6. But @BernieSanders revered leaders of the Civil Rights Movement of the South so much, that he never wanted anyone to think he was using his early activism for his personal/political gain.
I have dozens of more stories.
But he kept them all to himself. Even from family.
7. And as I started to ask why - why did @BernieSanders keep so much of his origin story to himself, it was there that I learned it had EVERYTHING to do with the Holocaust and with the early death of his mother and father.
Bernie’s dad escaped the Holocaust. His family didn’t.
8. @BernieSanders was born the year the Holocaust began.
The next year, while Bernie was a baby in Brooklyn, Hitler’s barbarism ravaged Bernie’s entire family -killing aunts, uncles, cousins, children, elders, and more.
But back in Brooklyn, that trauma was endured silently.
9. As Bernie and his brother Larry grew up, all around them, all over their neighborhood, were families with numbers on their arms. Many escaped alone. But it was endured by most, observed by most, in utter silence. Even at home. And Bernie carried this silence through his life.
10. When @BernieSanders gave this line, @_waleedshahid is right, it pained him.
I saw his family crying.
For those who hate Bernie, it was nothing. But for those of us who love & know him, it was a breakthrough. A revelation.https://twitter.com/_waleedshahid/status/1101955693811245056 …
11. Yesterday Bernie spoke of race, racism, & at least 11 connected issues tied to both. I know because I helped review and edit the speech. For those in attendance, and those who don’t have open animosity toward Bernie, it was great. People who loathe him, loathed the speech.
12. I’ll end with this.
@BernieSanders cares DEEPLY about race, racism, discrimination, and the systems that are maintained by white supremacy & bigotry.
I mean he cares deep into the marrow of his bones, his soul. It’s who he is.
If you insist otherwise, that’s on you.
There's a saying about what defines integrity... something to the effect of "doing what's right when no one else is watching". Bernie is a true humanitarian and didn't need accolades or praise for doing what he knew to be morally right. He's the real deal!
If Bernie's dead escaped the Holocaust how was it that Bernie was born in the United States the day the Holocaust started? You're not making sense now you're right you have a lot of stories that are fiction All About Him
Bernie's father came to America before the Holocaust. Do you think it happened overnight? Perhaps Bernie inherited his foresight from his father. You disbelieving any portion of his story and using that to smear him, is just proving @shaunking right.
YOU BETTA SAY IT AGAIN
Bernie is not for Black People...keep trying though
or, because people would notice all the essays he sold to magazines for money - while he was busy mooching and everyone else had F-T jobs. hits like "women get cancer cuz they don't have enough sex" and "women fantasize about being raped by gangs of men"...
