[DAILYCALLER] SANDERS: I hope that every person in this room today understands that it is unacceptable to judge people, discriminate against people based on the color of their skin. Yeah. You'd expect to hear some old white guy come up with something like that.
I'm surprised as all get out that the media actually reported something Bernie said, rather than just the size of his rallies. Must be a Clintonista at the DC...
And I will also say, that as a nation — the truth is a nation that in many ways was created, and I’m sorry to have to say this from way back, on racist principles, that’s a fact.
Having started out from the same cultural spot as everybody else means the whole idea's flawed. We'll have to go back and start all over again. Just as soon as we can find some way to change history.
We have come a long way as a nation.
But that doesn't matter.
Now I know, my guess is that probably not everybody here is an admirer or a voter for Barack Obama, but the point is that in 2008, this country took a huge step forward in voting for a candidate based on his ideas and not the color of his skin.
And the country ended up with a guy whose primary defining characteristic--in his own mind, not ours at the beginning--was the color of his own skin.
