Bernie has very effectively dealt with BLM criticism. He's not fallen into any of the traps.

"I have black friends, I'm not racist"


-The most white thing Bernie could possibly do.

If this is how people are actually going to respond then there really is literally nothing Bernie could do.

This is blatant pandering to blacks and if Clinton did it she'd be attached mercilessly.

Like I said before:

What an unbelievably patronising thread. Hardly any better than the "still on the plantation" rhetoric you hear from the right. The idea that black people will vote for someone just because you show people a couple of pictures of them and Jesse Jackson together is patently absurd and takes the audience for easily swayed simpletons.

It's clear that Sanders' approach to appealing to black voters is highly superficial and will not work.

Talking about issues doesn't work.

Straight up pandering  doesn't work.

So how DO you win the Black vote?

Apparently the only way is to be related to previous Democratic president and have 100% name recognition.

This is one of those impossible logic circles. It's like accusing someone of being an addict apropos of nothing and then responding to anything they say with "Oh, well that's exactly what an addict would say."

The people who have decided Bernie has an issue with black people require no proof, and no counter evidence will sway them.
