Priorities.

14. What can we do?

Actually I was going to refer you to bravenaks thread, saw you already posted there.

I say, listen to black people, they are asking you to please listen. Some interpret that to mean STFU. Not what was said, yet angry people will see it that way.

I don't speak for them, I listen and I love talking to members here. They are some of the best and brightest souls on DU.

The BLM thing is also getting the same outrage on social networking, and here on DU, every day as new stories are posted. But we can't change it with social networks like twitter and facebook and even DU, because it affects a lot of people, and there are a lot of haters out there (including in politics) and it is going to be a slow change.

BLM is getting outrage, in that you are correct. Not the same as the compassion for the lion. There is so much push back on BLM. How dare they disrupt the white men on stage, how dare they be concerned and believe their lives matter.

BLACK LIVES MATTER!

You say it will be a slow change, I say no. They have waited hundreds of years for change. The time is now and every candidate needs to make this a priority.
