2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: So exactly WHICH candidate for POTUS IS BLM supporting, over Bernie Sanders???? [View all]artislife
(9,497 posts)I don't really care that Bernie gets heckled, what I do care about is that supporters and other white people will forget what the topic is.
Black Lives being killed by the authorities. It is so dangerous to be Black in this country, but too many of us are not looking at the pictures, not seeing the humanity.
We are getting side tracked by "bad manners" etc.
If I had gone to the noon event instead of the evening event, I would have been sad not to hear Bernie. I may have not completely liked the women...but their message is CRITICAL for this country to do more than be sad about these deaths, we need to stop these deaths.
And that's all. I know I have a Bernie avatar, whatever you call the bottom images and that puts me into a column that cannot speak to these issues on this site. But I want to repeat what I have been repeating here, I believe in BLM.
We all need to work for BLM. Lets do something concrete.
