2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Holy, are there people here seriously defending BLM Seattle's actions!?? What's wrong with you? [View all]dreamnightwind
(4,775 posts)33. Thanks, good info
I remember how the meme showed up here early, from pro-corporatist posters. I'd be interested in seeing the posts you consider the first of it, if you have links I'd be grateful, either post them here or PM me.
I dunno if I'm ready to call the Seattle events RW. I heard about the girl's Palin sticker, etc., seemed to me she was just very young and her ideology had little history to it, so she was all over the place. Regardless, the Bernie and his supporters = racist meme is clearly being promoted to benefit the Clintons, ironically enough given her history.
Thanks for calling it out and demanding that it stop.

When that movement apparently wants to wait at least 16 months to do anything about it.

We were all already supporting that movement. Bernie was already supporting it.
