38. I don't think you are being fair.

If BLM wanted to talk to Bernie about institutional racism in this country, they would not approach him this way. I am starting to think they don't want to talk to him at all. The only thing they intended to do here was insult him and prevent him from speaking at a meeting where the topic was supposed to be about Social Security and Medicare...not racism. That was not his choice.

Why don't they approach him and sit down and tell him what they want him to do? If you are trying to work with someone for change, you don't start off by insulting them.

I don't know why you can't see this.
