In my own reaction I can see that. The first time it happened at NN I stated that I understood that this issue had to be kept front and center and not forgotten. I still feel that way. The demonstration in this event did that.
In the second event against the same man with the level of hatred seemingly toward all of us. I felt different. First of all I felt fear for Bernie. And as I have said elsewhere I felt totally shut out. I did not see the goal as keeping the issue front and center but blaming Bernie Sanders. Especially when they demanded that he apologize for all the sins of racism. I thought this event was much more divisive that the first.
And let me tell you it did not help on DU at all that those who did not support Bernie made it all about how bad Bernie was. That turned it into a primary election issue instead of a BLM issue.
I like the idea of harmony on this issue because you are correct there never is total agreement on any issue.
BTW President Obama has a good speech on the issue today. Gives us a direction to work toward.
