The rapper said the Vermont senator is the only candidate whose social policy lines up with Martin Luther King Jr.’s focus on the poor and minorities. He spoke about accompanying the candidate to the Busy Bee Cafe, a restaurant often visited by civil rights leaders.
Sanders spoke to a crowd of about 4,800, including students from four historically black colleges and universities clustered on the city’s southwest side. He called for changes in policing and criminal justice, including more diverse police departments, the elimination of mandatory minimum sentences for drug offenses, and accountability for police officers who use deadly force.
Sanders said, “We are going to end the horrors of seeing time and time again, on TV, an unarmed African-American shot by an officer.”

Except it isn’t any innocent people discriminated against this time, and we have a judicial system in place that isn’t prejudicial. Now what’s left is to give all good-for-nothing’s, drug addicts, and lazy all the money if the hard working.
