Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I've seen some stuff posted that's over the top. This isn't even close. It's a discussion board, have discussion!
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Venting is to be expected in these times. Not hideworthy.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This post is tame compared to others I've seen. And the reply chain seems to be robust, and not particularly venomous, so leave it.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I don't see the problem here.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE

That a poster, well known to this group as a person that doesn't give a sh!t about issues of concern to Black people, or Black people, in general, except as they intersect with Bernie, suspect that HRC is merely pandering with respect to BLM?

Or, that a poster, well known to this group as a person that doesn't give a sh!t about issues of concern to Black people, or Black people, in general, except as they intersect with Bernie, would project his Bernie-excuse making (see: the poster's comments in response to Bernie's lack of traction among the Black electorate) on HRC supporters?

Neither is new, or unexpected.

(To be clear I am not talking about the original poster.)

That same person in early August recommended threads that asserted:

- BLM is a secret plot between HRC and George Soros to swiftboat Bernie
- BLM is a cabal of power-mad Black Lesbians whose aim is to destroy progressives so they can maintain the status-quo.
- BLM wants to wage war on white liberals

That poster needs to look in the mirror before accusing anyone of hypocrisy.

And unfortunately that is not the only person in the thread that demonized BLM a few months ago who now accuse others of hypocrisy.

I know you are a new member and lots of this history was before you joined. (BTW, Welcome to DU! )

But I remember all those threads smearing BLM.

Many people in that thread praise BLM today are the same ones who participated in smearing BLM not too long ago.
