How about those photographs at the demonstration where he shackled himself to a black woman in protest of segregation?
You're burying your head in the sand if you don't think Bernie stands for many issues which benefit black people. Prison issues, police brutality, etc. Do you not remember the question at the democratic debate months ago where Bernie (and O'Malley, in a less direct degree) was the only one willing to say 'Black Lives Matter' when asked to pick between 'black lives matter' and 'All lives matter'.

There were exit polls showing that black people are primarily concerned with prison issues and police brutality?
Since a large of the demographic that actually votes is more concerned with the economy and probably don't have much experiences with prisons (since convicts can't vote), I very much doubt that prison issues is playing a major role in this election.
And uh, him picking Black Lives Matter doesn't get him more than a polite nod. It says nothing about his stance.
People don't care that Sanders sat and chained himself to a black lady decades ago. They care about the economy and prosperity and obviously they're very pragmatic which is why they're voting for Clinton. (Name recognition plays a role too of course.)
like does his campaign understand the math?
