Bernie Sanders recorded folk album in 1987 ‘we shall overcome’

Was Comrade Bernie Sanders mocking blacks or something back in 1987? He actually recorded a folk album thirty two years ago called “We shall overcome”. Or did Comrade Sanders think that his civil rights were being taken away from him in this ‘evil, capitalist’ country? “We Shall Overcome” is a gospel song which became a protest song and a key anthem of the Civil Rights Movement, yet Sanders seemed to think it applied to him. This scumbag is a real snake.

In 1987, Sanders recorded a politically focused folk album through Todd R. Lockwood Works called “We Shall Overcome.”

During his 2016 campaign, the album got some attention — though not always positive, The Guardian reported.

However, he did make some royalties on the resurfaced music. In his 2016 financial disclosure documents, Sanders reported receiving $2,520.60, but in 2017 he only received $539.47.
