2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Hillary Handled the Interruption by BLM VERY WELL!!!! [View all]NYCButterfinger
(755 posts)60. It was good, but this is why Middle America
views BLM as terrorists. You don't interrupt a rally. People view BLM as a arm of the Democratic Party, and this will rile up Middle America already. I already hear people at work saying rough things about African Americans, the level of vitriol will increase if things go on. You should have heard what my co workers said today.
