Yes there is a revolution coming but it's not the one some people here keep talking about. [View all]

BLACK LIVES MATTER! What is so fucking hard to understand about that? President Obama said it best President Obama Says Racism And Homophobia Come From The Same Mindset http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027044894 "It means that you’re not able to see somebody else as a human being." - President Obama The cold hard truth is people talking shit about Black lives matter are of that mindset.

Hillary has spoken several times about Black lives Matter and how they are helping to change & shape America for People of Color. She gets it. She gets it because it's the right thing to do! When you take a Group of people that have been disenfranchised as the African American Community has and then you treat them with little to no respect yes they are going to take you to the woodshed.

This is the press release from Senator Sanders.

Press Release

Sanders Statement on Seattle Protesters

SEATTLE – Sen. Bernie Sanders issued the following statement today after two demonstrators blocked him from addressing an event hosted by an organization supporting Social Security and Medicare:

“I am disappointed that two people disrupted a rally attended by thousands at which I was invited to speak about fighting to protect Social Security and Medicare. I was especially disappointed because on criminal justice reform and the need to fight racism there is no other candidate for president who will fight harder than me.”

Senator Sanders here's a clue, IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU! It's about the people that are being hurt! So if two people stopped you from speaking today at a rally of thousands maybe what they had to say was more important than you had to say. Here's another clue you had another chance to stand with them and show solidarity and once again you didn't. You need to learn to speak to people, not at them you also need to learn it's not always about you and until you do pardon the expression, but you're going to feel the bern.

At the rate Senator Sanders is going he will never get out of the single digits and at the rate he's going with his demeanor, I say good!

Yes there is going to be a revolution but it's not going to be from Senator Sanders.

Hillary thank you for embracing all. Godspeed to the nomination!
