In reply to the discussion: "How violent the organizers and Bernie Sanders was." BLM activist speaks [View all]The Straight Story

Yep, pretty standard fare at times.
I think just about every Du'er is either misogynistic, racist, homophobic, or conservative on some day of the week according to some other du'ers.
Not a dang one is liberal or progressive enough and everything they say or have done can be thrown out the window in a second if you don't nod your head when told and keep your mouth shut and criticisms to yourself.
Being critical of someone in a movement or how a movement is doing something doesn't mean you hate and don't understand something or someone. You can complain about America and it doesn't mean you aren't 'patriotic' and it doesn't mean you hate the country.
Criticism, it's part of being an adult and growing.
