Bernie Sanders Quotes About Community

Quotes about: Community

• 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.

• What you don't see on television is people dying today because they can't get to a doctor and they can't afford prescription drugs. That's why they are also dying.

They're dying because they're living in communities where asthma rates are extremely high because the air is filthy. The suffering of the poor and working class people is a virtual nonissue for the media. But that is the reality.
