57. Does BLM want political allies?

I still can't understand why Bernie Sanders is the BLM target. Has he been president the last 6 1'2 years? Was he the AG that avoided the social problems these last several years? Is he one of the Republican contenders that could care less?

If you can't see that the political history of Bernie Sanders makes him someone with whom BLM can find common ground, then I'd say the BLM movement is doomed. If its a 'white man's world' in which white men 'can't get it' and most won't try, why go after the one guy who for 50 years has fought the fight - despite not getting it. It amounts to spitting in the face of a lifetime of: peaceful protest, taking unpopular righteous stands, and dilligent work toward change.

If the whole problem is the 'whiteness' of the crowd, Then is the prescription to control the messaging and kiss lots of babies, stand next to black and latino folks a lot on stage, speak in Spanish for the cameras? I guess some like that sort of disingenuous politicking. Maybe take selfies with the likes of Kim & Kanye on the way to a fundraiser?
