have become immune to everyone being accused of racism.

If the USA is racist from top to bottom, then all Blacks and all democrats are racist.

Elementary logic.

Has their ever been a incident where a candidate has dropped over dead while debating.
If no then Bernie could be the first.
Leftist like to point out first.
