Lawrence O'Donnell is talking about Biden's amazing meeting with black reporters

[highplainsdem]

O'Donnell points out this kind of long conversation is almost unheard-of for a candidate.

Politico was also impressed:

1. Thank you for reporting on

what LO'D said, highplains.

Someone was talking about Biden being too this and too that and I linked that OP of yours.

Joe Biden took questions from black reporters for 90 minutes. He did not disappoint.

3. 'We Find Ourselves Excluded': Racial Justice Leaders Ask Bernie Sanders 'To Get With The Program'

In contrast, Bernie Sanders decided to hold a Sanders Institute event in Vermont dedicated to social justice, but then excluded grass roots civil rights activists from his own state. But don't worry, Cornell West was in attendance, perhaps boosting the Green Party.

As Bernie Sanders seeks to broaden his national appeal among the black and Latino voters who would be critical to his success in a 2020 presidential campaign, the white senator from Vermont is struggling to improve a complicated relationship with racial justice leaders in his own backyard.

In an open letter to Sanders and an institute that now bears his name, more than a dozen racial and social justice advocates from across the state write that they’ve been “excluded” from the “national progressive movement that Senator Bernie Sanders is trying to foster.”

The flashpoint for this latest conflict between Sanders and prominent Vermonters of color came last week, when the Sanders Institute hosted a three-day “gathering” in Burlington that convened progressive luminaries from around the world.

Notably absent from the event, according to signatories of the open letter to Sanders, were the racial justice leaders from Vermont who have been working for decades on the civil rights issues the event sought to address.

...really solve all problems.
