You don't have to pass race-specifc legislation to benefit minorities. Even under aca blacks are significantly more likely to be uninsured than whites. Bernie would do more for black Americans than Obama ever did.
significantly? a lot of them got access to subsidized health insurance and Medicaid.
Repugs blocked anything else that Barry tried to do that could have helped everybody, including blacks.
btw, Obama is President of all Americans, not just blacks. If he had done anything that significantly, specifically helped blacks, no doubt you rightwingnuts would have been whining, ing, screaming racism.

Bernie, or Hillary, won't be able to do because the Repug Congress will continue to obstruct all Dem bills.
I'd like to see the FEDERAL minimum wage raised to $25/hr over 10 years, and indexed to inflation and regional cost of living.
That would be a huge help to poor blacks, esp poor black single mothers. And below a certain income, a family would get free child care, since child care costs often eat nearly all the poor woman's take home pay. It doesn't pay some poor mothers to find work because child care is so expensive.
I'm in favor of min wage increases, but it has to be able incremental. Min wage workers demanding it go instantly up to $15 are nuts. I've worked the same part time job for a small business for year while in school, and I know how much money they generate. I'd be laid off before I ever saw 15 an hour I'd they went for that instant hike

How about Paul Ryan with the GOP interns?
Notice anything missing?
Maybe you can find it here.

Not nearly sanctimonious enough ...

Local staff where exactly?
Context matters. Would this be as remarkable, that a locality that was predominantly white?
Why or why not?
How would that differ from a pool of candidates drawn from the entire country?
Someone who blames poor people for being born poor calling someone else sanctimonious.

They look well fed to me.
Virtue signal harder.
I guess you don't like white people?

I like white people. Some of my best friends are white.
Always happy to rub your nose in your de able comments. Feel free to show a shred of humanity and regret wishing slow miserable deaths on children for something their parents did.
or not. Your call.
Illinois senator rebuked for cringeworthy debate comment about opponent’s heritage
Illinois Sen. Mark Kirk is under fire for a racially charged quip made against Democratic challenger Rep. Tammy Duckworth after questioning her family’s military service.
During Thursday night’s debate, Duckworth, who was born in Thailand to a mother of Chinese descent and a white father from the United States, proudly cited the extensive record of military service on her father’s side of the family, stretching back to the dawn of the country.
Duckworth, an Iraq War veteran and former assistant secretary of Veterans Affairs, argued that it’s important that senators understand the burden carried by military families when debating whether to send the nation’s men and women in uniform into harm’s way.
“My family has served this nation in uniform going back to the Revolution. I’m a daughter of the American Revolution. I’ve bled for this nation,” she said at the University of Illinois in Springfield. “But I still want to be there in the Senate when the drums of war sound, because people are quick to sound the drums of war, and I want to be there to say, ‘This is what it costs; this is what you’re asking us to do. And if that’s the case, I’ll go.’ Families like mine are the ones that bleed first.”
When it was Kirk’s turn to respond, the Republican uttered a single sentence that was intended to be a zinger but merely resulted in awkward silence: “I had forgotten that your parents came all the way from Thailand to serve George Washington.”

(edit)
Looks like this is going to be a +1 Dem Senate seat, -1 GOP.
Also:
Donald J. Trump.
They can't help themselves. And they don't even try.
Repug = racist, xenophobe, misogynist, liar.
Your crusade is truly admirable. And not at all pathetic. You're having a real impact, keep it up...
