the #Black Lives Matter brouhaha here has shown me whose lives matter to many liberals and progressives that have been here and those who are new. I would never impugn Sen. Sanders works in favor of equality of races in amerikkka. Yet, that work hasn't changed amerikkka one iota from Emmett Till to Sandra Bland.
Get angry, stay angry at people demonstrating, ambush is really the only way to either make these candidates address a very important issue in a real time way or show that only 'all lives matter'. They had to think on their feet and they both failed. You like the others here are always trying to tell black people, in this instance particularly, how they should feel and act on those raw emotion surrounding these continuing murders and executions by the new massa. All this intellectual bullshit has not stopped the murder of black lives by the new massa enforcing the NEW JIM CROW law(s) designed to take the vote, deny civil and human right and even life itself from POC.
My eyes have been opened to the liberals and progressives on here claiming all lives matter to diminish the impact and import of the FACT that black lives have never mattered in amerikkka. Wonder about the importance of this demonstration and of #Black Lives Matter and its motives all you please, in fact, until the sheep come home. DOES NOT MATTER. So now I'm supposed to be suspicious because of your worry about funding. I say you are worried precisely because there is money behind #Black Lives Matter that can change amerikkka and allow some of the privileged to lose some of that which they fear losing.
Black people are getting sick of the deaths. What can the privileged on here NOT understand about that? It's pretty simple. A child in kindergarten can understand the anger and frustration. Why can't you who intellectualize violent death of unarmed POC at the hands of the new massa into all lives matter and white lives matter, which they always have?
Bernie and O'Malley should have been quicker on their feet and got what was necessary to keep this issue of racism alive and not pushed into the want ads section of national thinking. ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will REMEMBER SANDRA BLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will demonstrate for SANDRA BLAND. I promise, The progressives and liberals will not be able to forget SANDRA BLAND.
