"When you are white, you don’t know what it’s like to be living in a ghetto," - Sanders

[MrSinnister]

There are more white people in the country so yeah.

These are the white people voting for either Trump or Sanders, so yeah, I get it.

Sanders saying to the whites voting for him that they will never understand what it's like being poor and black, living in an inner city wasn't a negative comment to me.

Whites aren't dealing with stop and frisk. White's aren't dealing with "hands up don't shoot" in the way black people are. The way their black, poor counterparts are. They will never really, fully understand that.

What's the issue with saying that?

Dude was even fixing it as he knew he'd caught himself saying something that could be misconstrued, and these fools still crying. Yes, White people have NO EARTHLY IDEA what it is like to be poor and in the ghetto, where you are trying to get to the ocean, as a sea turtle, with no entity giving a flying fukk about you.

I you're poor and White and scream rape, the cops would still shut the block down. Say that in a Black neighborhood, as Black, and he'd likely rape you too. No one knows how it is to have zero credibility, and seen as a subspecies, while also being profiled and targeted.

But that's too complicated a subject, so we peel off the crust and whine anyway.

Don't give a fukk tho. Bernie taking Michigan!

 

[MrSinnister]

The issue is he didn't say that, you're interpreting what you heard from his statement. What he said was white people will never know what it's like to be poor and in the ghetto.

Where are these "White ghettos" then if we're going to be so literal?

 

[LEEeveryday]

I would love for someone to ask Bernie how he has benefited from White Privilege. Just to shed some national light on the topic.

 

[Blackout]

Being poor isn't a black thing. fukk how can y'all want to be apart of something that thinks you're inherently poor & dumb and need Cac government help for surviving

We need something to address racism and if its the goverment then its better than nothing which we currently have.

Where is the lie?

I'm confused as to why this is offensive and don't get your outrage.

Ghetto refers to inner city.

A lot of people in poverty in inner cities deal with things like stop and frisk and all those harsh sentencing laws.

Being poor and white in this country is different from being poor and black and having to deal with racism.

Poor whites will never understand that, haven't ever understood it.

Nothing controversial or even disrespectful about saying that.

Agreed which is how this statement came to be:

"If you can convince the lowest(poorest) white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." ~

Real Median Household Incomes for all Racial Groups Remain Well Below Their 2007 Levels

Figure A in the link helps explain why Blacks support Clinton.

Black folks experienced unprecedented economic gains in the 90s. The graph demonstrates the sharp upwards trajectory for black household income starting around 92/93. It went up roughly 10k in about a 7 year period only to level off in the 2000s, and then fall off a cliff following the '08 collapse.

Corresponding with this violent crime in black communities was drastically reduced in the late 90s, after record high spikes during the late 80s/early90s. Of course draconian drug laws had unintended consequences that are being addressed, and even Hilary herself has come out against them in retrospect.

So in short, black neighborhoods became safer and more prosperous under Bill Clinton.

But I apologize for using available macroeconomic data concerning income and crime, versus lazy racist explanations that blacks support Clinton because they wanna nae nae with her, and play the sax with Billy Bob, which is becoming very popular with conservatives and Bernie Bots alike.

I get what you're saying about economic gain. At the same time mass incarceration skyrocketed and created the issues we have currently.. . People don't like Ms. Clinton for that reason.

Too true. That's been politics from 1969-2016 in the current era.

So you mean to tell me a white family living in a shack in the Appalachian Mountains stealing coal at night with a damn pick ax just to heat their house. That same family doesn't understand how it is to live in the projects? If anything the black folks in the projects have way more options to get out of the projects then they do in life.

you want a old white man doing that? What do you think he's going to do for us breh

 

[Blackout]

Better than nothing.

Nothing hasnt been able to do it for us.

You mean to tell me that those people do understand what it's like to live in the projects?

You mean to tell me that those people are dealing with racism and well as poverty?

Say what you will, but they will always have an advantage over your Black ass, if nearly everything was equal. Keep telling yourself otherwise.

This thread looks a lot like for White supremacy, just to troll Bernie.
