Bernie Panders pandermonia: It's Clear That Black Lives Matter More Than Others
2015-10-07
[Daily Caller] In a Monday interview with "Ebony," Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders said that after meeting with movement organizers, he now understands why "Black Lives Matter is more significant than All Lives Matter."

"We met on several occasions and those meetings have all been very productive. Many white people are not sensitive to the kind of abuse that African Americans, especially younger African Americans, receive at the hands of police officers and police departments," explained the 74-year-old socialist.

"For most whites their experience with the police has been good or neutral because they don't interact with the police as much as those in the black community."

Additionally, Sanders pointed to the recent death of Sandra Bland to illustrate his point.

#10  want all police to wear cameras

A curious public is clamorous
To fit other people with cameras:
The police, politicians,
Thugs, athletes, physicians,
And husbands of beauties most amorous.

#8  How about all lives matter until you piss me off?

I know with dhimocrats it is, "All lives matter as long as they are convenient to our causes"

#7  "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely". Some of the individuals with a badge are on a power trip! I am white and I want all police to wear cameras. In my opinion this will prevent me from having a bad day when the police person is having one!

#6  Black lives and also Palestinian lives. The Times of Israel reports about the campaign apologizing for ejecting a Palestinian group from a rally on Saturday. Candidate Sanders is neatly being roped into the current Progressive shibboleths despite his previous vaunted independence. It seems the price for his soul is a small one, merely his lifelong, heartfelt beliefs -- it just wasn't worth collecting when he only represented a minor state in the Senate.

#4  As Theodore Dalrymple points out in detail in Life At The Bottom, the problem is not one of race, but of the behaviours of the bottom class, which in Britain is white. There, as here, the behaviours and the reasons given for them have been provided by nearly a century of bien pensants, the self-proclaimed leading thinkers of the age.

#1  "For most whites their experience with the police has been good or neutral because they don't interact with the police as much as those in the black community."

Is it because Whites don't resist arrest, argue with the officer, attack police, riot, or commit crimes that result in arrest?
