In reply to the discussion: So exactly WHICH candidate for POTUS IS BLM supporting, over Bernie Sanders???? [View all]Cha
(297,211 posts)40. "Bernie, you were confronted at NetRoots by black women," Johnson said. "You have yet to put out
a criminal justice reform package like OMalley did."
Good to know, pnwmom, thank you.
Al Giordano knows this about what Martin O'Malley has done since #BlackLivesMatter came to Netroot Nation
"This Will Keep Happening Until Bernie Sanders Learns"

Instead too many of you are on Twitter right now whitesplaining and lecturing and talking down to black folks and people of all hues who happen to see this through the lens of the same team. Oh, yeah, that's a real bright idea for winning this campaign. Let's go on Twitter and troll the black people about how they don't understand Bernie.
Bernie handled it badly again today. He left the stage and went shaking hands among the white people in the crowd. He told a reporter that the protesters "don't want to listen to anything." Just like in Phoenix, he ran.
Contrast that will how Martin O'Malley handled the #BlackLivesMatter Protest in Phoenix .. he shut up. sat down and listened, and listened a lot more. Went through out to conference all the damn day seeking to listen to people of color who would talk to him. And, since then he has put out the most progressive and detailed policy proposals on controlling police violence, prison and criminal justice reform and related matters. You don't see people protesting at his rallies. They probably will soon enough but, he'll know how to respond unlike your guy."
Much more.. worth the read.. https://www.tsu.co/AlGiordano/75250428
