initiative, that was anything but progressive and had negative effects on the African American community?

Both O'Malley and Sanders had seen how Hillary was previously criticized by BLM people and others for saying "all lives matter." So I was astounded that at Netroots O'Malley one-upped Hillary by saying "white lives matter" and even Sanders didn't make the most of his opportunity to connect with that audience. Instead, he threatened to leave.

It isn't fair to blame Hillary for the way these two flubbed their opportunity to make themselves look less tone-deaf than she had been.
