23. You obviously don't know me

I didn't come to this group to trash you. I came because of the "beautiful" OP (I don't know where threads originate...I see them on the DU home page)...and the first thing I did was K&R it.

Then I saw your Bernie taunt and it made me wonder (since it was at the very beginning of the thread) why you even posted it.

Can you not see how (cannot you even try to feel how) that felt to a Bernie supporter who also supports BLM, (which btw is almost all of us)? You offended another poster who is also a Bernie supporter, and even when she said please don't box us all together you said "sadly Hillary supporters are being put in a box, please stop it." You accused her of putting you in a box, when in fact that is exactly what you were doing to her, and to me.

Can you not see how your disrespect for other DUer's would throw off the whole point of this OP? How you are not engaging people for BLM, but antagonizing them?

Do you even care about reaching out with that olive branch to heal this divide, or are you only concerned with people you "think" are BLM supporters? We are not your enemy Sheshe, no matter how much you might think we are.

So here is what I will do. I'm reaching out an olive branch here and saying, can't we please join sides and work together for the black lives movement? Please? They need all of us.
