Hillary's BLM encounters weren't great, but how in the sweet Hell anyone could look at her encounters and think it's the same thing as a man hollering "if you want me to leave, I'll go!" or standing there looking pissed/fearful as hell while his supporters screamed for the two (female) protesters who made him look that way to be jailed and tased is just surreal.

But like I mentioned upthread, this is also the same crowd that is BEYOND pissed that black people are paying attention to the racism we're getting from the campaigns TODAY and not still screaming in rage about Clinton's racism during her 2008 campaign. "Why don't you people focus on the racism that **I** want you to focus on??!11" seems to be their rallying cry.
