77. I'm with brave

Jul 2015

Dig deep - its kind of prejudiced against white folks. Not anything I want anything to do with. So it's not posted by AFAms here because those of us who post frequently - aren't bigots against white folks. Not acceptable to post from BAR in the AfAm group. Brave and I are both hosts there - and I would be inclined to lock an op that started with it.

GD though - I think is much more fluid.

Oh, please! The BAR? bravenak Jul 2015 #1

Today was the first I've heard of BAR. I found this author's insider view on the NRN fiasco RiverLover Jul 2015 #114
So you have no response to explaining the difference ... 1StrongBlackMan Jul 2015 #131
How about the fact that what #BLM did was LOVED by conservatives, when they ambushed Leftwing RiverLover Jul 2015 #138

It should be easy; how long can it take? nt Zorra Jul 2015 #36
What is it that you don't understand, Zorra?... SidDithers Jul 2015 #39
That's deceitful, Sid. I did not call the actions of BLM protestors that. Zorra Jul 2015 #62
The fact that you used the term at all...at any anyone....is offensive. msanthrope Jul 2015 #91

Zorra did NOT say that, btw, I never saw you participate in anything sabrina 1 Jul 2015 #68
Didn't say what? Certainly you are not denying the "race-nagging" comment! n/t 1StrongBlackMan Jul 2015 #197

I didn't post anything from them. You are confusing me with someone else. arcane1 Jul 2015 #210
Oh my bad ... 1StrongBlackMan Jul 2015 #211
Likely not even then. It appeared to offer a different perspective, but didn't support it w/anything arcane1 Jul 2015 #212
Okay ... 1StrongBlackMan Jul 2015 #213

BLM is an incredible movement. What surprises me is how little attention sabrina 1 Jul 2015 #52
I agree and am disgusted by so many here trying to discredit them for making noise. bettyellen Jul 2015 #60

I think it will end up being a gift to Sanders considering he's moving into some very diverse areas bettyellen Jul 2015 #102
You mean like this, said by Bernie the DAY BEFORE he was ambushed by #BLM at NRN? RiverLover Jul 2015 #116
Who said they want a world where" young black men walk down the street bettyellen Jul 2015 #121
Bernie said that he didn't want that, and then was PROTESTED by the people he was defending. RiverLover Jul 2015 #122
They were protesting every candidate that showed up- including O Malley bettyellen Jul 2015 #124
Geesh, I know, I was responding to YOU saying the maybe because of NRN, Bernie would better address RiverLover Jul 2015 #126
Yet Bernie still did his dumbass pivot to economics when confronted by BLM.... bettyellen Jul 2015 #139

Yes indeed. LiberalAndProud Jul 2015 #57
Well its good to know there's no explanation for your putdown. RiverLover Jul 2015 #61

You assume. And you know what that does. LiberalAndProud Jul 2015 #76
