Aug 2015

wasn't mentioned by Marissa and the other woman when they were up on stage.

And funnily enough, the two (or three) BLM Seattle FB pages didn't mention him either nor did Outside Agitators 206 (a group Marissa is apart of) mention him either. THAT tells me all I need to know.

Here is why I am so disheartened by BLM and what they reflect [View all] Armstead Aug 2015 OP

Agree Completely With Your Perspective cantbeserious Aug 2015 #1

Agree! And definitely; "Sanders and the movement behind him represent the best chance -- RKP5637 Aug 2015 #2

All well and good. You're spot on defining the issues Gman Aug 2015 #3

True but... Armstead Aug 2015 #5

No they're not completely mutually exclusive Gman Aug 2015 #8

K & R! PatrickforO Aug 2015 #73

What part of that says they should attack Sanders? dreamnightwind Aug 2015 #6

If you're implying Hillary Gman Aug 2015 #21

They're not dead, and it is you who are missing the point - eom dreamnightwind Aug 2015 #47

And Bernie cares just as much about stopping police violence as they do. Ken Burch Aug 2015 #62

No, dreamnightwind is absolutely right. PatrickforO Aug 2015 #74

Then why are they protesting someone who can't do anything until January 2017? jeff47 Aug 2015 #9

Lynch and Obama aren't running for prez Gman Aug 2015 #19

No....he is prez. So he can already do anything they want Sanders to do in January 2017 jeff47 Aug 2015 #34

When Eric Holder declined to prosecute the cop Gman Aug 2015 #46

And that can wait two years. No need to press for changes now. jeff47 Aug 2015 #49

I pointed that out after NRN and got read the riot act by a poster on DU zeemike Aug 2015 #20

They should not protest Obama tularetom Aug 2015 #76

Do they still not believe that Bernie is with them on fighting systemic racism? Ken Burch Aug 2015 #61

I can't speak for them Gman Aug 2015 #64

what bothers me more than this ibegurpard Aug 2015 #4

They didn't just risk it, they did it Hydra Aug 2015 #10

Having watched them in action on the video I disagree Armstead Aug 2015 #12

That's why someone has GOT to step in and start organizing this ibegurpard Aug 2015 #14

That is exactly what is needed. We need another MLK - 21st Century style. jwirr Aug 2015 #39

Are you saying the TWO disruptors speak for all BLM? Is BLM an organized body or a loose collection Vincardog Aug 2015 #71

I don't know. I hope not Armstead Aug 2015 #79

...^ that 840high Aug 2015 #51

This is what I find so disheartening emsimon33 Aug 2015 #41

Then there is the fact that racism cannot be legislated away. The effects of racism can. n/t djean111 Aug 2015 #7

1000% AGREE. n/t Triana Aug 2015 #11

To the oligarchs in power black lives don't matter, azmom Aug 2015 #15

Sadly you are right. 840high Aug 2015 #52

And Bernie will fight those oligarchs. That is the whole point to his campaign. totodeinhere Aug 2015 #58

That is what is frustrating. In order azmom Aug 2015 #68

When a race is hunted and murdered MyNameGoesHere Aug 2015 #16

Outbursts and disruptions are one thing SHRED Aug 2015 #18

I am not being hunted for some sick sport MyNameGoesHere Aug 2015 #43

Targeting liberals is... SHRED Aug 2015 #45

But they should only be protesting the people defending the murderers. Ken Burch Aug 2015 #63

Exactly. TNProfessor Aug 2015 #22

BLM made it about them and Bernie. HooptieWagon Aug 2015 #23

Yep. We're all insensitive racists. Armstead Aug 2015 #26

Christian Taylor romanic Aug 2015 #32

but why do they target Bernie Sanders? What did Bernie Sanders do to that magical thyme Aug 2015 #24

Exactly - why aren't they going after the GOP with as great a zeal and vigor? Hestia Aug 2015 #30

Why not? MyNameGoesHere Aug 2015 #37

but they aren't taking their anger out on "anyone." they very specifically appear to be magical thyme Aug 2015 #60

It's possible that it's not truly personal, that it's tactical Babel_17 Aug 2015 #38

But there is more going on here than looking for some payback. Bernie was targeted two times jwirr Aug 2015 #40

What use is it to go after Progressives? It's beyond stupid. If they want something snagglepuss Aug 2015 #48

Why not? MyNameGoesHere Aug 2015 #56

Detail one solid accomplishment by BLM Seattle that has snagglepuss Aug 2015 #65

Why do I need to critique MyNameGoesHere Aug 2015 #66

There are effective ways to act and there is grandstanding. snagglepuss Aug 2015 #67

I get to name MyNameGoesHere Aug 2015 #78

If there is more than one solid accomplishment I'll be impressed. Actually snagglepuss Aug 2015 #81

But why go after an ally? They should have been in Ohio disrupting that Republican totodeinhere Aug 2015 #59

Great post. zentrum Aug 2015 #25

We don't really know SusanCalvin Aug 2015 #29

Exactly. Lack of hierarchy ended Occupy way too soon. I know everyone wants it all right now Hestia Aug 2015 #33

You're right Armstead Aug 2015 #36

Exactly! tinkerbelle Aug 2015 #35

I keep thinking somehow 840high Aug 2015 #54

I hated what happened to Bernie both times. You're wrong on Hill. oasis Aug 2015 #57

K&R emsimon33 Aug 2015 #42

Bernie is making some very powerful mudstump Aug 2015 #44

They will do everything to stop him. Do not azmom Aug 2015 #69

No matter the candidate he or she can't be all things to all people. StarzGuy Aug 2015 #55

"It's much bigger than him": Absolutely! And we love how he demonstrates that Babel_17 Aug 2015 #70

You've got that exactly right. PatrickforO Aug 2015 #72
