Democrat Presidential Candidate: “White People Don’t Know What It’s Like to Be Poor”

March 7, 2016 by V the K

According to Democratic-Socialist Bernie Sanders, White People don’t experience poverty and are never hassled by the police.

“When you’re white, you don’t know what it’s like to be living in a ghetto and to be poor,” Sanders said. ”You don’t know what it’s like to be hassled when you walk down the street or get dragged out of a car. I believe as a nation in the year 2016, we must be firm in making it clear: We will end institutional racism and reform a broken criminal justice system.”

The other Democratic-Socialist agreed, and said that “racism (is) stalking our country.”

Promoting this false narrative — that everything, always, is about race — for purely political purposes is possibly the most destructive thing the Democrats have done to our country. And that is saying a lot.

I know exactly what it is like to be poor from years of experience; what I don’t know is what it’s like to be so stupid you would actually want to vote for one of those two people; although this offers a clue:

    It’s nice to opine that the Everything Is About Race narrative is false, but it’s not. Why? Because they will always, always, make that the primary issue. It’s the source of all their power and the greatest weapon they have against The Most Foolish People On The Planet. Trying to remain above the fray when your enemy has made you, as White, the fundamental problem, is suicidal. You don’t have a choice about that anymore.

    My oldest son is white… He was 12 when he came to live with us. He never had 3 meals a day. He was lucky if he had one. His food was given to him on a plate on the floor. He had exactly 2 pair of underwear, 2 shirts, and 1 pair of pants when he “moved” in. He had never been to the dentist.

    His room had a cardboard box for the extra pair of underwear and the the extra shirt, a mattress on the floor and the kitty litter box.

    He could not read, write, or do any type of math. He never had a children’s toy. At 12, he was fascinated with Fisher-Price toys.

    Perhaps Mr. Sanders needs to meet him and his 5 maternal half siblings and his 3 paternal half siblings.

    @ TnnsNe1: But see, he still has White Privilege, because overtime he turns on a TV, there’s a higher chance of the first person he sees being another white person than a black person does of seeing another black person.

    No, I’m not kidding; that was cited by an article in Slate as an example of White Privilege.

    @Sean L, oh, the stupid…it burns….

    So, if I lived in Zimbabwe, would I be experiencing Black Privilege? Or perhaps Asian Privilege in Japan?

    Thank God there are sane blacks out there.

    That bastard is old enough he should be able to remember when 7yo white boys slaved in coal mines to help feed their families. The coal breaker boys that grew old got to see their taxes pay for Puerto Ricans In Puerto Rico collect social security disability for No Speak English. Someone needs to take Bernie and Hilldawg to West Virginia

    @ Craig Smith: Silly rabbit, there’s no such thing as Black Privilege, because only white people need to be made to feel bad about their racial heritage!

    What Bernie means is, “the privileged upper class white people who support me have no idea what it’s like to be poor.”

    This is true. Reminds me of an old Johnny Carson joke: “Three words the rich and famous will never hear: ‘Attention Kmart Shoppers!’” (Even though there’s been a Kmart in Manhattan for a number of years now.)

    Mark Steyn commented on Bernie’s remark today. Mark noted that when he drives through VT towns not associated with ski resorts, they aren’t in good shape. Apparently, VT has a heroin and meth problem. I guess Bernie doesn’t get out much.

    Not to far from my office, it’s mostly white and dirt poor – looks worse than the projects. I don’t think there’s much crime in the way of assaults, robberies, etc. But if you’re missing copper wiring, there’s a good chance it’s here.

    I think poor, working class white Americans would have enough common sense not to vote for Bernie Sanders.
