Julian Castro on Bernie Sanders: He wants to write a big check for everything except reparations.

[dj-method-x]

1. I'm not a Tariq Nasheed follower. I think he's a scam artist and have said this for years when he started his pro Black agenda.

2. Don't call me out of my name because you're on an Internet forum. If we were on the street and face to face, you'd be more careful with your phrasing.

Free college doesn't help everyone. As it stands today, the overall value of a degree has decreased because colleges have become for profit institutions while operating under a 501c3. Talk about bringing back trades in high schools among others and then maybe I'd buy into his socialist dream. M4A is a fukking farce and will balloon into something unsustainable if this country doesn't get immigration in check. As it stands we are a welfare state where anyone from anywhere can receive treatment at someone else's expense. You cannot be a welfare state with weak immigration policy. It's the elephant in the room no one wants to talk about.

Rather you follow Tariq or not, the whole idea that policies like M4A are trickle down economics comes from his politically ignorant ass and is not based on any facts or data. Just a cool term that can be repeated and dumbasses can spout and believe without thinking critically.

M4A is not a farce. It is working for every other country that is using it with way better outcomes than the US has ever produced.

As far as immigration, immigration in this country is already in check. The US's immigration issue is just a dogwhistle that is overblown by the right wing to give people something to be scared about and a set of people to look down upon instead of the powerfully rich who the gov't has created a welfare state for through right wing policy.

Undocumented immigration is at a 12 year low. Arrests at the border is at a 50 year low. There is no correlation between immigration and unemployment rates. And lastly, non citizens are LESS LIKELY to use government assistance programs.

Not a Bernie bro but folks been misrepresenting him on reparations when all he's guilty of is raising valid questions about the specifics of reparations. Even on here for all the talk on ADOS and reparations, there's been very little talk on specifics. I'm not certain reparations should even be an agenda worth fighting for if you dont have any idea about what it is you demand. There at least needs to be some consensus on the subject. You cant demand something that hasn't been specified.

Shhhhh breh your using too much logic. Everyone obviously knows what reparations means, which is why no one has bothered to explain on what that entails outside of a vague cash payout

 

[Genos]

breh bernie was out there protesting back in them days
if you think he hasnt been told what we want then i got beach front property to sell you

he knows exactly what can be done to understand what ados needs for reparations since his own folks got them for the holocaust

Why dont you say what it is since it's so obvious and apparently a plan since the 60s when he was protesting

With that said, that's more than Bernie is willing to do. His audience White and he needs them to get over the line. He doesn't have anything in his campaign to help Black people. He believes that all of his policies when enacted will help ALL people. For all the shyt that Reagan gets for trickle down economics, Bernie's policies and ideas are the far left version of it. Specific legislation and programs are needed to help lift Black people. Medicare for All and "free" college isn't going to do that.

bernie whole thing is income / class inequality. Helping Lowe class folks directly helps us, since we're at the bottom of society in terms of wealth

Free college, free education ain't gonna help us? Free Medicare, when we dying of preventable diseases isn't gonna help us

If blacks were a big enough demographic and had more power, all these politicians would be knee deep in demanding reparations. They're only tiptoeing around it because blacks do not have a big enough vote to make up for the many non-blacks who oppose raparations. It's that simple.

 

[Amerikan Melanin]

If a candidate ran on a reparations platform and called black people by name they would get a huge turnout. We can mobilize when we need to.

 

[staticshock]

fukk Bernie Sanders. Act like a decrepit Jewish socialist from Vermont is going to give descendants of slaves reparations, brehs.

Aren’t you from Vermont or New Hampshire or some cac State?

That’s ya boy

They can run on it and they will be left with no choice soon.

The other races will vote the same percentage.

More black votes can determine the election.

Not to mention not all Black folks are on the same page. The majority of Black voters are unfamiliar with ADOS and by default dont take the subject of reparations seriously. Not saying that cant change before elections are upon us, but as of now both are not national conversations. In addition as it stands right now there are still no specifics on what folks want in the form of reparations. Folks literally have no idea what they're demanding at this time.

This is honestly the dumbest thing I've seen written here in quite some time....and that's saying something!!
To act like the word 'reparations' is somehow foreign to a politician,let alone Durrnie is laughable, and shows you just how well groomed 'Black' ppl have become to being reduced to an after-thought. The low self-esteem is striking....ask Flanders, or anyone else about any obscure, vague policy, or political musing that'll help any other group within the 'POC', coalition, they'd be singing more than Tekashi, but when it comes to us, we gotta give a 60 year career politician/faux civil rights leader 'specifics'.Smh

No they can't that would be basically forfeiting the election.

In case you haven't realized white people regardless of their political affiliations vote white first

There be more black voters so it will even out.

They will still get a big enough white percentage.

Alot of these white liberals are no different than their white conservative counterparts.

When it comes down to it they'd vote for Trump before they vote for reparations to help black people.
