Hillary's baby steps towards addressing racial justice in a real way aren't working. She is lagging behind her competition, Sanders.

2. Yah that's a bad comment.

4. And? Elaborate your feelings here.

[Agschmid]

5. I think I just made my feelings pretty clear.

Sucky comment by a staffer.

ETA: Welcome back.

14. Thank you.

I guess. Considering I came over from Thom Hartmann's radio show.

[DocMac]

70. It's a bad comment!

It sounds like the NRA bullshit about the right time to talk about gun control. She doesn't impress me and is fading fast. Hang in there and keep posting.

[sabrina 1]

3. Wow! And she did use the offensive 'All Lives Matter' in a Black Church days after the

tragic events in Charleston.

'Now is not the time' for WHAT?

[Doctor_J]

39. all lives matter is only offensive when Sanders says it

[Flying Squirrel]

73. I believe it was O'Malley who said that.

http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/18/politics/martin-omalley-all-lives-matter/

[merrily]

78. Sanders never said All lives matter. Only Hillary and O'Malley did.

That Sanders said it was a lie, courtesy of NPR that was "corrected" later.

[jfern]

81. Actually he never did

In this case, the quotes are readily available on BLM activists' twitter.

Hillary doesn't want to deal with it.

[DianeK]

9. Hillary Clinton is pathetically trying to ..

co-opt the progressive message and it is false and insincere and falling like a bag of rocks! bill is pulling out the stops and calling in all favors..like the campaign debt he paid for howard dean ..and just google the feud he had with bill richardson..pathetic! and quite transparent...

[MisterP]

10. she's "the AA candidate" so she can treat actual AAs and activists however she wants

ditto being "the LGBT candidate" and backing Libya/Honduras/DADT

their view of politics is one of simple assertion of definitions, not of policies or records

[Thinkingabout]

11. Sanders is running behind with POC, posting these comments is not a way to change anything Hillary

Is doing, we continue to see these same type of posts, they are not working, continues to remind us of the failed interactions between Sanders and BLW, is this the desired response?

[passiveporcupine]

51. Nothing said by a Sander's supporter

on DU is going to change the way a Hillary supporter thinks or votes.

You guys are too locked into your candidate. Instead of the issues. Bernie supporters are locked into the issues, and will vote for anyone who truly represents them.

[Thinkingabout]

86. In fact I am locked in on my candidate of whom I share she position on the issues much more than I

do with Sanders. Besides this, Hillary is far ahead on foreign affairs and has advocated for children's and women's issues throughout her life, is strong on preventing gun violence, health care and wage disparity. She represents me.

[Fearless]

84. Where did the OP mention Sanders??

[sufrommich]

13. Is the tag being invaded by Hillary supporters accusing them

of being paid shills,or in on the conspiracy to bring her down,or crying "after all she's done for you!",or accusing them of not being deferential enough,or looking into their personal lives to see if there's any lesbian ex Palin supporters? Yeah,I didn't think so.

[JaneyVee]

15. SOROS!

They will do whatever it takes. It's Pathetic.

[Agschmid]

60. Deleted because it just isn't worth it.

66. I know right?! Been there done that.

[Admiral Loinpresser]

46. I'm curious. Are you satisfied

as a result of post #26?

[Luminous Animal]

90. No reply, of course. And likely off to the clubhouse amplifying the lie.

Though, the fact is, it ought to be deleted and I believe I deserve an apology.

[frylock]

53. Why don't you run it up the flagpole?

Oh, wait....

[artislife]

Did you hear that?

This is generational, too.

Students shout "let her talk!" and then the protesters, arm-in-arm, were taken out of the gym.

[jeff47]

27. Guess those students are white supremacists. (nt)

[riversedge]

31. Why would you say such a silly thing and look stupid. Did you even look at the video?

[jeff47]

33. Well, "let him talk" at a Sanders rally means they're white supremacists.

So it would be the same at a Clinton rally, right?

[frylock]

58. It would stand to reason.

[Purveyor]

37. And sexist too... eom

[romanic]

82. No the correct term some BLM "activists" would say about those black students

well...I don't want to say it but it rhymes with "Loon" and starts with a c. That's the gist of it really.

[cui bono]

28. OH! So if people in Sanders' crowd had just yelled "let him talk!" there would never have been

an uproar about Bernie and BLM.

I see.

Perhaps you can post an OP of all the campaign rules ahead of time lest people think you are making it up as you go.

[riversedge]

34. Your tone is horrible and does not deserve a response. Bye.

[cui bono]

36. And yet you responded.

How was your post any better than mine? What in my post was incorrect?

I hope you are not one of those who piled on about Sanders' PoC problem after BLM since you are excusing Hillary for far worse.

[Phlem]

49. He's got nothing.

pathetic.

[frylock]

62. Our friend seems to be in a rather untenable position here.

[dorkzilla]

74. Your TONE young lady!!!

Watch your tone! It matters not one not what you say, as line as the TONE is right.

[cui bono]

29. Oh, yeah, and because when another candidate draws crowds of 27,000 people no one wants to hear

what he has to say.

[artislife]

50. Sounds a lot like the crowd who gathered to hear about Medicare

on August 8th, Westlake Seattle, WA.

They wanted to hear about what they were interested in and by their speaker of choice. This could apply to both occasions.

Gee.

[frylock]

63. Seems reasonable to me.

[frylock]

57. Imagine that. A group of people who have come to see a candidate speak..

and being upset that it was interrupted by protestors. I'm sure that's the first time that's ever happened.

[Bobbie Jo]

30. Good

What I don't see are HRC supporters harassing these people en mass, or piling on with the vile epithets...

Good. I'm glad to hear them criticize and speak out. Damn good...

[Luminous Animal]

38. You haven't read twitter, yet.

There's quite a bit anger directed towards the protesters.

[Bobbie Jo]

42. "harassing en mass"

"piling on with vile epithets."

Words have meaning...

Haven't seen it spill over onto DU either, for that matter. Still shaking my head over that exhibition.

[NorthCarolina]

47. Thou shalt not disrupt Royalty when they speak. eom

[cui bono]

32. Looking forward to the dozen or so OPs about Hillary's PoC problem from the social justice

advocates here on DU.

[jeff47]

35. No, being the only candidate to call the police in means she handled it beautifully!! (nt)

[Agschmid]

41. She "Hillary" called the police in?

We are going to go with that?

[frylock]

64. Her rally, her security, no?

[Agschmid]

65. Actually no it's not "her security"...

It's local cops, state police, and secret service.

So no, not "her" security.

[frylock]

71. Fair enough. But surely she raised objections to their removal?

[Agschmid]

72. Now that I don't know.

[jeff47]

83. I apologize that reality does not conform to your beliefs.

The only Democratic candidate who has had the police/security/whatever remove BLM protesters is Clinton.

Which apparently is "handling it beautifully". Letting them talk? Oh that's AWFUL!!

[Rilgin]

56. Good luck waiting

I have come to the conclusion that the posters who declare themselves Social Justice Activists that post here are just Hillary defenders no matter the issue or fact. They have spent all their posting energy attacking a candidate who might be better than Hillary on almost every issue including their own chosen issue.

The sole basis for their support of Hillary and their attacks on Bernie are assertions that we can not have a universal justice candidate and that their one issue (something called social justice but not including the problems that affect other races) is more important than any other issues. For example, their version of social justice does not address any of the genocides that have occurred in the 20th century amongst the Asian people or current prejudice against the Arab people. It does not address, African American prejudice against Puerto Ricans in New York. It does not address a lot of the inequalities amongst races. They say Bernie has a problem with POC but they really only mean African American which is statistics they quote.

At this point, these particular posters are totally invested thinking that their single issue is the only issue that can be worked on by a movement (not just one of the most important. They invested themselves in Hillary and it would cause too much cognitive dissonance to (1) see past race to common human problem and try to realize that their might exist people that have even a harder time in both America or the World, (2) realize that that the problems with Racism and profiling are not unique to their race in both America and History and (3) even if they want to be one issue supporters to realize their chosen candidate has two right feet on Social Justice for African Americans.

[Prism]

85. They didn't say a word about Clinton's LGBT problem

Don't see why they'd say anything here.

It's like they think social justice is just this internet thing. It's not that important. Just a piñata to have fun with.

Meh. They've been doing it for years. No one's fooled.

[Truprogressive85]

40. Earn this vote

So proud of my comrades in action !


Shame on HRC staffer telling them ,that this is not the time !

[Truprogressive85]

43. Reading these tweets #Hillary4who

@ninicerules connect with what? more talk? where's the plan? Sanders has one. HRC keeps talking about it & asking folks to "wait"


The fact that older black leaders verbally attacking protesters show how high the jig is #hillary4who

One of the hardest things to swallow about the HRC event at CAU today is just that. It was in OUR home. OUR space. #Hillary4Who

Hillary felt safe saying #BlackLivesMatter in the AUC, but not at the Democratic Debate.
