7. This Kind Of Chicanery Will Damage Black Lives Matter.
Sun Aug 9, 2015, 12:34 AM
Aug 2015

The protest was so misguided. And these protesters will alienate the very constituency who really supports civil rights. They certainly would not get my support if they keep attacking Democrats over civil rights. Democrats passed the legislation and the GOP has been all about gutting civil rights. I am sure that the GOP will be happy to help these protesters.

And I still think something is fishy about this particular protest. And it did not accomplish anything positive. Bernie deserves better.
