4. Bernie is going to have to keep

reaching out to the black community over and over again if he's only doing this for media attention we'll see right through him

5. That's very strange that you would say that. You must not know Bernie.

6. Its not a strange thing to say

I speak the truth. I never supported him. I didn't vote for him during the primary either.

8. Dude! He marched with Dr. King.

I think he is serious about it.

9. I get so tired

of you all pulling that. He's not done anything for the black community, period.
