Agreed.
I refuse to think they are ignorant or stupid or assholes or Republican operatives or part of a false flag operation.
I think they're angry and scared and hurt at what's happening to their brothers and sisters and children and friends.
They're trying to affect change. Sanders and O'Mally now have comprehensive plans laid out regarding racial justice. Neither did before these disruptions. And that's all they are is minor disruptions. Yeah, they said some nasty hurtful shit but they've heard it all themselves their entire lives. They're pissed. I get it. People are dying and they're asking to be heard.
We should listen to them. They have life experiences we don't.
