From the article:

Did two activists from the Black Lives Matter movement really just grab the mic from Bernie Sanders (who marched with MLK), and accuse a crowd of mostly-white progressives (many of whose ancestors never owned slaves) of being disconnected from reality? Or did Hillary Clinton, George Soros, and Sarah Palin team up with Satan to hire a pair of shape-shifting reptile assassins from the eighth dimension to make it look that way, thereby preventing the best ally that Black Lives Matter ever had from getting elected?

If we begin with the premise that we can dismiss, as flatly absurd, the two (alleged) shapeshifting assassins’ face-value message that “white progressives refuse to acknowledge their own racism,” then Occam’s razor leaves us with only one question. Cui bono?

Did the real Black Lives Matter movement apologize for & disavow the interruption, as many white progressives have claimed? There's just no way to know what to believe.

Far from mere speculation, the doubt cast upon the authenticity of the (alleged) reptile shape-shifters was confirmed by a number of curious questions about Black Lives Matter Seattle’s on-line presence; questions that remain unanswered, in equal proportion to the amount that they were never communicated to anybody who could answer them in the first place.

The whole thing is awesome to read, I laughed while giving multiple thumbs up but, I have to say the icing on the cake was this:

"About the author: Jess E. Hadden walked 99 miles next to people from Occupy Wall Street in 2012 to protest economic injustice. As such, by the rules of the Bern Convention of 2015, he has earned the right to mock the myopic whinings of his fellow white ineffective pseudo-socialist liberals — as their best friend! — for at least the next 50 years."

Those who thought they shut her down are badly mistaken, she has taken her talents, skills and passion to a wider audience while still looking after us here.

Thank you Bravenak!

"We may never know the answer to this mystery. It may be that there is no right answer. Ultimately, it all comes down to what you truly believe in your heart. Would a couple of black women really show up and suggest that the progressive left has an unacknowledged streak of white supremacy? Would they really speak out-of-turn, as if to suggest that they have been on the receiving end of both brutal oppression and empty promises — two distinctly different, but equally pernicious, forms of racism — for five centuries, here, in the promised land of the free?

Or is it simpler to conclude that these were just a couple of Satan’s reptile-like shapeshifting alien assassins, fresh from the 8th dimension, sent here by Sarah Palin & Hillary Clinton & George Soros to prevent the best friend that the black community ever had from getting elected?"

I wish Skinner would pin this in GDP and GD. Thank you, bravenak.

I posted it on FB. Some of my white "liberal" friends/relatives have indulged in that nonsense. Not many, gratefully, but a couple have, so I posted it for their benefit.

Where have I seen that trademark before?

Ready For Someone Else.™

Don't diss the entities from the Eightth Dimension. They are here and the entire world is their smorgasbord. You cannot escape them:

Republicans serve The Beast. From the dawn of mankind they are the regressive element that's been holding back and destroying our civilization. They nourish other-dimensional entities that feed on misery, pain, and chaos. Republicans are their minions, and hope to share in these entities' power, or be spared the pain. But The Beast never shares; The Beast never spares.

From a DU2 sigline.
