Sanders: 'We have got to apologize for slavery'

It seems like America feels that if they apologize for slavery, they're admitting culpability, and that would mean that they're going to have to break bread for us, like they did the Japanese Americans during WWII, and paying us back would be a HELLUVA lot more than what they had to pay the Japs. Not only would they have to take responsibility for slavery, they'd also have to take responsibility for everything that followed it (Jim Crow, etc.) and its effect on us. They paid the Japs, and gave the Natives casinos and certain federal perks. Truth is, they can't afford to pay us what they owe! They've "acknowledged" that it was wrong, they've never apologized, and they never will. Apologizing is like that loose thread on a sweater. Once you pull it, it could unravel the whole thing. Btw, asking a question doesn't make you an asshole, fam.


Congress has already made an apology for slavery and Jim Crow.

The catch was that the apology was non binding, meaning they don't owe us shit. Just an "oops, my bad" and a slap on the ass.
 
I know Bearnie probably means well, but seriously, FUCK THEIR APOLOGY!

Apology will make it seem all is well, but these CACs needs to change their fuckin ways and the got damn system they benefit from.

That is unlikely, so fuck an apology.

Stop the war on drugs, then I'll kiss some ass.
 
If you're truly apologetic, cut a reparations check for the descendants of those slaves. You can start with the First Lady on down.

Otherwise, fuck an apology. An apology in 2016 is an insult to the departed and present-day African- Americans.

Cats talking about "he can't win"... No one thought we'd see a Black Man win the Democratic nomination back in 2008. Barack surprised us all.

If a Black Centrist with a Muslim sounding name can win, surely a White Democratic Socialist can too.

Democratic voters are more leftist than they were 8 years ago. People just need to vote for him come primary day.
 
Sanders is already keeping pace and pretty much tied with Clinton in many races. And that is WITHOUT any serious Black folk support and very little media support.

Bernie is already preaching free college for all at public schools. But all of his ideas are just lip service. Repub/Dems run the congress and enough people won't go to the polls to vote them out. Neither side would go for stuff like he preaching. People forget that Bernie is an Independent running with the Democrats.
 
Republicans can't wait to run against this fool.:angry: ...and you people are encouraging him. A Jew from Vermont that's proposing a 90% tax...yeah right.
 
Who?

I don't care how rich the person is suggesting a 90% tax is a LOSER EVERY TIME!!!
#1.....he didnt suggest that... it's propaganda being fed to you by "them"
here is a Forbes magazine article showing what he actually said..

#2. If he actually was talking about raising the top tax rate on the Top 1% why the fuck would you care? Are you a 1 percenter?

seriously bruh, If they (the 1%) had to vote whether to raise your top marginal tax rate by 60% or raise thiers by 2%, how you figure they would vote?
 
Who?

"Let me tell you how it will be,
That's one for you, 19 for me.
Cause I'm the taxman.

Yeahhh, I'm the tax maaaaan!" - The Beatles
 
Who?

In 1944-45, “the most progressive tax years in U.S. history,” the 94%rate applied to any income above $200,000 ($2.4 million in 2009 dollars, given inflation). In World War Two, tax law revisions increased the numbers of “those paying some income taxes” from 7% of the U.S. population (1940) to 64% by 1944.

Get it in your heads, after the Republicans are finished scaring the daylight out of those Independents in the key swing States Sanders would lose maybe 40 States. America will NEVER vote for a person that is suggesting a tax of 90% no matter how rich that person is. As Dem he would get my vote, but that would be a losing vote for sure......think Politics instead of trying tell me stuff that I know already , like the tax rate in war world 2 America.

Independents? another myth fed to you by the machine. An independent is just a republican that doesn't want to publicly own up to the fuckery/racism/bigotry of the republican party. they didnt vote for Obama. They won't vote for Hillary or Sanders either... look at the graph, republican line dip corresponds with the independent rise.....don't worry about them...lets lead the way instead of trying to follow..

On reparations, it has to be something that affects the country for as long as it is in existence.

For example, black folk pay zero taxes and get free college education at HBCUs with the country paying the schools.


Or get a state like white folk got with Utah or Oregon.

When tax time comes or on job applications, put a check box down for the coons who want to chose to pay taxes.

The truth is that this should have been hashed out in the 1800s.
 
I can tell and you don't read much either...For Bills inclusion ? You mean Bill that passed the crime bill ?
yep, im gong to keep it real with you player, all the polititions suck but ive kept making over figures with all of them in office and I will continue to do so.. but out of the people we have to choose from I vote for Billary lol.. But Sanders would be my next best vote, but not for what I think he will do... its more fear over what the republicans would do. Keep in mind ANY democratic vote has the most chance of fukkign with MY pockets..... BUT I think for the larger % of people dems have the best chance in that aspect so im with it, I can always up my pay.... maybe if it got hit I might get more motivated.... again just to keep it real.
 
Bernie 2016.

Of all the candidates running he hands down understands and articulates what is going on in this country economically the best.

It doesn't take long to flush you so called independents out....lol.
 
never said i was independent... i vote where I think it makes sense.. nothing more, i dont need someones elses label... unliike yourself... i would rather not be "famous" lol

Sometimes, it's not what you say it's not "what" you say, it's "how" you say it.
You just told me that you don't vote....shame on you.
 
All he needs to do now is police reform initiative and it's a wrap for Billary.

This is a start...

On Thursday, the Vermont independent introduced The Justice Is Not for Sale Actwhich bars the federal government from contracting with private companies. Sanders’ bill was introduced as a part of a package of legislation sponsored by Reps. Raúl M. Grijalva of Arizona, Keith Ellison of Minnesota and Bobby L. Rush of Illinois, aimed at making important criminal justice reforms including increased oversight on the predatory banking and telephone services for inmates.
