"I had a Sarah Palin button on backpack" Who is BLMS's Marissa "Johnson" Jenae?

91. She sees Palin as feminist ???????????????????????????????????

She sounds like my fundie neighbors inventing their own history of protestant faith and American History to suit their egos. This person seems to have much in common with James O’Keefe and other children from the Carl Rove school for attack dog media.

I have observed a similar distopian attitude among some IT professionals where it is the fashion to passionately denigrate anyone they imagine represents status-quo values or institutions. They often cite ludicrous and occasionally non-existent sources to support their views. They frequently allude to conspiracies and institutional hierarchy with arguments both contradictory and unsupported by the most basic reading of facts. They fall somewhere between libertarian and anarchist in their public remarks. However their real world life choices more often reflect the privileged arch-conservative class they pretend to be above.

They seem to feel most empowered when they can attack public figures with impunity. I have yet to see one of them commit to or carry out a constructive act or cooperative project which practically addressed any of the wrongs they so energetically assign to others.

Yes, the Democratic Party should be working very hard to persuade Black voters that there is indeed something to vote FOR. I feel the same way about the party. I have yet to see that the party leadership has much if anything to offer. They have certainly treated NC democrats of with callous disrespect, frequently taking our votes for granted in the national while ignoring our local races with either funding or organizing help. The DLC and now DNC are 0-3 on this score. They appear to have assumed that we are South Carolina and refuse to hear the difference unless we promise unqualified support for Banking and MIC interests in the state.

As far as the BLM movement is concerned: Yes they have a point about the priority placed on issues of direct and institutional racism. They need to learn that the way forward is to bring something constructive to the table. Attacking those with a genuine history of aiding your cause will not persuade them to agree with you, nor will it generate the results you desire in government. You want things to change? Get the voters organized and you will have effect.

Bitch and whine loudly, and it has to be said somewhat inaccurately, in front of the cameras and you will engender doubts and disdain on the part of those you most need to hear your message. Bullies are not generally believed on matters of moral truth nor trusted to evaluate justice fairly.
