"When your White, you don't know what it's like to live in the ghetto. You don't know what it's like to be poor. You don't know what it's like to be hassled when you walk down the street or get dragged out of a car."

Agreed. His whole point was about institutional racism, not that white people have never suffered being poor. Context people!
I find it humorous that Trump can say things like "Mexico is sending us all their rapists and murderers", and his supporters defend it by saying we are taking it out of context, but when Bernie says something, context goes out the win-dow.

Isn't Bernie a white boy?
Is he saying he doesn't understand the poor?

He is talking about generational poverty among a group who has suffered systematic racism for a couple of hundred years (in this country).
Whites as a whole have not suffered generational poverty, or faced systematic racism throughout the history of this country.
