27. It's is incredible that you actually believe that

It is not a "meme." Black Lives matters predates those media stories by more than a year. The notion that you would so summarily dismiss concerns of activists fighting for human lives is incredible to me. All because you think this helps a politician? It does not. It does great damage to him. I have seen Sanders lose two AA supporters this week on this site alone. Do you know how few black people there are on DU? Imagine that magnified throughout the black community. The right-wing ideology is the notion that those BLM protesters are "evil," a term that other OP used, or plants. Black Lives Matters have a right to protest. African Americans have a right to question candidates. They are not inferior to you, your friends, or Bernie Sanders. That you would so summarily dismiss basic civil rights and human rights is horrific. All this because you think it helps Bernie? You all couldn't do more to derail his candidacy if you had tries. And you think you are actually helping him?
