"How violent the organizers and Bernie Sanders was." BLM activist speaks

79. Some of your remarks distort what Marissa said

For instance, Marissa makes it clear she outgrew the Tea Party, the Palin thing was in high school, and her political beliefs, in the Seattle environment, turned to the Left.

I think she meant the "white moderate who is complicit with white supremacy."

She's honest and upfront about her Christian beliefs.

Unrespectability: that one is important to hear in regard to anyone who is expecting BLM to "behave". There is a line of thinking that "respectable behavior" is acting on white terms: it's selfish and it gets nothing done for African Americans in general. Marissa tries to defy this stereotype.

You leave out important information like the fact her mother is white, and she had white supporters with her at the event. She has a particular definition of white supremacists.

I thought it was interesting how she turned around the usual "I don't hate black people" to "Do you love black people?" Good question!
