2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Wooing Blacks, Sanders Reframes But Does Not Change Argument [View all]bravenak
(34,648 posts)77. That is very nice.
I do not believe Bernie. I did not like his speech on the sanitation workers where he left out vital info. Completely erased us from our own history by leaving out the fact that the strikers were black men trying to get the same pay and conditions as white men. I feel that that was a very important historical fact. It should have been noted.

People are starting to try to say that Bernie is somewhere near Dr. King and the heir to his legacy.

That's what's so irritating to me: King didn't endorse candidates *when he was alive*

Just a guess, but Bernie probably had different ideas about how to do things, ya think?
