Hillary supporters are lazy.....instead of moving they say well she is more acceptable.
a coon CANNOT be on the right side of civil rights issues.
I have enormous respect for John Lewis, but found this funny.
He contradicts himself:
From Conversations: William Jefferson Clinton : from Hope to Harlem. Page 317
google books
In the 60's Hillary was a Goldwater girl
Agreed, no mention of her Goldwater past?
Man listen, when a CAC gets black people to start calling civil rights leaders coons because they don't support him, that's when I know the Bernie koolaid is strong as fuck.
Man, Bernie could tell these dude to walk into traffic and the board would lose a third of its members.

Back then no but today, this time and now YES absolutely they are coons
Lewis is the one making it sound like she was present and Sanders was not during that time ... But he's already on record saying he hadn't even heard of Bill until the 70's. He's full of shit on this one. He's tap dancing for the Clintons by misleading (Black) people going into SC into thinking Hillary was in thick of it when in reality she was a teenager who was feeling Goldwater.
He should've Just keep it 100
But while Lewis is carefully using his words to make it appear that Bill and Hillary were known to him during the civil rights movement and he questions Sanders there is a picture of Sanders participating in the march but where are Bill and Hillary ?
Lewis has been part of the democratic establishment playing on the rock to his head for 50 years. Lewis is never in front speaking out with Conyers ad Cummings. He isn't standing along side Waters when she is bringing the noise. Instead he is forgiving the crakka who abused him.
Just because he was in the fight 50 years ago doesn't mean he is still in the fight. Remember Eldridge Cleaver , where he started and where he ended.
’94 Clinton Crime Bill: Fmr. Black Caucus Chair Tells Big Fat Fib on @MSNBC - See more at: http://www.crewof42.com/cbc-2/94-cl...ls-big-fat-fib-on-msnbc/#sthash.JzzeV0BI.dpuf
Voice Vote on the Largest Crime Bill in American History? Um, No. Former Congressional Black Caucus Chair Kweisi Mfume, who represented Baltimore in the 1990s, told a big fib on MSNBC on Tuesday night (see video below). The lie: That there was no vote on the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, aka the Clinton Crime Bill, and that it passed by “voice vote.” No it didn’t. The final vote on August 21, 1994 is right here.
Not only was there was a vote on the final bill — which former Rep. Kweisi Mfume votes YES on — there was a massive rule fight that held up the bill from getting to the floor in the first place. Why? Because a coalition of members against the bill including seven members of the Congressional Black Caucus fought hard against it coming to the floor. Mfume was not one of those members.
It gets worse: After talking to members and staff who worked on the Clinton Crime bill in 1994, they confirm that Mfume assisted the Clinton Administration in picking off Black Caucus votes to get the bill to floor. Realize, the Clinton Crime Bill greatly furthered the war on drugs, rewarded states with money for locking people up, strengthened mandatory minimum policies, included $9 billion for prisons and added 100,000 police. Guess which communities bore the brunt of all that? The prison population in American grew 800% during the Clinton presidency. So let’s not be coy, the Clinton Crime Bill was a disaster for Black communities. See NPR piece from Sept. 2014
Vice President Biden, Rahm Emanuel and Sen. Chuck Schumer played huge roles in making sure the Clinton Crime Bill became law as did Mfume. Own it. There were members at the time who figured out that $9 billion for prisons and 100,000 more cops would impact Black communities (see Maxine Waters, Bobby Scott, Lou Stokes…). Mfume was not one of those members.

Sanders campaign has already admitted this isn't Sanders.
But I'm gonna let y'all finish.
Yep. Think about it. Black men are in here calling John Lewis a coon to help a Jewish dude from the second whitest state in America who also says our problems are economic and not racism.
We got a special bunch in here.
Link?
is this true. I know they started to hit Obama with the he ain't black enough bullshit. But I cannot believe support from the cbc was that low.

because that's what she saying in these debates. She wants the status quo.
he was talking about chitown back in the 60'sBut i thought he never met him?
Not everyone voted for that fuckery...
But as for Sanders, found out about that the other day. They create the problem now want to campaign on fixing it. Fuck everyone. At this point, I'm just voting to keep Republicans out. Fuck Hillary and fuck Sanders.
yes he did along with the majority of the congress.
but this was him talking about the issues that caused what he thought was the need......what was Hillary saying then and is it consistent with what she is saying now ?
NOPE

Black Caucus divided over Obama
By JOSEPHINE HEARN
January 17, 2008
Even though Barack Obama may become the first African-American ever to represent a major party as the nominee for president, many black lawmakers on Capitol Hill are not supporting him. And that’s creating tensions within the Congressional Black Caucus.
More than a third of the black members of Congress are backing Hillary Rodham Clinton or John Edwards in the presidential primary, a stance that puts them at odds with many of their African-American constituents, who, recent polls show, are beginning to shift to Obama’s camp.
The Clinton supporters — among them, civil rights pioneer Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) and Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charles B. Rangel (D-N.Y.) — have said their endorsements didn’t hinge on race. Instead, they cited long-standing relationships with the Clintons, a respect for Hillary Clinton’s experience in national politics and, for some, geographical alliances with her in New York.
But now that Obama has won the Iowa caucuses and appears poised to do well in other early-primary states, some African-American lawmakers are pointing to the Clinton backers and calling them political opportunists who did not believe in the electability of a black candidate.

Dudes in here are doing some serious mental gymnastics. Hillary Clinton was evil to black America because she voted for the crime bill but Bernie Sanders was just doing what everyone else did even though he voted for her just like she did.
All this for a guy who didn't give two fucks about any black person until the black lives matter movement got in his face about it.
All this for a guy who when he met al Sharpton, a meeting he requested, and Al Sharpton ask him about race and income inequality he wouldn't answer the question.
All this for a man who actively try to get the Democratic Party to run a primary against the first black president in 2012. Think about that for a minute he actually wanted the Democratic Party to run a primary against a democratic sitting president. BLACK sitting president.

Bernie has never really addressed any kind of issues that really affect the black community. He will talk a good game talking about how economics will this list of everybody but really he's saying that because he wants to appeal to his white voters. So he won't say the issue is racism and we have to address that directly because those same liberal white voters will suddenly turn on him when they think that they're going to get something taken away from them. So he runs that stupid idea of it's about economics and not race when we've all seen that it is about race. History has shown when you have these programs and you don't factor in race once again you'll have all of the benefits of going to one group of people white people. You saw it with Social Security you see it with the GI Bill you saw it with FHA loans. The whole reason there's a white middle-class was because of all of those programs yet black people because of racism or cut out from any of those benefits. So it's not like we're pulling this out of our asses history has shown this is what happens but Bernie Sanders will tell you it's not about race it's about economics. That's bullshit.
One more thing. Bernie is out here promising people the world and he's not telling you how the hell he's going to do it. He's saying he's going to give everyone free college education and he's going to change the health care status so we're at single-payer healthcare. To do that it has to work with Congress. When asked how does he plan to make all this happen while working on Congress his exact answer is we're going to have a political revolution. Which is really a non fucking answer. We're supposed to have a political revolution driven by young voters but in the last two caucuses the actual amount of young voters was less than in 2008. Sanders of selling your wolf whistles and the people are falling over to want to believe him. Without even questioning how the fuck is going to do anything.
You dudes and hear better wake up really really quick. Because this next election will be the one that decides at least two to three Supreme Court nominations. And Bernie Sanders can't win and worse once that Republican slander machine really gets a hold of some dude like Bernie Sanders you won't believe what the fuck would happen.
@Darrkman that primary shit he was talking was because he ain't agree with the Pres compromises with republicans on the economy and fiscal policy.. That mofo was rabble rousing
Secondly don't lump me in with these other niggas drinking the Bernie kool aid but make no mistake who are you talking as the lesser of 2 evils? At least with Bernie he has been pretty consistent for damn near 30 years unlike Hillary who goes wherever the wind blows..
The bitch ain't genuine at all and that's not just on black issues..
Who you want in office? The 2 dems or the circus of clowns in the GOP running for President?

Fam Hillary didn't even vote for the crime bill. She wasn't in office.
Dudes are holding the crime bill against the candidate that didn't vote for it, but are makin excuses for the one that did.
Think about that for a minute.
Bernie could vote to re-institute slavery and dudes in here would say "Well his heart was in the right place"
Hillary had a lot of influence in policy with her Husband dont be fooled..
Dudes in here calling the CBC coons but Bernie getting asked direct questions and is saying that reparations is about all people....including rural whites:

Brah... You are not progressive if you think Sanders is on the far left. He is actually closer to the center than candidates that we have had who are more on the far right and that includes our present President.
And to say that Bernie Sanders is a socialist just speaks of ignorance. So, there is no way you are a progressive in any sense especially when what Sanders is saying lines up with the majority of Americans.
