YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWhen Sen. Bernie Sanders was asked a question about race during the PBS/Politico democratic presidential debate, the Senator from Vermont pivoted and started talking about climate change ... 🤔
Check out the transcript of the exchange between Sanders and debate moderator Amna Nawaz:
NAWAZ: Senator Sanders, I do want to put the same question to you, Senator Sanders. What message do you think...
SANDERS: I will answer that question, but I wanted to get back to the issue of climate change for a moment, because I do believe this is the existential issue.
NAWAZ: Senator, with all respect, this question is about race. Can you answer the question as it was asked?
(APPLAUSE)
SANDERS: I certainly can. Because people of color, in fact, are going to be the people suffering most if we do not deal with climate change.
(APPLAUSE)
And by the way, we have an obligation up here, if there are not any of our African-American brothers and sisters up here, to speak about an economy in which African-Americans are exploited, where black women die three times at higher rates than white women, where we have a criminal justice system which is racist and broken, disproportionately made up of African-Americans and Latinos and Native Americans who are in jail.
So we need an economy that focuses on the needs of oppressed, exploited people, and that is the African-American community.
