Mike Malloy - The Ghetto & Bernie Sanders



There have been a number of attacks against Bernie Sanders concerning his position on race, poverty, and his "ghetto" comments at the recent Democratic presidential debate with Hillary Clinton. People in mainstream and social media have claimed these remarks show that Sanders doesn't understand African Americans, "poor whites," or even poverty in the United States.

In short, Sanders stated that "white" Americans don't know what it's like to live like African Americans in U.S. ghettos. The statement was right on, but commentators quickly took it out of context.
