I’m interested in what Lizards of color think if Bernie is just clueless or a racist. I admit I’m more inclined to the former but I’m a white man so I may overlook some things that others see.
It’s not either/or. He’s clueless and has several implicit biases about race, and he’s simply not ready to adjust some long held internal beliefs to accommodate new facts. And in areas where he is not knowledgeable, he’s not willing to concede that he’s can be clumsy; he’s still cocksure that he has the right message and the right way to say it.
