He (Mike, I mean) got into a debate with Ta-Nehisi Coates who wrote a critical piece about Sander’s saying that reparations are too divisive an issue to address (but one that Coates feels is critical to address structural racism). Mike advocated for Sanders none-the-less, arguing that the issues that Sanders brings to the table matter to the black community and would go farther than other candidates policy proposals to helping the black community overall. I do think Coates’ support would be helpful too, but I can understand his criticism of Sanders.
