(248 posts)Without having seen the segment, though, I would just advise my fellow Bernie supporters to take a lesson from Netroots Nation encounter and refrain from any attacks on the BLM movement. We all know that the issue of systemic racism in our society is vital and we need to keep focusing on it. Bernie will continue to speak out about this issue without lecturing or criticism of BLM, and we should follow his example. We as his supporters need to be talking about racial justice issues and help to inform the Sanders campaign about what specific policies he can advance to address them. Whether BLM thinks Bernie (or his supporters) are sincere or not is really up to them and that may not be something we can really influence, but we should still talk about these issues simply because its the right thing to do.
