Joy Reid: why are black potential candidates getting singled out for attacks by Bernie people?

233. No doubt.

My fall back is to always remember the nation's history with African American people. 1971, just two years before I was born, was when as a nation, it was decided that Black people had the right to marry people of another skin color throughout the entire country. Just 7 years before that, legislation had to be made to explicitly tell people that discriminating against people because they were Black, or women, or other minority groups, was not legal. It is not a coincidence that all of the up and coming politicians (and seasoned one in the case of Hilary) are Black and/or women.

We can have discussions on progressive policies and messaging. We can discuss concerns over the level of involvement that a politician has with moneyed interests. I have no problem with that, but seriously be honest, and be consistent with your concern.
