Bernie was not "attacked". He was given an opportunity to up his game by listening to their message. scarletwoman Jul 2015 #28
Here's what he was saying when they shouted him down. madfloridian Jul 2015 #32
It was Bernie's turn to listen. Why is that so hard to grasp? scarletwoman Jul 2015 #40
SO...he really wasn't supposed to answer? I'm confused now, really confused. madfloridian Jul 2015 #46
He's supposed to respond by taking on their message as his campaign goes forward. scarletwoman Jul 2015 #53
I have read many of these threads, seriously considering leaving DU permanently. F4lconF16 Jul 2015 #54

Honestly, I've posted more this weekend than I have in years. scarletwoman Jul 2015 #85
No, it wasn't Bernie's turn to listen. It was Bernie's turn to speak. And the asses shouted him down Comrade Grumpy Jul 2015 #59
"Asses"?!? You're calling them "asses"?! scarletwoman Jul 2015 #63
Yeah, they were asses. And apparently clueless about Sanders as well. Comrade Grumpy Jul 2015 #84
The way you guys rip apart black activists like this is why you cannot bring in much black support. bravenak Jul 2015 #97
They were acting like total asses. Thats NOT the way to get people on your side. phleshdef Jul 2015 #103
They did fine. He is now addressing their issues better. bravenak Jul 2015 #105
Wtf. Bernie Sanders has been addressing their issues strongly for ages! phleshdef Jul 2015 #121
Do you not realize that white people lecturing blacks about civil rights is a meme? Stop! bravenak Jul 2015 #122
Oh get over yourself, I'm not lecturing anyone about civil rights. phleshdef Jul 2015 #139
Lol! It's the reason for the #berniesoblack. bravenak Jul 2015 #191
You're just being corrected because you're wrong on the facts. Jester Messiah Jul 2015 #209
Oh, leave me alone. I'm done getting bullied by Sanders afficionados. bravenak Jul 2015 #211

What you fail to understand is BLM is the civil rights movement giftedgirl77 Jul 2015 #29
Here's what he was saying when they shouted him down. madfloridian Jul 2015 #33
And people are saying he was "booed off the stage"? arcane1 Jul 2015 #43
Yep, he was spinning it back to the unemployment bs. giftedgirl77 Jul 2015 #48
He was speaking of the justice system. Unemployment is not BS. madfloridian Jul 2015 #52
Bernie Sanders is incapable of addressing the social injustices giftedgirl77 Jul 2015 #55
Why is he incapable of it? madfloridian Jul 2015 #60
Well he has failed to do so thus far. giftedgirl77 Jul 2015 #62

Very good question. DamnYankeeInHouston Jul 2015 #35
She was at a fundraiser, and she didn't do well in 2007. jeff47 Jul 2015 #37

madfloridian, I am heartbroken over the whole thing. Enthusiast Jul 2015 #79
Why would you be heartbroken? It didn't damage Bernie, it gave him an opportunity to get bigger. scarletwoman Jul 2015 #87
You can not say there's no damage done. madfloridian Jul 2015 #88
There will only be damage if Bernie doesn't work with BLM. scarletwoman Jul 2015 #89
I am a white liberal Bernie supporter. I know for sure I am not the only one madfloridian Jul 2015 #90
