If you are only telling your kid to be subservient so they can come home alive, you're failing as a father and complicit in the perpetuation of the system of white supremacy. You're giving only one half of The Talk (the way things are) but not giving the other half (why things are this way and how to change it). That was the problem with Bernie's answer. It's disempowering and normalizes this fukked up intolerable state of affairs. It doesn't educate your child or spur them to engage in the type of civic activity needed to change the system. I don't think it was a horrible answer or disqualifying or anything, just incomplete. But I only saw what was being sent around in that clip, so maybe he gave a more complete answer later on.
Are you new to American police relations with black people?

No, and I fail to see how advocating for active political sensibilities in our children as opposed to passive acceptance of our position in this white supremacist society would indicate as such.

Because that’s not a theory-based question. That was a real-world answer. Interactions with police can lead to being blamed for your own murder.

It wasn’t the best answer but it was honest.

Yes, and I'm not speaking in theory, I'm speaking in practicalities. As I said, my problem with Bernie's answer wasn't that it was dishonest, it's that it was incomplete.

Even tho that’s what a lot of them did the last presidential election....or voted for a gorilla. We got historical proof to show that Bernie Bro’s and Sis’s will

While around 12% of Bernie supporters voted for Trump, the overwheming majority voted for Hillary.

A 2010 study in Public Opinion Quarterly found that in the 2008 election 25 percent of those who voted for Clinton in the Democratic primary ended up voting for Republican John McCain, rather than Barack Obama, in the general election.

I’m going to be real with you, you sound ridiculous. Colin Kaepernick is holding a know rights camp right now. No, people do not know their rights. Please stop insulting my intelligence as a black man and as an attorney. This is the type of shyt that goes beyond politics of any candidate that genuinely makes me angry. Everything else on here is jokes. Bernie Sanders said what every black father says to their son and answered that as well as a white man could. The fact that you claimed Warren is the only one who didn’t fumble the ball this weekend is hilarious. Warren and Biden straight up didn’t answer the question and said some general bullshyt about how you shouldn’t have been stopped at all. In other words, typical white liberal “I feel your pain but I don’t have the answers,” type nonsense. In fact, I’m bothered by how terribly she answered that question given the fact that she heard Bernie asked it the day before and had the chance to lay out actual policy and didn’t have a damn thing. She had a whole day and came out with some flowery random we must do better bullshyt. Julian Castro seems to be the only who does and it’s because he comes from that. The question was, “if I was your son?” Sometimes I really wonder about some of you guys and your relation to blackness and if you’re gaslighting me with the shyt you say on here. Every single person I showed that clip to agreed with what he said but you’re just picking at random insignificant shyt. He said to do what they say so you don’t get shot in the head to begin with. That’s the most honest thing any candidate said. Are you guys looking for someone who is honest or will make you “feel heard?” You guys aren’t operating in good faith, and just looking for a way to advocate for your preferred candidate like this is a game. Imagine stanning fukking politicians. Sorry, I just had to get that off because it’s been irking me all weekend. Y’all can proceed with the nonsense in here.
First I don’t sound ridiculous. You can disagree, but my point is well thought out.

Second, I didn’t say people know their rights. I said you can know your rights and police still violate them. That’s a clear difference from what you claimed I said. I have no problem with people learning their rights, but the main problem with policing is not that people don’t know their rights, it is that police are violating their rights with no consequences. You are speaking to someone who was targeted countless times by the police in a redneck area when I was in the military. In many cases you don’t even have a chance to tell police you know your rights before something happens.

Third, please find a quote of me saying that Warren was the only one who didn’t fumble the ball this weekend. I’ll wait, because you can’t, because I never said that. Don’t put words in my mouth to make your point.

Forth I have given Castro credit in this thread countless times for his positions, and even stated I think he would be a great VP.

Fifth, Warren did answer the question. You just didn’t like her answer. It’s a difference.

Lastly,
You said stop insulting your intelligence as a Black man. Man stop it. I’m also a Black man. You stated you are an attorney, so I would expect a better argument. You seem to be mad that I didn’t like Bernie answer. Well, get over it. And if you quote me, fully read my post and don’t makeup shyt.

Here is why I do not support Warren:



"She's great because she's obviously lying!"

The scum. :scust:
