CNN’s Sanders: Make America Great Again ‘Takes Us Back’ To Slavery and ‘Internment Camps for the Chinese’

On Friday’s broadcast of “CNN Newsroom,” Symone Sanders argued that Make America Great Again “takes us back to a time when we were in slavery, when we were in chains, when we worked on plantations, internment camps for the Chinese.” Sanders corrected the Chinese internment statement on Twitter, saying she misspoke and meant to refer to Japanese internment.

Sanders said, “I do not think that every single Trump supporter is racist. But it is — we have to be real and understand that the populism around Donald Trump’s campaign was intrinsically tied to racism. it was intrinsically tied to making people that were not white working-class people the other. Make America Great Again takes us back — people that look like me, takes us back to a time when we were in slavery, when we were in chains, when we worked on plantations, internment camps for the Chinese. So, it is really, really important that if we want to heal, that if people want to get past, if Trump supporters want to say, well, why are you calling me racist? That we have to understand that the populism was tied to elements of racism. And the last thing I would say is that racism is — a racist is — I think people think racism is dogs and white hoods and water hoses and the n-word, and that is not the only form of racism. There are microaggressions. There are oh, I didn’t — you speak so well. These are microaggressions that are forms of prejudice and discrimination that we have to address.”

Sanders added that just because a county voted for Obama, and then voted for Trump, “doesn’t mean that they don’t have elements of predjudice, of discrimination, of racism. That is the equivalent of saying I have a black friend.”

I don't have cable so I can't/won't watch CNN. But under what rock do they find these "intellectual" commentators like Sanders? She sounds clueless.

Slavery, Dems in the South supported it.
Interment camps, they for Japanese not Chinese and that was under a Dem administration.

The shrill needs to read up on history that was not taught to her while in High-school, because of a Dem supporting Education union.

IS there a pattern here????

(Sarcasm off)

Then she said, Sanders added that just because a county voted for Obama, and then voted for Trump, “doesn’t mean that they don’t have elements of predjudice, of discrimination, of racism. That is the equivalent of saying I have a black friend.

Well I have black friends, and they voted for Trump, because they saw through the completely false message of the 0.

If people voted for the 0 the first time to prove they weren't racist,
then the 2nd time did they vote for him to prove how stupid they were?

To my knowledge, neither Trump nor his surrogates have said when it was that America stopped being great.

Anyone else heard any of them specify?

I don't think they need to. If you have the time you can go view those vids where Obama was bowing to all those Muslims.

I take it Sanders is black. Not African-American - Black. I'm as African-American as any black and lily white. OK, not lily white but Anglo-Saxon tan. Slavery didn't start here in America. It started in Africa with blacks selling blacks to white traders who brought them here and found willing buyers by southern democratic plantation owners as well as to around 5,000 free blacks in the South. (You didn't know that about black slave holders, did you?) Lots in our history has been ignored or covered up.

It's not like the liberal's rejection of Christ and adherence to globalism won't take us to a time when we will be in slavery, when we will be in chains, when we will work on plantations and internment camps run by the Chinese.
