Race and our candidates platforms

A Tale of Two Websites

https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/

https://berniesanders.com/issues/

Let's go through a short checklist:

Veterans Issues: Bernie - Check. Hillary - Check.

LGBT Issues: Bernie - Check. Hillary - Check.

Women's Issues: Bernie - Check. Hillary - Check.

Racial Issues: Bernie - Check. Hillary.....Hey wait a minute!

Admittedly, I apparently have little understanding of how candidates should address minority communities. It apparently isn't enough to address issues like education opportunities, raising wages, and police violence...issues that affect everyone. At least my candidate has an issues page about it, though.
