This is NOT Bernie's revolution! It's a gross suggestion. [View all]

I see a lot of Bernie supporters posting about the riots and giving credit to Bernie. People are trying to say the anger is about student loan debt or Med 4 all. This is an insult and a big reason why Bernie lost the black community in massive numbers. This is about RACISM and POLICE BRUTALITY. There is a faction of the left that refuses to HEAR the black community and instead, they want to add there own reasons. Take a look at what some are saying here:

I've never so thirsted for a revolution before –
There is a shift happening I can really feel it. The protest in Portland was charged up by young people who were really angry, I have seen more and more of this in the last year. The failure of bernie has seemingly added to that as well. People let him go when he told them to go to biden, they turned their backs and walked away. I am trying to figure ouT how I want to fit into this new paradigm But i am excited. I have been pretty down in the last 9 months watching the enviro and social justice groups wallow in politics people who call themselves anti war who post loving stuff about obama. I am letting them go.


I wish we could focus all these people into taking out the billionaires in the country destroying only their holdings their houses, their boats and planes. They have slaughtered so many people around the world it is time to deal with them.
