What don't you agree with him about? I completely support Bernie that social injustice is a symptom of economic injustice. I think when, for example, many white people see a poor black man, they probably don't see someone that's been screwed by the system. Those people may cut straight to judgement of that individual, and that is definitely not what we want. I also think its very hard to change views of entire groups of people (i.e. black people in Baltimore, cops in Baltimore, etc.) I think instead of merely saying, "Everyone is equal and should love each other," I think we should rather find out why people can't do that.
Do I support Bernie Sanders any less though because of his view? Nope. I think if we are going to begin tackling any issue it should be economics in the U.S. because it is a system that contributes in large to issues of race, and even gender. I'm just not convinced that social injustice will be undone when we reach that point because certain ideals held about race, and gender have been instilled for countless generations.
I can definitely see where you're coming from on that. I guess we'll just have to see where economic justice takes us. I was taking a leadership course at one point in my life and the lesson they drilled into our heads was something like, "You eat an elephant one bite at a time.*" *No elephants were harmed in the making of this post.
