We Have Got To Stand Together and End All Forms of Racism

Bernie describes his Jewish history to a American Islamic Girl.

“They told white workers who were earning pennies an hour, ‘Hey, you think you’re in trouble, but you’re better off than the blacks,'” he said. “And they told straight people, ‘You’re better off than those gay people.’ And they pitted men against women. It’s always playing one group against another. That’s how the rich got richer while everybody else was fighting each other. Our job is to build a nation in which we all stand together.”

3. Agreed,

I wish it were that easy. From where I sit, as a black woman, well intentioned white people need to stop trying to eradicate racism on their terms. Many only end up making things worse, not better. It's not going to be a comfortable process and trying to make it comfortable isn't going to work. I think Bernie gets it, his supporters though? Not as much.
