(14,733 posts)It's great that Bernie marched with him.
But we need to stay focused on what Bernie will do for black people in office. His racial justice platform worked up after meeting with CampaignZero is a great start. He should expand upon that, and deliver SPECIFIC promises on things he will have the power to do through executive order, and that he WILL do in his first hundred days.
We can't win over black voters and then simply ignore them once in office, as every prior campaign has done. We need Bernie to make public promises, and carry through on them.
