You bring up a good point. Although, I like Bernie's ideology better, this is exactly the reason why I have not embraced him 100% as of yet. I have not seen him make an attempt to go into the communities of POC. He does need to work on that.

Only if you are voting for Sanders. bravenak Feb 2016 #35

If she addresses their concerns, why can't she come out with a social justice platform jeff47 Feb 2016 #36

Is BLM the final arbiter of all things black? hack89 Feb 2016 #40
