Bernie Sanders and Martin O'Malley Failed Their #BlackLivesMatter Test

35. I disagree that if Bernie or Martin had said "Sandra Bland"

They all would have taken seats and listened intently. But, we'll never know.

The one thing I am sure of is that racism is in this country trickles down. In fact, it may be the only thing that ever has trickled down on us. The hate, ethics and morals of the wealthiest.

Men like Donald Sterling, Donald Trump, Jamie Dimon aren't aberrations, and if one pays attention, one might catch a little accidental glimpse behind the curtain.

There are those that labor to increase the volume and power of the voices of hate and there are those who labor to create a better world.

If you want to find people who don't care about racism, who don't mind starting wars for personal gain, who don't care about climate change, who like the privatization of education, who gain from the incarceration and torture of the weakest among us and who desperately want things to remain the same, just look for the owners of those corporations who profit from it, the shareholders.

If one wishes to stand against racism, not standing with the racists would be a good start.
