There is a link between her and Louis Farakan...

I still haven't been able to watch the entire video. I don't see people going after her but YMMV.

I have watched her in action and read some of her writing and seen some pictures. She's young but I think there is more to it. I think her world view is skewed very rightward from mine. The fact that she's black just brings into focus that like any other group of people you have a spectrum, this isn't news to most people.

I don't support this person, I support BLM but they don't make it easy when they won't address the issues she brought to the table.

Is she a racist, a Jew hater.....why did she do and say what she did? Why did she do it the way she did? These are reasonable questions. I look at things and try to understand, it's the way I am....and I'm not alone.

The hashtag BowDownBernie didn't help anyone or anything...it's hateful and I don't like hateful people. I sure as hell don't make excuses for them and I don't care what color they are.

This isn't about destroying a young woman, or discrediting BLM but many want it to be, but I don't want my white tears to spill over on you. (snark)

Oh, here's a link for you about JusticeOrElse...
