No Bernie, most blacks do not live in ghettos are not on welfare, do not use drugs and are not looking for free stuff.
Senator Sanders has great policies that would likely benefit POC but he still has an awkwardly, uncomfortable way of speaking to us about us.
Joy Reid lit-up Twitter last night after this awkward comment during the debate:
Jonathan Capehart said this:
The New York Times liveblog discussed it this way:
Guys, I may have missed this earlier, but did Bernie say "the ghetto" earlier in his answer about race?
He did say ghetto.
Alan, saying "ghetto" is ... not a great moment. It's also not that far off from Trump saying "the blacks."
Yeah, it's interesting how older candidates have to watch out for phrases that were seen as less controversial decades ago.
My prediction: This small dust-up will largely be ignored by the MSM but black radio will have a field-day with this and Bernie will lose even more ground with blacks in America.
