candidates to work to address racism and propose solutions for combating it.

Although I voted all Democrats I wouldn't consider Jim Webb as being one that will do a good job in addressing the issue but as far as the Democratic party as a whole I do hope our candidates are sincerely making an effort to address racism.

Bernie's campaign I believe holds the best promise for making lives better for PoC and all Americans but I will make the distinction on racism as I really don't want to see supporters of candidates making racism a political issue.

Hopefully Democrats and America as a whole will come together and act as one in addressing this important issue.
