As someone born and raised in Mississippi, it’s real interesting to see the criticism of Bernie Sanders’ criticism of the Democratic Party, when many people won’t step foot in the state, or only mention it as a downtrodden place or as a punchline.
Black people in Mississippi are looking for a candidate that truly shows up and works in their best interest, not just kiss babies and sing hymns in churches before tossing the state to Republicans in the general election.
And this is not an endorsement of Bernie Sanders. But if he’s doing it wrong, point me to the politician (on the national stage) that’s doing right by Mississippi.
Political duopoly should be dismantled, period. So it’s interesting that some Black Democrats will be outraged about coalition-building with the “white working-class,” but will jump through hoops to align with the white corporate class. How’s that work? Is their racism sweeter?
