Everybody has melanin and the degree to which you have it has to do with where your ancestors came from as it has to do with the ability to manufacture vitamin d and provide protection. AA have a heritage of evolving in intense sun. Norwegians don't. Stop being racist. And stop posting shit from people who sound stuuupid.

Seems like he has a respectable amount of support from African Americans.

Joe Biden has amassed a staggering lead among older African Americans, commanding nearly two-thirds support of black voters 65 and older in the most recent Morning Consult poll. Bernie Sanders is the favorite of black millennials, though his margin with that group is much smaller. Among all black voters, Biden is leading Sanders, 41 percent to 20 percent.

Bernie is probably my least favorite democratic candidate and I will say that with full disclosure.

Bernie endorsed a congressional candidate in my district and had a big rally to announce it in 2018. It let out downtown and I was at a burger place before a hockey game.

It was the biggest rally by far by any candidate when he came into town. His candidate still lost the primary.

She gets it out to his supporters now(where there is almost 100% overlap) and then simply gets to move on when he receives no delegates. One of the least risky political moves out there with no real negatives or skin in the game. She had to do it now as it would have looked really foolish for her to wait until he is polling in the single digits. Their base would view that as selling out and not being there for him.

Insignificant for Sanders and a win win for AOC personally.
