I stand with Bravenak

197. some of the blm tactics have seemed a little bit tonedeaf

but then so do the white ex suburban kids telling them off.
I spoke to someone briefly who was actually there and she said that it wasn't as bad as the mainstream press made it out to be, which sounds about right.
I assume that his fanbois and girls were annoyed because they have some stake in his success and didn't want blm ruining his image.
not that that excuses threatening letters, wtf.
all this twitter drama has become really stupid tho. some of the people I used to follow now spend all their time addressing trolls. tweeted to one of them asking her to stop responding to racist bigots and got 20 angry messages from supporters asking me if I liked dead black people, etc. there's no reasoning with that. afterwards her troll posse started tagging me in posts insulting her I guess figuring I'd be a willing ally for team Bigot.... holy crap what a shitstorm
the thing is I think blm has the public on their side. bernie got a standing ovation when he decried cop violence at a rally in my white new england state. why do they feel they have to rush a stage? surely there are smarter tactics which don't also lead to critical pieces in the washington post.
