Another Mike Bloomberg sound byte is coming back to haunt the Democratic presidential candidate after a 2011 clip from when he was mayor of New York City has resurfaced in which he said “enormous cohorts” of young black and Latino men “don’t know how to behave in the workplace where they have to work collaboratively and collectively.”

Presciently, The Onion joked that Bloomberg was “tracking poorly among 18- to 25-year-old African Americans,” and ”
hired thousands of canvassers Friday to stop black men on the street and force them to hear his campaign pitch.”
Meanwhile, this isn’t the first time Bloomberg’s past words have come back to haunt him.
Last week, the out-of-touch billionaire apologized to a black megachurch for his controversial “stop-and-frisk” program, saying “I was wrong. And I am sorry.” The program was successful at reducing crime, however opponents felt it violated the Fourth Amendment’s prohibition on unreasonable searches despite a 1968 Supreme Court ruling that it does not.
On Friday, a former Bloomberg employee corroborated an accusation that he told a woman to “kill it” when she announced her pregnancy, according to the Washington Post.
And in a 2016 speech at Oxford University, Bloomberg framed farmers as primitive idiots whose job he could teach just about anybody.
Billionaire Bloomberg claims he "could teach anybody to be a farmer," even implying that farmers don't have the same level of "skillset" or "grey matter" as folks in tech jobs.
So demeaning, elitist, and out-of-touch it's appalling. pic.twitter.com/Auplmdq56m

Maybe this is why ol’ Mike doesn’t want to debate?

As a Latino ,I know how to act at the voting booth! MAGA Trump 2020
Me too, Trump 2020!
Smart move cg; Being a Production Manager for twenty years, some of my better personnel were Latino. It’s not about race, it’s all about mindset and the kind of person you want to be for your family.
Anyone voting for this billionaire idiot needs their head examined by Sigmund Freud This is not the American way in our political system. Mikes Gloomburgs’s way of buying his way into our political system is the beginning of the end of our way of electing our parties opponents which means if you have billions of dollars you can buy our country this is the worst thing that can happen to our political system. We as American voters can’t let this happen to our country. Mike Gloomburg’s past videos are coming back to haunt him. He said a lot of derogatory things about different professions and occupations. He also made derogatory remarks about people of color and senior citizens let the die. He also told pregnant workers in his employ kill it. Who would want this moron as their president. TAKE THE VOTERS PLEDGE NOW AND VOTE FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP AND PENCE.
Sad for the demonrats. Warren, Buttigieg, Klobuchar, Biden and all the rest are failing in the poles. American Oligarch Bloomberg is all that’s left, due in part to his money, but in large part due to their greed.
EVERYTHING they HATE about Trump, is wrapped up in Bloomberg in a neat little package!
The demonrat party is trying to eliminate Bernie; because even though he’s a screaming liberal, and a Socialist, he’ll disrupt their apple cart as bad or worse than Trump did. Bernie wants to get rid of too many of their money-making opportunities. He loves big government, but doesn’t think government employees (bureaucrats) should earn any more than anyone else. The bureaucrats run everything, and control the DNC.
Bloomberg is such an arrogant, self-aggrandizing, insecure and diminutive, elitist, bigoted, racist, misogynist, xenophobic, and homophobic snob; who thinks because he has money to burn, he should be ruler. He’s the smartest man in the room.
Did I include it all? Sound familiar? That’s what the libertards have been calling Trump for 3 years.
If Trump is evil because of all these things, what is Bloomie?
Bloomie’s spread his wealth around several states buying up DA’s in whatever county he can squeeze into; trying to control guns, and alter jurisdictional law — so criminals can walk free to continue their crime sprees.
Wonder how many dummy-crats will vote for him when Bernie is canned? Will Bernie and Bloomie show up on the same ticket? Will Bloomie falter at the debates? (He’s not that fast on his feet [wit]).
I wonder if then Trump might be the “lesser-of-two-evils” in 2020?
This is going to be such an interesting year!
