He said 'the Blacks'? Yeah that's a little weird. What do you think he thinks in regards to Black people in general? (Honest question, not trying to lay a weird trap or anything)

I think that Sanders is a genuine dude and I am sure he doesn't dislike black people and he got arrested in the 60s doing antisegregation poo poo so I don't think this is the one place where he is totally bullshitting.

He might not have a lot of every day familiarity with black folk though given his area of residence.

If you've ever been through rural West Virginia, like I have, you would feel bad for them as well as other generationally impoverished communities.

Hope Bernie does better

I really doubt any of them had better than boilerplate answers for 'yea but what of white people issues hmmm?' Sanders is giving his generic rising tide lifts all boats speech it sounds like.

Tying this back to trade policy is an *extremely* Bernie answer, and exactly what you'd expect him to say, but it's probably too wonky to segue into here.

Bernie Sanders recognizes class as an important uniter across race. That's the difference.

It's like listening to my 8th grade history teacher. When he went over post civil war he spent most of his time on how rich whites were spending all their time trying to keep poor whites and blacks from uniting and turning against them.

Yea I think they both made valid, if generic, points. Bernie had good stats, Hillary talked about poo poo like how Appalachia is basically dying in front of us. Good answers to a weird question.
