re this issue, they suddenly developed an interest in, will now be very supportive of this woman and her efforts on behalf of AAs whose lives have not been protected for decades, from brutal, racist cops. AND from the results of the Tough on Crime legislation that has led to the disproportionate incarceration of poor minorities.

She is someone who can actually get something done. So I expect we will see a lot of support for her here.

especially when Symone called-out the private prison industry as one
of the more horrid aspects of mass incarceration of PoC in the USA.

because he WAS talking the main issues that have so brutalized the AA community and when she saw the nasty, Rovian smears against him, she could not allow it to continue, to take away the one candidate who for decades, has been on her side. So she contacted his campaign and I'm sure, was determined to put a stop to the viciousness aimed at him and his supporters.

And yes, her focus on that issue was a message to other AAs about just who has been supporting them, since the Civil Rights movement, to the Jesse Jackson campaign, right up to the present day.

I am sick to death of the nasty, smear campaigns and the hypocrisy of those who are aiding and abetting them.

This thread, if there was any sincerity at all re the vile use of the Race Card we have seen, would have hundreds of recs for THIS WOMAN alone.

I'm so glad she reached out to him. This woman is incredible.

Very, very good move by Bernie to bring her in.
