Why isn't racism even being considered??????????

Last edited Sun Aug 13, 2017, 03:41 PM - Edit history (1)

We got surveys from the DNC and from Ed Markey, asking our opinion about priorities for the Democratic party. Racism wasn't even on the list!!!!! The results will be totally scewed!!! Whatever happened to black lives matter? Did anyone notice what happened in Charlotesville today?

The section on all minorities doesn't do it. The history of African Americans in the U.S. is a totally different thing than the phenomena of "Irish need not apply" and current anti-imigrant sentiment. Those are important and must be addressed, but we mustn't forget our history.

This is really, really shocking to me.

Has anyone noticed this trend anywhere else?????

It alienated the party in 2016 supposedly and being middle class is more important than addressing racial issues now

Unfortunately I believe we the federal government would have to be the one to charge him for a hate crime or terroristic act crime and we got the hood elf in charge....Sessions will take care of his fellow hater.
