Bernie Sanders says no to paying out slavery reparations. 'Well then that means a check to every Native American that were wiped out when the settlers came' by stableford
Fresh off his first rallies of the 2020 campaign, in Brooklyn and Chicago, Bernie Sanders on Monday sat down for a studio interview with “The Breakfast Club,” a syndicated radio show that originates on New York’s 105.1 FM and reaches a young, mostly African-American audience.
“Well, I think you need this one,” Sanders replied. “We are living in an unprecedented time. We have the most dangerous president in modern history of this country. He is somebody who is a pathological liar, a fraud, a racist, a sexist, a homophobe, a xenophobe ... this is a bad news guy.” At his rally Saturday on the campus of Brooklyn College, the self-described democratic socialist railed against the “prison-industrial-complex” that has disproportionately affected people of color. “We are going to end the international embarrassment of having more people in jail than any other country on earth,” Sanders said. No more private prisons and detention centers. No more profiteering from locking people up. No more ‘war on drugs.
In Chicago, Sanders recalled his time spent as a student at the University of Chicago, where he took part in sit-ins to protest the school’s segregated housing in the 1960s. He also reflected on taking a bus from Chicago to Washington, D.C., in 1963 to participate in the March on Washington, and to hear Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have A Dream” speech.
