Warren talks about her childhood in part to avoid speaking of her adult life in detail, the sources of her wealth, the nature of her politics or for that matter, the way she treats her own co-workers, which is not in any way egalitarian. In an actual election she'd look worse everyday because her image is a newly crafted thing with foundations of sand.
Sanders is a different story and he's been a champion of everybody's civil rights his entire life, probably in part because he himself is a minority person. A glance at his Congressional life shows strong, enduring involvement with African American members of Congress and their issues, his life prior to Congress is full of examples of Bernie being on the side of everybody's equality. He's not going to have a problem communicating his feelings on any of that.
Big mistake to equate Warren and Sanders. Sanders was founding the Progressive Caucus along with Maxine Waters and Ron Dellums when Liz Warren was counting another million and voting for another Bush. Not even close to the same person.
