A VIDEO: Why African Americans are on FIRE for Bernie Sanders



We are the people. We are the media. And we’re ON FIRE for Bernie !!
SHARE THIS VIDEO IF YOU FEEL DA BERN !! (facebook, twitter, blogs,…).

THE CHANTS ARE GROWING LOUDER. The more of us that start voicing our opinions earlier, the more other people start getting informed or wanting to be informed. And that's really what this is all about. It's about awareness. We need to see the light before it’s too late.

WE SUPPORT BERNIE SANDERS. Because he is genuine, he is honest and he has integrity and he is the only presidential candidate who has decades long consistency in taking a principled stand to confront, proclaim, and fight to address the issues that are most important to most Americans.

THE SANDSTORM IS COMIN’!! 80% of young people did not vote. His biggest supporter is young people. Vets love him, he is fighting for the elder, middle class. And it's time for whites and blacks to do something that the government hates and that's for us to finally come together for good. With Bernie we can do that!

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH IS ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. It is an outrage that we are still seeing intolerable acts of violence being perpetrated by police and racist acts of terrorism by white supremacists. African-American and Latinos comprise well over half of all prisoners, even though they make up approximately one quarter of the total US population.

SO PLEASE SHARE THIS VIDEO TO GET THIS POLITICAL REVOLUTION ROLLIN’. We need a societal transformation to make it clear that black lives matter and racism will not be accepted in a civilized country. Let’s stand together against Wall Street and the corporate media for a United States for all of us !!

if you wish to post the video in a thread, as it will only show up as annoying text next to the video, The video will work in the DU post without that bit anyway, not sure why or how it is like that but it is.

The Op can answer your other question.

For future reference, right click over the video and among the options on the list is "copy video url", you then can paste it. I know for certain this works if you have a youtube account which I do, not sure about if you don't since I have had the account for eons.
(not that i remember the password anymore however as I have not used it since '04.

People in Chicago know he's the real deal. And they know that Rahm backs HRC.

I absolutely love this video. All of it is great, but that scene near the end really brought tears to my eyes. Just looking at people of all different nationalities so happily trying to embrace him is just so powerful. He is truly a man who can represent every single human being in our great Country of mixed heritages. That is exactly what we need at this moment in time.

This video bears evidence that when he says "We are all in this together" he truly means it. It is just not a political theme, but a simple fact he believes in and wants us all to embrace.

I'm sure we all actually thought all Blacks did the exact same thing all the time. Gosh...we so dumb!

17. I don't think it was suggested that the entire Black community supports Bernie.

Not only do many African-Americans support Clinton, some even support Donald Trump.

Ben Carson for example!
