Sorry if that kills the narrative of all white crowd.

1. No need to be sorry--they'll just keep saying it anyway.

Seems like they're having to cycle through the slanders faster and faster lately.

2. LA is large and diverse. I lived there forty years and I didn't have to travel the

world to meet people of different cultures and ethnicities. All I had to do was go shopping.

3. It says here that Bernie allowed Black Lives Matter to open his rally.

Sanders, who has been interrupted on several occasions in other cities by Black Lives Matter demonstrators, allowed the group to open his rally in Los Angeles.

Thanks for the thread, cali.

7. Nothing like trying to tie Sanders to BLM after a radical interview comes out.

Of course they are desperate to discredit the man and his message.

No name of the supposed BLM representative is listed in the article.

4. I was there -- the false narrative of "division" being pushed by some was laughable

....given how large, enthusiastic, and diverse that crowd actually was....

5. thanks, villager

6. This article mistakenly reports that BLM opened Bernie's rally.

It was his press secretary.

8. I'm sure they'll correct it. in any case that has nothing to do with the diversity of the crowd

[Skwmom]

12. But it has everything to do with reporting something that never happened.

Give the BLM another grievance and tie Bernie to what is turning out to be a pretty radical group.
