White fragility (lot of this around here recently!):

125. There's a difference between expressing an opinion in an existing thread, of which there were few,

and observing--as I have done today--the way DU has BLOWN UP over this little protest at a relatively small rally where Sanders was one of several speakers.

I think Code Pink and Occupy can do what they want--is that plain enough for you, because you seem to be unclear on my POV.

If my double standard (and it's not that--because as I've explained, these are very different reactions to protests--Code Pink/Occupy were met with small discussions; this little rally getting disrupted took all the air out of the room and has generated dozens of angry, posturing threads) were really laughable, you wouldn't be giving me such vigorous and irritated pushback about it.

It's so laughable that politicians vying for the DNC nom are suddenly talking about issues of concern to black citizens. Ha ha! Laughable, indeed!

I'd say those ladies, with their impolite and aggressive tactics, hit the mark.
