Roland Martin Calls Out Bernie Bros: A Lesson in Messaging & Racial Awareness

[Hardkill]

I just watched Roland Martin call out Bernie supporters for how they talk about Black voters—some of it borderline racist. He made strong points about how progressives often overlook the lived realities of African-American communities.

I really respect Roland’s sensible take on politics, especially when it comes to race and power in America. He brings clarity most progressives seem to miss.

Curious what others here think—why do you think Bernie never won most Black voters, even with his policies?

This guy is a shill who made the Kamala campaign spend their funds to pay him to interview her. Odds are hes a paid operative.

The fact is he got his way, Bernie lost in both primaries he ran in partially because of many black voters. Yet despite this leading to disasters of two trump terms he just doubles down on accusing Bernie of racism for daring to suggest maybe something aside from the failed approach should be tried.

Dude, have you met and talked to many people who are about age 40 and older in the South and asked them what they think about Bernie Sanders? Have you talked to many people who are about age 40 and older in Middle America and asked them what they think about Bernie Sanders? 

Remember, more than 66% of voters throughout the whole country are middle-aged to senior age, including most black voters, most brown voters, and most white voters in the USA. I bet if you ask most Democratic voters in the South and Middle America what they think about Bernie Sanders, most of them will tell you how crazy or extreme he is because he calls himself a socialist, doesn't seem to believe in God or Judeo-Christian values, can't relate well to them culturally, and doesn't even really visit their areas often like more moderate or center-left Democrats do.

Hell, even my parents who are older than 75 years old, have been lifelong Democratic voters, and have only ever voted for Democrats up and down the ballot, have said that they don't like Bernie Sanders.
