Bernie Sanders On Racial Justice

and that is that is racial justice in America nnj

now in my view as a nation we have a great deal to be proud in terms of becoming a less discriminatory

society ducks we have come a long long way in the last fifty or sixty you

if we were here forty years ago and somebody said you know I think that in two thousand in a the

on his ideas and not the color of your skin very few people would

have thought forty years ago that that would have been possible but it happened nnj

in the usual here is not whether you like Barack Obama or not is a friend of mine I like nndb

that's not the point the point is that as a nation we have become mature enough to

vote for candidates based on what they stand for rather then

their race and that is a huge step forward for our country we should be proud of

nnj one but when we talk about making our country kind

of nation we want it to be we all understand that we still have a very long

way to go in combat in institutional racism nnj

and all of you know and certainly that racism is a live and well in America and

I'm not just talking I'm not just talking about a very very sick person in Charleston South Carolina a couple months ago who

walked into a Bible prayer session trade with people in the world and then because they will block he

took out his gun and killed not that is hard to even understand what goes on in a sick mind that

those and I'm not just talking about the hundreds of groups in this country organization whose

sole function for existence is to propagate hate yes I hate groups these are groups these

are groups whose sole reason for existence it's the hate blacks and gays and

I talk about institutional race I am also talking about people like

about on on African Americans well let me say this nnj

mn I was a male for eight years and in that capacity I had the

privilege of working with then in women in all pleased about what I want to tell is that the vast majority of police officers in

this country are honest and workload nnj not anybody please being
