I don't know what to think, but I wished

all of you would read the post on GD-P about the ring of Fire
article. IF TRUE, it casts a very dark light on BLM.

Normally I have found RoF to be an honest source
of info, and this scares the heck out of me.

In more ways than one. But they have inadvertently helped Sanders get more recognition for his past work and with his decision to let Symone lead the charge for him, there is likely to be a lot of new support coming in.

If BLM leadership is as bad as we are finding out...well, that speaks ugly volumes as to the Hillary Cheerleaders that have been supporting them here. Not that it seems to ever bother them.

and they are, shall we say, less than impressed with those articles and displeased with anyone who might agree with or believe them.

Again IF TRUE, they are deceiving thousands
of AAs, and that would make me mad.

I know that politics get into vile games and
deceptions, but this is using people's fears
and anxieties in a disgusting way.

agendas (or even main agendas) that the bulk of BLM doesn't agree with. Sort of comes with the territory in any large movement, especially leaderless ones.
