time to answer this. Yeah, Yeah, I did all that also during the 60's and got my head busted(stitches) during a spiro agnew event, 10,000 dollar a head dinner event. And we were loud, very loud.The "stupid" people, your reference, did everything in advancing the fact that people are tired of begging on their knees for our own lives not to be ended for a traffic violation or broken taillight, and this begging has been/is to our own candidates. SHAMEFUL it's still a necessary action. GOP? Fuck em. We shouldn't even waste any time. So O'Malley had to fly there to get his political speech drowned out by righteously angry people. Sandra Bland could give a damn less that poor O'malley or Sanders couldn't speak, I see his veneer kind of cracked there. Has his 50 years of fighting gotten POC and SOME poor people to have to stop begging on their knees for some crumbs, Dickens comes to mind. He's BEEN in the positions to help racial, not just economic justice for 50 years in a large manner. Sandra Bland-Trayvon Martin have been murdered by an openly racist 'officer of the peace' and private citizens taking the law into their own hands. Has he used his fight, his legislative power(s) gained over 50 years to eradicate poor education/schools in the "inner cities" vs the more privileged neighborhoods? Yeah he's saying, now, vote for me, I'll do this.
My fight, the fight of hundreds of thousands is literally for life and the right to not have it ended by bullets, hanging or while worshiping in the quiet of the church sanctuary. All this self righteous offense being taken at people who are literally fighting for all black lives is meaningless and hypocritical. If more demonstrations like this had happened since Nixon and Atwater's 'Southern Strategy' by all the comfortable, insulated privileged and blind, poor tools of the GOP as well as POC, we would not be watching the funerals of the Sandra Bland-Trayvon Martins of this country. Naw, "Black Lives Matter" doesn't need to "STFU", many others do, though.
Is it any consideration to the progressives and liberals on this board that the very effective push back of the 'Southern Strategy' happened barely 5 years after the POC in this nation were given the legislated right to vote? That strategy culminated in the theft of the 2000 election by RW PNAC racists and their cohorts of all stripes and races, Condi and Woo come to mind, along with that general who has since become aware of how he was used as a lying tool. I still respect his service, but will never forgive his lapse of reason at the U.N.
All this whining about "Black Lives Matter," not mattering is self serving and serving the racists of this nation from both political Party's. The whining is pathetic BULLSHIT designed to derail the train of justice and righteousness barreling down on the 1% and the privileged that are being "kept" by them as a buffer.
