wrt to empowering the people, ALL the people.

What I don't get is how those who claim to care about Civil Rights are not interested in empowering minorities economically. In fact it's almost as if they want to suppress any discussion of Economic Justice for AAs.

Bernie of course is right. They don't agree with him that AAs must have equal access to economic justice. Shameful imo, and makes me wonder why???
