Dear Marissa and other members of Seattle BLM: [View all] cali Aug 2015 OP

Has BLM protested any Republican candidate? grasswire Aug 2015 #1

They are too cowardly, face it. ... I see I'm getting hostile, better go pett a cat. Shrike47 Aug 2015 #5

LOL My feelings exactly.... The empressof all Aug 2015 #9

Nope. No Republican, No Clinton, No Obama, No Lynch. (nt) jeff47 Aug 2015 #24

Exactly, but heaven forbid we call them on it - White Supremacist Liberals - that's what they called peacebird Aug 2015 #35

There's a DU poster who called the Bernie Group the same this morning. CrispyQ Aug 2015 #159

I smell a RAT. bvar22 Aug 2015 #177

Odd isn't it? That they would attack the candidate with the BEST RECORD sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #88

Well said Sabrina. AllyCat Aug 2015 #138

Not odd at all. Those that don't want Sen Sanders to be the Democratic nominee (maybe Goldman-Sachs) rhett o rick Aug 2015 #191

Actually they did protest Obama at Selma, some were removed by the police... PoliticAverse Aug 2015 #103

Yes. Obama did get to speak, though. merrily Aug 2015 #126

But Bernie. Has only the power of a US senator at this time. JDPriestly Aug 2015 #136

I'd ask them how all the love for the oligarchy is going for them... L0oniX Aug 2015 #172

They were a few people far away and they didn't Obama at all. aikoaiko Aug 2015 #133

Interesting - isn't it? 840high Aug 2015 #108

To which Lynch are you referring? merrily Aug 2015 #125

The Attorney General, Loretta Lynch. (nt) jeff47 Aug 2015 #161

How the hell does that sound "racist"? The word is losing its meaning, 7962 Aug 2015 #171

I immediately thought James O'Keefe--the ACORN guy. japple Aug 2015 #189

Now, that DOES sound racist. yardwork Aug 2015 #145

It sounds about as racist as saying A Simple Game Aug 2015 #150

Paying people to disrupt the Political Events of competators... bvar22 Aug 2015 #178

An interesting question would be if BLM was hosting a rally on the abuses of African Americans in still_one Aug 2015 #6

Can you guess? 840high Aug 2015 #110

Not even a different issue tblue Aug 2015 #127

Why aren't BLM supporting the candidate most likely to help them? PADemD Aug 2015 #7

IMO somehow LiberalElite Aug 2015 #11

BS. After the Netroots (or during it) they talked about shutting down future rallys. n/t Skwmom Aug 2015 #16
