which you do in the name of so-called "journalism". LMAO.

You were the one who showed up here with some supposed 'gotcha' points to harass the OP, but you just couched it in what YOU wanted to talk about. So quit playing RACIST GAMES yourself. Who are you to judge who is more important in BLM -- hint: not you. Who gives a crap who you consider important to the movement. How out of touch to even suggest that.

Garza was talking about the nastiness of Sander's supporters, so tough luck if you don't want to hear it. It's real, and it's not a "game."

"Moderates" of any kind tend to be quite ineffectual, honestly. nomorenomore08 Aug 2015 #30

Who has accomplished more? Barack Obama or Al Sharpton? (nt) Nye Bevan Aug 2015 #33

Sharpton has never been elected to high office, so that's a questionable comparison. nomorenomore08 Aug 2015 #57
