"Over the weekend, Clintons black outreach director, LaDavia Drane, attended the Movement for Black Lives convention in Cleveland. That visit marked the campaigns first outreach to the movement, which has seen even wider press coverage in the past week after activists disrupted a presidential forum at Netroots Nation.
That protest has been fresh in the minds of presidential campaigns and many of the at least 1,300 attendees according to organizers at the weekends convention.
A Clinton campaign official on Saturday confirmed to BuzzFeed News that Drane had one-on-one meetings and group listening sessions to engage stakeholders including ministers, community organizers, elected officials, and other individuals in Cleveland for the Movement for Black Lives. An Ohio native, Drane engaged people inside the movement and listened to a range of suggestions related to Clintons outreach, as well as policy recommendations, the official said."
This is the most important issue.. right now.

Dear White Progressives,

* underlining mine for clarity
Are you pushing the idea that Bernie has a slave owner mentality? Or perhaps that his supporter do?

OP
"Flamebait"? Why is asking a question about Bernie "flamebait"? Is that just a stock retort

Ouch. Well, you know Republicans would use that in a general election. And it would be devastating.

So in your book, 70 year-olds can't be courageous? That's just sad, and very revealing.
