'The Breakfast Club' co-host Charlamagne Tha God on Monday told Sanders that '44 out of 45' American presidents have been white men and asked whether we needed another one.
Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders on Monday was asked by a radio host from The Breakfast Club whether America needed another white man, like himself, to be president.
“Well, I think you need this one," Sanders replied."Look, we are living in an unprecedented time. We have the most dangerous president in the modern history of this country, somebody who is a pathological liar, a fraud, a racist, a sexist, a homophobe.” Later in the segment, the host pressed Sanders on whether he supported reparations. “What do we mean by reparations?” Sanders asked. “To my mind, it means we have to deal with the fact that there is enormous disparity between the black community and the white community. And that issue has got to be addressed.”
“What does that mean, economic empowerment?” Sanders continued. “I would do my best to change the banking system so that we pay attention to distressed communities that people get the loans that they need, to make the investments they need.”“No,” Sanders said. “You mean just a check to every African-American? Well then, there’s a check to every Native American ... I think the way we go forward is we build America. There are distressed communities—white communities—distressed Latino communities.
