this into a fight between allies. Who are these 'journalists'? I haven't seen any objection in all the protests across the country where the crowds have been made up of all kinds of people, to ANYONE coming out to support them.

This focus on Berkeley is very suspect. And I'm seeing right wing memes even here, including the absolutely right wing claim that they 'ought to worry about Black on Black crime' in an attempt to denigrate the protesters.

I don't know that pastor. But I do know that Fox and Limbaugh et al have been using the mantra for years whenever there is Police murder of an unarmed African American citizen.

The article in this OP I'm sure will be all over right wing sites along with the 'they ought to worry about Black on Black crime'.
