if you would like candidates to address your concerns, it might help to stop claiming they're incapable of understanding things. this ridiculous arrogance coming out of crt is not only unhelpful, it's flatly wrong.
i'm not going to speak for sanders, but me let me say this: i fully understand what you're saying. but, i also deeply disagree with you.
i am colour blind. i am not racist. and, fuck you for implying that i am.
i don't want to organize with people that erect intellectual hierarchies before a discourse even begins.
rather, here's the truth: american minorities continue to align themselves with capitalist power hierarchies. and, the reason is that american minorities are the most ideologically capitalist voters on the planet.
it's all about the bling, nigga. it has nothing to do with racism.

black voters do not believe that the solution to their problems lays in state aid or social programs. rather, they believe the answer lies in hard work and strong policing. they don't want free health care, they want a fair chance at one day owning their own migrant worker.
it is you, sir, that do not get it.
white people grow up listening to hippie folk music that tells us that money is the root of all evil. black people grow up listening to hip-hop artists that tell us that money is the source of all happiness. it transfers over to every other type of media, and has entrenched itself in popular consciousness. then, we wonder why blacks vote for capitalism and whites vote against it?
i bet bernie would have loved to get beyonce up on the podium with him. she's not going to do it for free, though.
what's happening is reflective of reality: most black americans are voting for the hyper-capitalist, interventionist neo-liberal that wants to bring in a police state because that's what they actually want. if they wanted otherwise, they'd vote otherwise.
the left needs to do outreach to change how minorities think, not change itself to make itself more amenable to minorities. and, fuck you if you don't like it.
