(1,250 posts)DAMN!!! How timely was this post of mine!
This is EXACTLY what I'm talking about!!!
EXACTLY!!!! DAMN!!!!
We keep falling for the okey-doke & we got our own people doing the okey!
THAT'S why I'm angry about South Carolina.
John Lewis, James Clyburn, & others is how Hillary got that outcome on Saturday.
When I saw a post in the Hillary Clinton forum with all the mothers of Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, Sandra Bland, Jordan Davis, Dontre Hamilton endorsing Hillary, I had to counter that.
And I put up Eric Garner's daughter Erica Garner & her personal endorsement of Bernie Sanders.
I said that all of these mothers will be supporting Bernie soon just like Erica is.

That post got me banned from the Hillary Clinton forum but oh well.
I would NOT sit by & let Hillary dupe everybody with her phoniness.
Those mothers are hurting & I don't blame them for not seeing through Hillary.
They're just doing what they think is best in the midst of their grief.
But Erica's anger is especially strong & she will not be played by this chameleon.
Eric Garner's mother can't see what Eric Garner's daughter sees.
I believe that Eric Garner's mother gets her info from the TV media & established newspaper media.
Erica Garner knows that you're not gonna get the real story from those sources & is using this internet to find the truth.
And that's why she offered her endorsement.
She knows her grandmother is WRONG even if her grandmother is well-meaning.
She's not taking another Rahm Emanuel.
She wants to see a REAL difference.
And credit to Jesse Jackson, one of the elders who broke ranks.
But why should he have to break ranks in the first place?
THAT'S why I made this post.
