Great stuff. I love how real Bernie is and his anecdotes. Not to mention he cusses! Killer Mike seems to be pretty cool as well. Wasn't expecting that.

Is this different from the time they eat BBQ together?

lol@Bernie trying to get "street cred". He'd be better off getting a real education, maybe he'd stop saying stupid shit.

Larry David doing Bernie is better than the real thing.

He's not trying to get street cred you dolt. He reiterated the same stuff he's been preaching.

Yeah, in a different setting/with a token black guy. Just like all these other politicians do, just not necessarily with a rapper(s).

If you think Killer Mike is going to get him mainstream credentials then I guess you're out of the loop

Street cred =/= mainstream cred

Token black guy? He was in a black barbershop in Atlanta bruh. He was invited there btw, it wasn't planned by him.

lol no, that wasn't the point.

Dak is suggesting that this is Bernie trying to get the black vote, so yes, it is "mainstream"

Because the black vote makes up such a large portion of the voting populace? Give me whatever you're smoking man.

It's "street cred" because it's not Jay Z et al, which is going to translate into "mainstream" cred with the urban youth vote at a minimum.

I predict that it won't change shit in the black voting habit.

I'm inclined to agree.

You do realize that the democratic primary vote is going to be decided by women and other minorities right? If i'm not mistaken, blacks vote at higher rates than whites

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

No, you're definitely mistaken .... but the rest of your post is on point.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Blacks vote Democrat at a higher rate, but whites still vote overall at a higher rate afaik.

 

[rms]

A new Census Bureau report shows a higher percentage of African-Americans than whites voted in a presidential election for the first time in history last year during the matchup between President Obama and GOP nominee Mitt Romney.

If this can be believed. Marginal at only 2% though (66% vs 64%)

[HamburgerBoy]

About 10%.
