(24,544 posts)I remember all of this and yet, the DU Council of Elders (aka GD-P and the supporters of a certain candidate) has conveniently overlooked or dismissed that she's already been hit by #BLM as they scurry to proclaim her the "chosen" candidate of #BLM or allude that they are all working in cahoots with one another.
Particularly in light of the fact that many of us saw some pure, unadulterated vitriol and outright hate leveled at the current sitting Democratic President, with no mercy shown, and doubling/tripling down continual.
I've seen a few posters here playing the "gotcha!" game with a couple of supporters of #BLM using posts of theirs from 2,3 even 7 years ago to prove that some people who had a problem with protests before don't have one when it comes to #BLM. But these same folks seem to not realize those tables could very well easily be turned, with the amount of heavy breathing that OWS caused a certain contingent here who were ever so strangely enough the FIRST to turn on #BLM.
If only we were bored with too much time on our hands, we could probably rustle up a slew of pre-#BLM posts from people who think that protesting is the work of the noble and enlightened -- unless its black people doing it to their candidate of choice.
