I don't believe in Sanders plans or that he will accomplish it so those are wasted words on me.
But since you pointed out -
White people will be livid if one single woman who is black gets access to prenatal care is not married and or under the age of 18. It will be just like the New Deal - skin color based means testing.
Infrastructure is 5/6 years off. You need to train all of the black and Latino kids America cheated out of fair elementary, middle and high school education - who won't meet the standards for the free college. Business As Usual until then.
Last one - go one step more -
I'm 43 black and rich. What happens if I get breast cancer? I'm much more likely to die than a white woman on the poverty line as the best care is reserved for her.
Sanders wants to tax us an additional 30k a year - when I need that money to fly to Rome, rent an apartment and undergo treatment to have a shot. Just received my Italian citizenship. My answer? Leave us alone. If I have the access to go and be treated like a human being - shame on America for not giving us the same "virtue of womanhood". This country has reaped what it has sown - my cynical attitude and desire for self preservation.
This country takes and takes from black people and we are supposed to believe in a second New Deal now? After the massive cheat and tax grab on the last one?
When a country shows you what it is - believe it.
In the meantime the woman highlighted in the OP has a right to smirk at Sanders. She earned it with tears!
