In reply to the discussion: "I had a Sarah Palin button on backpack" Who is BLMS's Marissa "Johnson" Jenae? [View all]still_one
(98,883 posts)about it. There is something bizarre about this whole affair that doesn't make sense.
There are a lot of unanswered questions.
1. Does the national BLM organization confirm her participation in the organization, and do they subscribe to the philosophy she subscribes on her social media pages.
2. Confirm from her directly that this is her face book/twitter comments. If it is then how can she support Palin, and at the same time profess that Black Lives Matter. At the same time she also seems to subscribes to the views of Malcom X, which seem at best contradictory putting Palin and Malcom X in the same frame of admiration.
3. Is this part of a dirty trick scheme? If it is, it sure is not done in a very clever way, especially with her seemingly contradictory remarks on her social media pages.
In other words, this story should not just end with the MSM reporting that she is from the Seattle division of BLM, and that is all there is to know. It isn't. There are a lot of unknown question.
While I am not holding my breath that the MSM will pursue actual investigative journalism, I do think there are enough progressive reporters that should be able to fill in the blanks.
