(22,772 posts)You know what a Minnesota commie I am. Ha.
I guess to some of the MELTDOWN folks - the Code Pink, OWS et al tactics are all ok (all I support! even when it was ridiculed here by the more "sensible" among us) but BLM trying to gain the attention of Democratic Presidential nominees to address issues of life and death is enough to bring about white liberal meltdown.
I'm a white, feminist, economic justice warrior AND a Bernie Sanders supporter and I get it! You get it. Why is this such a full on white liberal meltdown? People of Color are being killed - and the new Freedom Riders want our Presidential candidates to get off stump speeches and acknowledge this fact - out loud, in front of cameras and in public.
People are dying - yell LOUDER until someone listens.
They are seeking VALIDATION of their concerns from the Democratic Party that PoC have SUPPORTED for DECADES.
Again - I'm a Bernie Economic Justice Gal! but my god -those who don't *SEE* the CIVIL RIGHTS REVOLUTION RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU BLOWS MY MIND.
