(19,460 posts)"It was embarrassing to watch these narcissistic, bullying and above all shortsighted misandrists as they again disrespected and attacked our one best hope for economic, civil AND racial justice in America.
Funny though how the folks at Black Lives Matter always give Hillary Clinton a pass: For example, Martin O'Malley said "all lives matter" and was promptly and roundly crucified - yet Hillary said the same thing and-? Crickets.
This must be because George Soros, who is funding BLM, is a Hillary supporter. Yet poor Bernie - interrupted 2x in a row now when he has the best record on civil rights of anyone! ... I guess this horrible case of political sabotage is just one more indication that the Clintonistas are Feeling the Bern!! #BLMHRCWTF
=========================================
BLM is a loosely affiliated amalgam of people with differing agendas, all elbowing each other to feed at the great George Soros funding trough.
Soros is Hillary Clintons largest donor and supporter.
The result is that there is now a coordinated effort on the part of several black activists and groups to discredit Bernie Sanders among the general population but especially among Black Americans. Shameful, really. "

(45,319 posts)I have been what BLM is and thus I have always supported them. This recent action is the best, most elegant and effective as yet but the Clinton supporters can't stand it just as some Bernie supporters couldn't stand him being interrupted.
Fact is, any group doing disruptive activism is going to get lots of push back. Among DUers, very few consistently support such activists, most support only selectively while bashing away at other activists who do the same things. LGBT activists have been castigated and torn to shreds on DU by the same persons who pose as constant champions of disruptive activism on other occasions, for straight activists. 'I am always against this tactic' they would say, only to support that tactic when people they like did it.
I assume the OP has never taken part in any sort of disruptive activism. It shows strong in the DU posers. I mean posters. No actual experience with the creature in question.....

And black lives still matter.
