(297,216 posts)and then we find out more about what all went down across the cybersphere ..
"There were a buch of them here and on Kos and even that Damn Nicole Sandler (Radio or Not show host, used to sub for Randy Rhodes) went all extra racist talking about she was resigning from progressivism because, reverse racism. Alot of people lost their minds. Member of DU were busy trying to get Elon (the black guy who hosted netroots) fired from his job and accusing him of planning this.
They're way too paranoid.
They forgot the lessons of Dr King when he and his supporters were fighting for Voting Rights in Selma, Alabama..
".: We're not asking - we're demanding! Give us the vote! ... Martin Luther King Jr.: That means protest! That means march! That means disturb the peace! That means jail."

This is dialogue from the movie .. but you can see by their actions.. that's how they felt about it.
I just finally saw Selma last night.. all the way through. Bless those who Marched from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama.

Dear White Progressives,
Black people don't HAVE to support Bernie or anyone. You don't own us & we don't owe you ANYTHING

The very idea.. they think they are "owed" something. It's about #BlackLivesMatter.. not tit for tat.
Like your sig line.. "Don't be a Stander. Try empathy. (I'm back to not having a candidate - Biden? What's up with Chafee? ) Please stop trying to educate all us black people about Dr.King and who marched with him. It's irritating."
