(8,200 posts)I thought that Sanders has been an ardent supporter of Black issues for a number of years. I believe that his message that we must do better in dramatically reducing Black unemployment would have an important affect on the lives of Black people and especially young Blacks who are captive of a situation that provides little hope for advancement. I am attempting to understand as best that I can, not being Black, that their is widespread deeply held prejudice. It appears to me that Blacks are demanding respect and I applaud that.
What I don't understand, and I am open to being educated, is just how are people who are prejudice are going to be transformed into acting like the Christians that they claim to be. I say this from the perspective of having numerous relatives in the South who are unfortunately virulent racists which is unfortunately not uncommon throughout our nation.
