42. Bernie supports all your priorities.

He talks a lot about economic justice because none of the other candidates care about it and because it affects all of us.

Bernie never said racism was less important(he was only telling white people to look beyond color)and he never said economic justice was the ONLY thing that mattered.

It's not possible to fight racism and leave economic issues on the backburner. It's capitalism that keeps this country racist.
