In reply to the discussion: Heckler/disruptor Patrisse Cullors appoints herself the spokesperson of black people [View all]moniss
(4,274 posts)Enough of this crap about who she is or isn't. The fact of the matter is they have admitted that their purpose was not dialogue but disruption. So they succeeded. I have little doubt that like so many of her age group she has little to no knowledge about those she is accusing. It seems sad to me that they certainly aren't at the Republican events doing this but they saw an opportunity to confront what they see as old white faces and make their media splash. Well bravo because as I and many others have found the "youngsters" coming along now in a Johnnie Come Lately fashion to civil rights struggles have little to no knowledge about the things that a lot of white people did and died for in the 50's and 60's. Hell many of them I have spoken to don't know squat beyond MLK. I see here on their website all kinds of generalized demands. Do the hard work to actually come up with policy actions and specifics and then let's talk. Until then all you are accomplishing is bad-mouthing those trying to help you have better lives.
