I don't think you know what blatantly racist means.

Anyone who doesn't think that comment is racist is seriously delusional or a devoted Sanders acolyte. And we don't even have to use the expanded millennial/tumblr definition of racism, either. So yeah, it's pretty blatant.

"If you are white, you don't know what it is like to live in the ghetto. If you are white, you don't know what it is like to be poor." - Bernie Sanders

If any other candidate said something like this they'd be crucified.

Agreed. Plenty of white people live in severe poverty, to include living in section 8 housing. This comment is clearly racist.

Not to mention being black doesn't implicitly mean you grew up in a ghetto.

Both D candidates are brimming with "vote for me black people" and show their own ignorance on the matter.

Hillary goes from "white people need to stay in their lane and listen to blacks" one day and shooing a black from her speech the next (black protester was quoting Clinton in 1994 when she said blacks need to heel).

Sanders is just a carbon copy of modern academia. Neither really tackle the issue without using white guilt rhetoric.

Guess Bernie has never been to parts of Appalachia.

Nobody politics for their vote.

Nobody really cares about poor in Appalachia. You're mocked in the media and by society and you get no real say in politics.

Just mine that coal and get poisoned by runoff you swine. You're not poor and you're not a victim of corporate slavery either. You're white, silly.

Had a 'dream' last night that Trump messed up badly and Cruz won enough delegates to get the nomination. Luckily this dream ended quickly and segued to a more pleasurable scene let's say!

A lot of people on Facebook are claiming Fox News misquotes Bernie and that the statement was from a BLM activist

Foreign diplomats voicing alarm to US officials about Trump - AOL

Foreign diplomats are expressing alarm to U.S. government officials about what they say are inflammatory and insulting public statements by Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump, according to senior U.S. officials.

Officials from Europe, the Middle East, Latin America and Asia have complained in recent private conversations, mostly about the xenophobic nature of Trump's statements, said three U.S. officials, who all declined to be identified.

The three officials declined to disclose a full list of countries whose diplomats have complained, but two said they included at least India, South Korea, Japan and Mexico. U.S. officials said it was highly unusual for foreign diplomats to express concern, even privately, about candidates in the midst of a presidential campaign. U.S. allies in particular usually don't want to be seen as meddling in domestic politics, mindful that they will have to work with whoever wins.

Well no kidding they voice concern. He's calling them out on getting the better end of our trade deals and he going to put a stop to it.

Probably. Even though I'm not a Trumpeter I don't see this as a bad thing. About every country on earth save maybe Canada only care about what they can get from us or what we can do for them. They do not have our interests at heart.

I get it. We all want to be equal. There is a double standard when it comes to how we percieve poor blacks and poor whites. But acting as if Bernie Sanders is racist toward poor white people and that his comment is more racist than anything that has came out of Donald Trumps mouth is absolutely idiotic. Blatantly saying Mexicans are rapist, Muslims should be banned from this country, and not condemning the KKK when given an opportunity (who the **** doesn't condemn the KKK. It's like when a girl asks if you think she is skinny. You say yes. When someone says will you condemn the KKK, you say yes), are blatantly racist actions. I just don't agree on your stance of what racism is. But I respect your courage to stick up for poor whites across America.

He condemned them multiple times prior. The only people making it an issue are the establishment types

Also Trump was endorsed by a Civil Rights activist
