[bettyellen]

23. Oh shit. Vaseline the last few days of the school year! Thanks for the memories!

My friend watched a brawl outside her house one year- second to the last day of school.
There was jewelry, phones, all kinds of teenage debris. She sat in the window and watched people sheepishly come back to look for their shit.
LOL.

[bravenak]

27. Damn!!

That was me!! Looking for my earrings in the grass, lol, greasy as hell!

[bettyellen]

29. One year they suspended our busses from school, and told everyone take another way home.

because they took you to a transfer hub where about five different HSs all unloaded their kids at once.

[bravenak]

31. Oh shit that woulda been hella crazy

We never got busees in LA and up here I lived with the upper middle class kids, you know, we were the 'poor'. They felt bad and drove me around cause we only had an old subaru between four kids.
I woukd have loved a transfer hub. Cute boys! And girls too shit, love it all.

[bettyellen]

34. Yep, it was where we all picked up connections to go to the South Bronx and Harlem, LOL. You could

only stop em from fighting if you dropped a bunch of Brooklyn kids in there as chum. Everyone hated the Brooklyn kids back then, LOL. But yeah, most days it was an interesting place to check out kids from the rival schools. But that last week of classes, oh boy. What a tradition.

[MrWendel]

6. Amazing...

" They called Lewis a liar and an Uncle Tom.

“Maybe if he weren’t selling out the African-American cause for a power position with Hillary?” tweeted David Morant.

A woman tweeting under @PoliticsPeach said, “John Lewis can go 2 hell, he’s not God & he’s also a damn LIAR, now what?”

And it wasn’t just progressives who piled on.

“Meh! John Lewis is race hustler. He isn’t fit to carry MLK’s jock strap,” RINO Hunter opined. "

[bravenak]

16. Thats fucked up

21. "they"...

30. Now, now. Goldwater was all for equal rights. He said so. He just honestly, truly believed

that the US Constitution (states' rights under the Ninth and Tenth Amendments) required the federal government to leave the Jim Crow states in peace.

I don't remember his excellent reasons for opposing Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, but I'm sure that was just as valid as his opposition to Brown v. Board of Ed.

Besides, Hillary was "only" seventeen then. She had probably forgotten all about that by the time she was elected President of the Young Republicans Group at Wellesley College. By 1968, when she attended the Republican National Convention, she'd definitely forgotten what she did when she was 17.



I'd love to see proof of some of the things she claims.

What does he or any other Bernie supporter gain from this? Have you considered agents provocateurs?

39. The media is trying to create a problem for Sanders where there is none

The problem is with the Democratic Party as a whole...not with Bernie Sanders. Hillary is benefitting from name recognition and the illusion of progress for Blacks during the Clinton years. The Democratic Party is going to have a problem when older Blacks are no longer here and younger Blacks who are much more rebellious and questioning the Party are the dominant forces when it comes to the Black vote. People are hurting and feeling oppressed and I know many Blacks under 35 who don't like Hillary. So the media is spinning this.

I'd be interested in your thoughts.

[bravenak]

47. Bernie has a good record on human rights

Good enough for a Senator. He does not have a good way of speaking with the black community. He is too forceful with his ideology being the cure all. He is a bit obnoxious when he uses stereotypes like 'hanging on street corners', that is disrespectful. When we try to get him to discuss racism, he brings up the black incarcement rate and povert, we are not all in jail or poor, he needs to show he understands not only the connections between race and povert, but understands them separately as well.
His speeches are tired. They are targeted to a generic (read:white) audience. Even when speaking directly to us about us he cannot discuss US. He discusses poor people of all races, again, we are not all poor, that is a stereotype.

[LiberalAndProud]

68. Yes. He does fail to make a connection.

I can see it.

I guess I like him because he is concerned about poverty. It's an issue that hasn't been the focus of an election cycle in quite some time.

I do notice him talking past his black audience when he's trying to connect with them. I understand his dilemma. I understand your concern. Still, he does try to connect. That's something. (Thanks, Obama.)

[bravenak]

69. He does try. That matters. Alot.

[Jarqui]

44. I don't think this is so or fair:

From the article:

Sanders, who represents a predominantly white state, has frankly never had to answer to black voters writ large. And, as such, his legislative record is reflective of a man who did not need to be concerned about how people of color were getting along in places like Ferguson, Baltimore, or Flint.

I grabbed a few items from his congressional years

OMNIBUS CRIME CONTROL ACT OF 1991 -- HON. BERNIE SANDERS (Extension of Remarks - October 23, 1991)
[Page: E3525]
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/D?r102:1:./temp/~r10240PXTd::

"But the truth is the United States has one of the highest incarceration rates in the world. One in four black men between the ages of 20 and 29 is either in jail, on probation, or parole. Numerous studies have shown that blacks are far more likely to be sentenced to death than nonwhites.

And now, at a time when most Western democracies have either discarded or severely restricted the use of the death penalty, the President and some in this Congress want to increase the use of the death penalty, a penalty which will be imposed far more frequently on nonwhites. Passage of this amendment will only ensure that a disproportionate number of nonwhites will go to their death at the hands of a government authorized executioner. I will not support this amendment and I will not support this crime bill. Over the last decade this government has gutted housing, education, and poverty programs. America's great patriotic corporations continue to export tens of thousands of jobs. Is anyone in this chamber surprised that there is an increase in the crime rate?

This Member does not believe that we can execute our way out of the social and economic crisis in this country. This bill will not take a bite out of crime but it will go a long way toward shredding the Constitution."

OMNIBUS CRIME CONTROL ACT OF 1991 (House of Representatives - October 22, 1991)

Mr. SANDERS.

Mr. Chairman, I rise in strong opposition to the McCollum amendment and, in fact, in strong opposition to this so-called crime prevention bill.

Mr. Chairman, let us be honest. This is not a crime prevention bill. This is a punishment bill, a retribution bill, a vengeance bill.

All over the industrialized world now, countries are saying, `Let us put an end to state murder; let us stop capital punishment.'

But here what we are talking about is more and more capital punishment. What we are discussing now is an issue where some of our friends are saying, we are not getting tough enough on the criminals. But my friends, we have the highest percentage of people in America in jail per capita of any industrialized nation on Earth. We have better than South Africa. We have better than the Soviet Union.

What do we have to do, put half the country behind bars?

Mr. Chairman, instead of talking about punishment and vengeance, let us have the courage to talk about the real issue: how do we get to the root causes of crime. How do we stop crime, which is in fact a very, very serious problem in this country?

And there, Mr. Chairman, I have a problem. I have a problem with a President and a Congress which allows 5 million children to go hungry, 2 million people to sleep out on the streets, cities that become breeding grounds for drugs and violence, and they say we are getting tough on crime.

If we want to get tough on crime, let us deal with the causes of crime. Let us demand that every man, woman, and child in this country have a decent opportunity and a decent standard of living. Let us not keep putting poor people into jail and disproportionately punishing blacks.

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION ON THE BUDGET--FISCAL YEAR 1993 (House of Representatives - March 05, 1992

Mr. Chairman, I am very proud today to be here as a member of the Progressive Caucus working in alliance with the Congressional Black Caucus, because for many years millions of people throughout this country, when they tried to find some sense in what was going on in terms of budgetary policy, they looked at the Congressional Black Caucus for sense, and we formed the Progressive Caucus, many of us, because we believe that the Government is no longer representing ordinary people

DISAPPROVAL OF CERTAIN SENTENCING GUIDELINE AMENDMENTS (House of Representatives - October 18, 1995)
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/C?r104:./temp/~r104gt6x9r

Mr. SANDERS. Mr. Chairman, I am outraged that we are not given the option to support both fairness in our criminal justice system and a strong stance against crime and illegal drugs. The issue here is extremely important. There is no excuse for a young man in the ghetto to be arrested for crack cocaine possession and get 5 years in prison when the more affluent powder cocaine user risks only 1 year in jail. The simple fact is that the poor and the black minority are treated unfairly under current sentencing guidelines.

Don't get me wrong. This Congressman thinks that drugs are a scourge on America and I strongly believe we must fight cocaine use in any form. We should be addressing the fairness issue by raising the punishment for powder cocaine, not lowering the sentence for crack offenses. I am deeply disturbed that this was not given as an option today.

I come from an almost all white State and I know that the people of Vermont want tough law enforcement and tough penalties against drug dealers. But they do not believe that a white cocaine user should be treated far more leniently than a black cocaine user. And that is what the issue is here today. The criminal justice system must be fair and unbiased or it is simply not just.
The CHAIRMAN. All time for general debate has expired.

ANDREA JAQUITH ON GANGS AND STREET VIOLENCE -- HON. BERNARD SANDERS (Extension of Remarks - June 04, 1996)
https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CREC-1996-06-04/pdf/CREC-1996-06-04-pt1-PgE988.pdf#page=1

Mr. SANDERS. Mr. Speaker, for the benefit of my colleagues I would like to have printed in the Record this statement by Andrea Jaquith, a high school student from Brattleboro, VT, who was speaking at my recent town meeting on issues facing young people.

Guns, `gas traps' or `toolies'--whatever you choose to call them--firearms are a major part of gangs and violence, in general, today with American youths. Gunshot wounds are the leading cause of death for all teenage boys in America. Guns kill 14 kids in America every day. It is estimated that one out of 25 African -American male children now in kindergarten will be murdered with a gun by the age of 18. In a recent survey conducted, it was found that one in five H.S. students carry a weapon with them. The vast majority of juveniles get guns from their own homes, and the majority of accidental shootings occur in homes where kids can easily get guns. In a 1989 poll, nearly three out of five Americans own a gun.

So many youths have firearms because of the perceived absence of any other kind of power necessary to attain status and wealth. 5,000 kids are killed by a gun every year in the U.S. There's a trend that appears to be a weak economy and scarcity of legitimate jobs for these young minority men--that's why they tend to join gangs. Basic needs that kids get by joining gangs are: structure, nurturing, economic opportunity and a sense of belonging. Most kids join gangs because that's what there is to join where they live--there aren't sports teams that they can join, and there aren't jobs that they can get because of the weak economy--so that's why they turn to gangs.

REGARDING AFFIRMATIVE ACTION -- HON. BERNARD SANDERS (Extension of Remarks - June 12, 1997)
https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CREC-1997-06-12/pdf/CREC-1997-06-12-pt1-PgE1206-3.pdf#page=1
STATEMENT BY MARK GEORGE AND MARY NEWMAN

MARK GEORGE : The problem is not mixing minorities and whites so all are fairly represented, but rather the continuing problem of minorities being lesser qualified. They are being inadequately educated in kindergarten through 12th grade and the government doesn't step in until after graduation. It is not making amends for the injustices of slavery or separate equality but what it is doing is converting, covering up problems with the current system, problems of funding for proper books and classrooms in public schools. Public schools, that means it is the government's problem with money, not entirely of race.

As of 1995, the University of California was accepting only about half of their students based on grades and test scores. The rest were a complex equation that awarded points to minorities and women, and while 565 black students applied to Northwestern in 1996, only 120 were among the entering class of 1,850. In 1993, out of approximately 400,000 black high school seniors nationwide, only 1,644 had combined scores of 1,200 and better on SATs.
...
MARY NEWMAN: One example of the inadequacy of affirmative action can be found in Texas. In 1994, the University of Texas law school was sued because it had to set up separate admissions standards for white and black students. In a mirror image of the 1950s, the different standards were not to keep out qualified blacks but qualified whites. The reason for this which the lawsuit revealed was looking at the LSAT results in 1992, only 88 blacks in the country had scores higher than the median for white students at the highly selective law school. On scores alone, the school would have admitted nine black applicants to its engineering class of 500 students. Yet affirmative action called for a certain proportion of African Americans to graduate from Texas colleges.

This huge discrepancy between black and white scores has to do with problems that our government is neglecting to solve within minority groups. Ignoring the fact that the black scores weren't sufficient enough for admission will not solve our problems nor will the other laws that require businesses to accept a certain number of people from a certain minority. They only worsen them. They produce the feeling of inferiority among minorities and create negative stereotypes in the minds of the majority. White, educated, upper-middle-class residents are getting angry because they are losing their privileges. They feel that they are now the discriminated segment of our population.

We have given affirmative action a chance to lessen tensions among the people who make up our society, yet it hasn't been enough. There needs to be a different approach to this program and it needs to be stronger than simply handing out privileges. Our government needs to focus on resolving issues of poverty, of unemployment, of public education and the collapse of family structures that face minority groups in America.

If people start feeling good about themselves, if they start feeling like they have a chance to be just like anybody else without unfair advantages from the government, only then will they feel that they are an equal citizen of the United States. Only then will there be space provided for individuals of any color and any religion, any background in either gender to achieve the success that has to be won, not provided for.

POLICE BRUTALITY; PROSTITUTION -- HON. BERNARD SANDERS (Extensions of Remarks - July 26, 1999)
https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CREC-1999-07-26/pdf/CREC-1999-07-26-pt1-PgE1649-2.pdf#page=1
Mr. SANDERS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to have printed in the RECORD statements by high school students from my home State of Vermont, who were speaking at my recent town meeting on issues facing young people today. I am asking that you please insert these statements in the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD as I believe that the views of these young persons will benefit my colleagues.

Then there is the question of protect. Americans depend on officers in the time of danger, but for Amadou Diallo, he lost his life when four New York City officers emptied their entire rounds on him because he looked suspicious. Is our law enforcement system covered by a blue curtain and our officers put on a pedestal, or is the law enforcement just getting a bad reputation for a few mistakes?

Chris Callahan: Aaron Campbell, a 26-year veteran of the Miami Dade Police Department, was pulled over and charged with a traffic violation. Campbell didn't believe that he was pulled over because of any traffic violation, but was a victim of racial profiling. Campbell resisted arrest, and later was accused of assaulting a police officer.

Campbell was successful in convincing the jury that racial profiling is an everyday occurrence. He was later acquitted of all charges, except for resisting arrest. The fact that Campbell was a police officer helped his case significantly. Imagine the victims who are not professionally affiliated with the legal system, and the difficulty that they have proving their innocence.y can get because of the weak economy--so that's why they turn to gangs.

Fair Pay 01/22/2009

Congressional Record Transcript of Sanders Filibuster
Friday, December 10, 2010
http://www.sanders.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/page-3-congressional-record-transcript-of-sanders-filibuster

The gentlemen said to me: Well, for White families in America, the average median--50 percent more, 50 percent less--is $87,000. For Hispanic families, it is $8,000. For African-American families, it is $5,000.

I want to repeat that. Fifty percent of all families in America who are Caucasian, their net worth is $67,000 or less. For Hispanic families in America, 50 percent of all Hispanic households, their net worth is $8,000. For African-American families today, in 2010--40 years after the peak of the civil rights movement and 150 years or so after the Civil War and all the things we think we have done to try to get people in a more equal position in our society--it is $5,000. That is including home equity--or home ownership, I mean. Without home ownership, that net worth for African-American families falls to $1,000.

Citing Crisis in Ferguson, Sanders to Propose Youth Jobs Bill 08/20/2014
http://www.sanders.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/citing-crisis-in-ferguson-sanders-to-propose-youth-jobs-bill

Sanders called for a thorough federal investigation of the Aug. 9 death of an unarmed black teenager who was shot by a police officer in the St. Louis suburb. “All of us have a responsibility to make sure that what happened in Ferguson never happens again,” Sanders said.

“We also must recognize, however, that there is an economic crisis facing our nation’s youth, particularly young African-Americans,” Sanders added. In the St. Louis metro area, almost half of young African-American men are unemployed, Sanders said. Nationwide, the youth unemployment rate today is more than 20 percent and African-American youth unemployment is nearly 35 percent.

“If we are going to address the issue of crime in low-income areas and in African-American communities, it might be a good idea that instead of putting military style equipment into police departments in those areas, we start investing in jobs for the young people there who desperately need them.”

The legislation would provide $5.5 billion in immediate funding to states and localities to employ 1 million young Americans between the ages of 16 and 24.

Voter ID Laws Put Price on Voting and Hurt Turnout, GAO Finds October 8, 2014
http://www.sanders.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/voter-id-laws-put-price-on-voting-and-hurt-turnout-gao-finds

State laws that make voters show IDs at polling places have put a price on ballot access and eroded turnout – especially among African Americans, young people and recently-registered voters – a non-partisan congressional watchdog concluded.

The Government Accountability Office report also found scant evidence of voter fraud that the new laws that ostensibly are designed to discourage.
...
Sanders initiated the request to the GAO. “We must make it easier, not harder, for poor and working people to vote and to participate in the political process. These state laws aren’t really intended to discourage fraud, they’re intended to discourage voting. The GAO looked at study after study and found no credible evidence of voter fraud having had any impact whatsoever on the outcome of any election in recent history.”

Martin Luther King Jr.Sunday, January 18, 2015
http://www.sanders.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/martin-luther-king-jr

Sen. Bernie Sanders called the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., “one of the great leaders in American history.” Sanders, then a college student, was in the crowd on The Mall in Washington when King delivered his “I have a dream” speech from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. “We must never forget his heroic efforts to end segregation and racial injustice. It is also important, however, to remember that he fought for a society in which all people had good jobs at good wages and that quality education and health care were available to all. At a time when we have an almost record number of Americans living in poverty, obscene levels of income and wealth inequality and millions working longer hours for lower pay, we still have much to learn from Dr. King’s extraordinary life.”

Sanders in Selma Says Civil Rights Struggle Continues Saturday, March 7, 2015
http://www.sanders.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/sanders-in-selma-says-civil-rights-struggle-continues

“In 1965, against racist legalized violence, incredibly brave men and women put their lives on the line to demand that all Americans, regardless of their color, have the right to vote. And they won. When people stand together for justice, nothing is impossible,” Sanders said.

“What Bloody Sunday was about was showing the entire country and the entire world how far some of the racist officials in Alabama would go to prevent African-Americans from participating the political process and from voting,” Sanders said. “What happened on that bridge that day was a huge step forward for democracy in America. But what is happening right now – not just in the South but all over this country – are efforts by Republican governors and Republican legislatures to make it harder for African-Americans, for low-income people and for senior citizens to vote.”

He's been fighting this stuff for over 50 years. He never stopped trying to do something for anyone getting a bad deal in the country.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

60. This right here....

The consistent grievance is that very little has been gained from such support and that black issues—including questions of racial disparities—often take a backseat to economic inequality. Others, including Sanders, attempt to advance the false argument that if you solve the wealth gap then you answer racial disparities.

Sanders, who represents a predominantly white state, has frankly never had to answer to black voters writ large. And, as such, his legislative record is reflective of a man who did not need to be concerned about how people of color were getting along in places like Ferguson, Baltimore, or Flint.
