QUESTION: Where is Bigga and Cornell West when Sanders needs them in SC?

I mean, he was all over IA and NH etc with these two wasn't he?..... these guys were attached at the hip no?


Just askin... noticed Bigga and West were missing


Thx in advance for any rational and reasonable and fact filled answer.


Regards

P.S. If you're asking who Bigga is then you'll understand why some AA's think Sanders association with him was a little cynical...

P.S.S This is not an attempt to speak for all AA's

thx

Why you putting words in my mouth like that?

Hearing some of his raps the rhyming wasn't there, it wasn't tight. Who knows, maybe I just heard a bad song from him.

that he was not a racist. Sanders is not a racist by any means but his anti-Obama mindset made him select people who were Obama's strongest critics. Actually, if Hillary were to go nuclear, all she has to say to A-A groups, "Folks, do you know who his adviser is? Cornell West. Enough said."

Either it's "he has a problem with black folk" or "he has the wrong black folk" and some said it was for financial gain to promote their careers. That's a compliment, IMO. Don't forget Jesse Jackson...he's probably wanting to run for office.

News flash...in case you haven't noticed, a lot of more establishment black folk have come on board...changing over from Hillary. It's like when he was at 4% in Iowa.

Just keep the memes flowing...they just fill up Bernie's coffers and attract new voters.

looks funny, nah mean?

oh and 10 out of 300 isn't "a lot"... I don't see that seeing Sanders coalition is statically mostly white.

Even black millinals aren't feeling the Bern

Maybe they were last week's news and Bernie has better prospects now.



There may even be new endorsements this week. Only time will tell.
