In reply to the discussion: Convince me to stay a liberal. [View all]Kind of Blue
(8,709 posts)69. I don't know any POC who is politically
aware that has not been confused by Sanders' stance last summer. We think that we're natural socialists. That movement has always included us in this country but failed repeatedly not because we don't understand socialism, but I think for placating unhappy white people and always managing to leave us out. And Sanders this past summer was the current Exhibit A. Then we're back to unhappy white people every few decades and the process starts again. Few white friends', about 3 in real life, knee-jerk reaction has been the same but not vicious at all. But the majority have known better since birth it seems and just as frustrated as me and you, randys1.
