They were supposed to show up at a Hillary event but "they got there too late" Yeah right.
They had my support after Ferguson.
They may get it again if they have the balls to pull this shit at a Donald event but they won't.
In the mean time, they are reinforcing a lot of stereotypes.
I may get banned for these comments but, frankly, I don't give a shit.

Edited to add; and no, flamebait trolls, I won't rise to the bait, I will just put you on ignore.

Please rethink the line about the stereotypes, that just isn't polite or accurate. Even I would vote to hide this quite frankly.


Also you may not give a shit now, but Primary season is exciting, and if god willing Bernie is nominated you might want to be here to celebrate.

The Bad Politics of the Black Lives Matter Protesters Who Interrupted Bernie Sanders
Racist Structures Must Change. To Create That Change, We Must Have Smarter Strategies and Tactics.

Before I criticize the August 8 disruption of the Social Security and Medicare rally in Westlake Park by Black Lives Matter activists Marissa Johnson and Mara Willaford, I want to make a few things clear. One, I support the Black Lives Matter movement, which is decentralized and more like a cloud of urgent conversations and interactions than a conventional political organization. BLM might be seen as a necessary adaptation to the ether-like age of social networks. And in this respect, it is not exceptional. Other such clouds formed in Iran in 2009 and Egypt in 2011. Only racists believe BLM is wrong to insist that black Americans are disproportionately harassed, arrested, jailed, and killed by law-enforcement officers. These claims are supported by hard data, numerous studies, and the experiences of thousands of black Americans. I also share the opinion with Seattle's BLM members that, though our city is progressive (gay mayor, socialist council member, and so on), it maintains an economic and social structure that benefits mostly whites and often blocks opportunities for blacks and reinforces black poverty.

I want to also point out something that has been in the back of my mind since I saw the YouTube video of the

I know ,some people thought it was all about Bernie- others thought the day belonged BLM.

It takes strength to let the weak minded say their thing and not lash out.

Bernie is an adult not another narcissistic baby like Trump.

Is Trump the living embodiment of Eric Cartman, or as somebody said on another thread, Archie Bunker?
