You should ckeckout Wimbledon. Everyone plays on Grass

My favorite part of the protest was when they asked him to respond to their concerns and be held publicly accountable, then refused to give him the mic so he could do so.

I usually love Greg’s pieces, but the logic herein makes no sense. Sure, Bernie won’t be elected (neither will all but one of the other candidates running), and Bernie can’t fix racial injustice. As opposed to Jeb’s plan to do so? Trump’s?

You realize you proved him 100% right? This is typical millenial bullshit: Snark at others’ solutions; have none of your own.

That’s a load of crap. His stance on race issues has been a part of his platform since day 1. He just notified people after consolidating them all into their very own special section on his website so people would be more aware of his positions. So less morons would disrupt the one presidential hopeful who could help…

Did the most recent protest spark the upload of the his stance on race to his website? Likely. Did he manage between Seattle and Portland to craft “an extensive stand on race” for posting on his website? Highly unlikely. You don’t just throw together a policy position on the drive over for upload in the morning.

Well Sanders is a politician. He will, at all times, behave like a politician. But just as economic tools are an imperfect solution to racism but one I think worth embracing, Sanders is an imperfect candidate but also I think worth embracing because holy shit, the pickings are slim. I also don’t think Hamilton ever…

No, the Tea Party is extreme right and most of those people listed above agree with 90% of what the Tea Party demands. There is nothing “center” about any of the people listed above - except maybe Romney because who the hell knows what positions Romney actually holds at this point.

Yeah, exactly. Good point.

We Canadians find this parsing almost tooth-achingly cute. I imagine much of the rest of the world feels the same way.

Really? The Blacks in South Africa would be very interested in your opinions on this. Should Botha and de Klerk’s progeny reclaim what is theirs then?

What is colossally stupid is the number of people who criticize Sanders’s ideas (and Hamilton’s defense of them) without offering up ideas as to what Sanders/other candidates SHOULD do. It’s like you’re saying “Here’s a list of all this racist shit that’s wrong with this country!” And Sanders is like “OK, here is what…

Seems like a very all-or-nothing take. If Bernie can’t fix the problem 100%, on the day he takes office, then he’s ripe for criticism because he hasn’t done enough and won’t do enough in the future? Not really a fan of that analysis.

I have an honest question for you: why is #BLM so focused on Sanders? This isn’t saying that criticism of him is unfair or shouldn’t be said. Not by a long shot.

You know who else has the fucking Secret Service? Obama. You know who else has to face hecklers who get into his speeches? Obama. So that “Hillary has Secret Service” excuse is bull.

You’re totally right—instead of planning to alleviate racism with economic tools, Sanders should instead just plan to make every American sign a pledge stating “I won’t be racist.” That would be a much better solution.

“as well-meant as they are, they don’t address the fact that even if he wins, there’s still going to be racism and everything that comes with it”

Just like as well-meaning as this article is, Greg, it doesn’t address the fact that even if he, or any Democrat, no matter how progressive, wins, they’re going to be dealing…

Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

Hillary gets advance notice and a closed door private meeting, Sanders and O’Malley get ambushed. Right.
