Bernie Sanders Apologizes For Slavery, Demands We Compensate African Americans Were hoping that the American public sees past Bernie Sanders latest attempt to win the support of minority voters. During a recent appearance at Tindley Temple United Methodist church, Sanders apologized for slavery and promised reparations in the form of building up African-American communities. Theres nothing that anybody can do to undo the deaths and misery, how many people we dont even know who died on the way over here in the ships, Sanders commented. I think my view is pretty close to President Obamas, and that is we understand the legacy of slavery, he continued. We understand that. As everybody in this room knows, what were seeing in many African-American communities, is outrageously high levels of unemployment, inadequate education, inadequate healthcare, Sanders argued. I think what we have got to do as a nation is invest in those communities who need thatinvestment the most. As if that werent blatant enough, Sanders went on to claim that communities facing long-term structural issues should become the communities that receive the highest priority for federal assistance. Let us make sure that in every way, federal funding goes to those communities who need it the most, Sanders concluded. In most case, though, those areas are inhabited by blacks. What do you think of Bernies comments? Could he be any more transparent? This is pathetic!
