For some people everything about race, the guy is 79 years old, sitting for hours in the cold. He wore appropriately not to catch a cold if you ask me. He is not a fashion icon by any stretch of the imagination, but who gives a fly you know what. He is a Senator who has fought all his political life for social issues. He is no worse dressed than the guy to his right in that image, he is wearing a jacket over a suit. He has mittens to keep his hands warm wow what a big deal. He is practicing social distancing which is great, I wish more people would do the same. Oh and he is wearing a face mask again I wish more people would do the same.
So if a black man wore similar clothes and practiced safe social distancing should the same teacher bash him for black privilege, I say no.
Jesus christ some people really have no life and look at everything in a negative way.

"SAN FRANCISCO — Within hours of President Joe Biden’s inauguration, the Internet was consumed by images of Sen. Bernie Sanders sitting, stone-faced, bundled against the cold in a parka and colorful mittens. The meme turned into a fundraising bonanza for nonprofits and a symbol of a new administration getting down to business, as a contrast to the carefully curated image cultivated by its predecessor.
Who could possibly find fault with that?
Well, one person at least, a public high school teacher in San Francisco named Ingrid Seyer-Ochi, who wrote an op-ed for the San Francisco Chronicle that appeared on Sunday and quickly went viral. Seyer-Ochi’s objection was to the “privilege, white privilege, male privilege and class privilege” symbolized by Sanders’s choice of a relatively casual Burton snowboarding jacket and repurposed wool mittens.
Seyer-Ochi addressed the topic with her students, who she said were also upset by what they saw as the implicit message being delivered by Sanders’s choice of outerwear.
“What did they see? They saw a white man in a puffy jacket and huge mittens, distant not only in his social distancing, but in his demeanor and attire,” Seyer-Ochi wrote, adding, “What did I see? What did I think my students should see? A wealthy, incredibly well-educated and -privileged white man, showing up for perhaps the most important ritual of the decade, in a puffy jacket and huge mittens.
“I don’t know many poor, or working class, or female, or struggling-to-be-taken-seriously folk who would show up at the inauguration of our 46th president dressed like Bernie.”"
