1. :sad:

[JustAnotherGen]

3. But it makes the point well

[elleng]

6. Yes it does.

[JustAnotherGen]

2. Wow - that nails it

The - does BLM have the 'right' argument . . . is now over.

[1StrongBlackMan]

5. Well I read the other day ...

of a Black blogger yelling they "have no standing" to make the argument, right or otherwise. I couldn't get through it all, but got the sense it was because Bernie marched with Martin.

[JustAnotherGen]

9. That's shameful

MLK and Malcolm never asked permission.

[NuclearDem]

4. Yeah, that's pretty much it...

[Tarheel_Dem]

7. Sums up the current situation perfectly!

[Spazito]

8. Yep, nails it. n/t

[Downwinder]

10. Pretty much a description of the agenda process.

[brer cat]

11. Definitely appropriate. K&R nt

[Snotcicles]

12. Wow congratulations dailykos, you have devolved to DU levels. nt

[JustAnotherGen]

13. How so?

[1StrongBlackMan]

14. The piece didn't mention doesn't condemn BLM ...

and it doesn't mention Bernie?

[JustAnotherGen]

15. Help me out here - I'm new . . .

Who is this Sanders person and why should he have been mentioned in a piece about trying to contact the mayors office?

[1StrongBlackMan]

17. You must be one of those low information Black folks ...

in time you will know and knowing you will be blessed.

[JustAnotherGen]

19. I'm going to go ask

[1StrongBlackMan]

27. What would he know? Better to ask DU.

[Number23]

32. Negrodamus!!

I salute you sir!

[freshwest]

33. Ah-haha! Negrodamus looks into the Magic 8-ball and sees: Ed Murray.

City to sell parcel to affordable housing developer 8-11-2015

Yeah, I've seen that scam before. Tiny number of low-income units, waiting list for a few years.

Mayor: Look, we have a plan! Wait! You can't pay full market rate? What did you say? Hold on, you're breaking up. Oh, we must have a bad connection!

Please call us again at YUR-FCKD at OUR convenience. Thank you and have a nice life.

[Quayblue]

35. !!!!

[retrowire]

16. no, protestors don't have to play by the rules

but they don't have to demean themselves by insulting large groups of people based on their race when it's racism that they're standing against to begin with right?

that's all I'm saying. be disruptive! challenge authority! but.. don't call out a race of people because you're angry about racism against you. 2 wrongs doesn't make a right does it?

[JustAnotherGen]

18. I'm a group host back here

What are you writing about?

It's an email to The Mayor of a town/city in America. What does the race of the mayor have to do with it?

[Starry Messenger]

20. A) She was calling out the white supremacist attitudes from white people screaming horrible things

at them. If you listen to the first part of her radio interview, you will get a sense of the hostility of the crowd. Someone even threw a water bottle at her.

B) Calling out the white power structure isn't racist. It's factual. There will be more of this (I hope.) Best to get used to it.

C) Marissa said also in her interview that if a person's reaction to their action wasn't their own feelings, then she wasn't talking about them. If your feelings about being called out for being white are all you are getting out of this, then you aren't really listening.

[1StrongBlackMan]

21. Some work so hard at being the victim ...

"I really don't like chicken."

"Why don't you like me."

"I was talking about chicken."

"But I'very eaten chicken, so you're implying ..."

[Starry Messenger]

22. Cluck-cluck!

Today I've seen these women called subhuman, nazis, fascists, crazy, and all manner of interestingly loaded terms. But don't say "white people!" Or it's meltdown city and feathers get everywhere.

[freshwest]

34. Slaughtering people is worse than a loud demonstration. Beware it becoming more. n/t

[retrowire]

24. unlike others

I'm genuine in my effort to seek understanding. I'm glad I asked my question. I got a good answer. it's still painting with a broad brush to insult that crowd and it would've helped if they had clarified then, rather than me getting clarification from people in an online forum.

[1StrongBlackMan]

25. Sorry ... I was not referring to you ...

You just got caught in the crossfire.

[retrowire]

23. this explanation helps

didn't know someone threw water at them geez.

[1StrongBlackMan]

26. And try listening to the commentary among the boos.

[Starry Messenger]

28. Happy to help.

If you have a chance to listen to the radio interview, they play the crowd noises in the lead up to the women speaking on stage, from the time they went up there.

&feature=youtu.be

It gave me anxiety and I wasn't even there, and I'm white.

[Bobbie Jo]

31. I listened again

The crowd was booing her as she was trying to speak, even as she was in tears talking about Micheal Brown.

Very, very ugly. I had to listen to it several times to pick up on vibe in that room.

30. She has a beautiful page with her beautiful self and a kick ass twitter account, too. Gotta join the

horde to keep in touch. So far behind all this tech. Time to set the carrier pigeon free.

[ismnotwasm]
