Sanders: We Need To Combat Institutional Racism from Top to Bottom

LEMON: “— about something that has tripped some of the candidates up — out on the campaign trail. Can you hear me? Can’t hear me in the room. OK, here we go again, as I said —“
WILKINS: “— law school. My question for the candidates is, do black lives matter, or do all lives matter?”
COOPER: “The question from Arthur, in Des Moines is —“
LEMON: “There we go —“
COOPER: “Do black lives matter, or do all lives matter? Let’s put that question to Senator Sanders.”
SANDERS: “Black lives matter.” (Cheering) And the reason — the reason those words matter is the African American community knows that on any given day some innocent person like Sandra Bland can get into a car, and then three days later she’s going to end up dead in jail, or their kids are going to get shot. (Applause) We need to combat institutional racism from top to bottom, and we need major, major reforms in a broken criminal justice system — (Applause) — in which we have more people in jail than China. And, I intended to tackle that issue. To make sure that our people have education and jobs rather than jail cells.”
