My sympathies, I don't know how you take it.... [View all]
We white folks need to shut up and listen to black and brown folks, period. That includes at events like NRN. If that had occurred, both Bernie and O'Malley would have come out smelling like roses. Yes, I give O'Malley credit for his apology and then listening. I think Bernie is a good man, but, he and his staff need to do a lot of listening, especially to the BLM people.
I'm a member of a minority group (I think) here on DU, a southerner. I get annoyed at south-bashing, but hey, my annoyance is absolutely NOTHING compared to what the black community has to endure.
White folks...let's be quiet and listen...for a long time. Then speak, after being educated. Thank you, fellow white folks!
eta: To be clear, I think Governor O'Malley is a good man also. I would be happy with either of them as President.
