watching said protesters ibegurpard Aug 2015 #3
Cheers alcibiades_mystery Aug 2015 #6
And good luck to BLM as well ibegurpard Aug 2015 #8
Exposing fake allies in their fakery is equally useful alcibiades_mystery Aug 2015 #12

Oh, there's some central leadership, alright. Marr Aug 2015 #88
Yep. It's a political smear tactic against a candidate who cannot be attacked on any policy issue GoneFishin Aug 2015 #98

Even if they're just clueless, which might be the case, Warpy Aug 2015 #127
How is Bernie a fake ally? RichVRichV Aug 2015 #20
It's just another lie. It's all they have n/t arcane1 Aug 2015 #32
They're doing a pretty piss poor job of trying to make the case that we are "fake"... cascadiance Aug 2015 #60

Shit down and shut up is BLM's message . bahrbearian Aug 2015 #74
No they don't. What I hear from them is STFU, we don't want to hear from you. GoneFishin Aug 2015 #99
They might be saying "Go Hilliary" bahrbearian Aug 2015 #104
Well, to be fair, "Look what I've done for you people" 6000eliot Aug 2015 #111
Its a fair question, but they never allowed an answer. It was sit down and listen. bahrbearian Aug 2015 #124
Yes it is ibegurpard Aug 2015 #10
One thing that I have heard from friends who live the experience loyalsister Aug 2015 #38
Interesting that the discussion about BLM tactics has morphed into FK the Liberals Hmmm eom LiberalElite Aug 2015 #80
Reading the article through a certain lens, it suggests that people (the BLM movement) owe KingCharlemagne Aug 2015 #84
Then they won't get what they claim to want. jeff47 Aug 2015 #93
As an experiment, replace BLM with OWS. NuclearDem Aug 2015 #4
Please, please, think before whitesplaining. pnwmom Aug 2015 #9
No one's whitesplaining now ibegurpard Aug 2015 #11
No one's listening, either. They made it clear what their goal is and you, among others, just ignored it. n/t pnwmom Aug 2015 #15
What's the goal? romanic Aug 2015 #18
It was in my post. The second link is from their Facebook page. pnwmom Aug 2015 #22
That's what BLM wants. romanic Aug 2015 #23
The OP is about BLM. pnwmom Aug 2015 #54
Why not ask the current president for those things NOW. onecaliberal Aug 2015 #108
Obama has security around him that would prevent them from getting that close to him. pnwmom Aug 2015 #109
If they were protesting at the White house onecaliberal Aug 2015 #114
You think 3 women shouting and waving signs at whatever is the legal distance from the White House pnwmom Aug 2015 #116
Look, I completely understand their anger and the onecaliberal Aug 2015 #118
"You must kneel before us" is always a good way to get people to listen. jeff47 Aug 2015 #94
Seattle is one of the gentrification capitals of the US. Gravitycollapse Aug 2015 #19
White liberals in Seattle don't create gentrification. romanic Aug 2015 #27
They absolutely do. Just as white, upwardly mobile consumers do in every city. Gravitycollapse Aug 2015 #31
No. romanic Aug 2015 #33
You've unwittingly demonstrated my point. They could institute rent control and other things... Gravitycollapse Aug 2015 #36
Yes many people know this ibegurpard Aug 2015 #39
Hopefully, it will wake some of them up to their complicity in the white supremacist power structure Gravitycollapse Aug 2015 #43
Oh my goodness romanic Aug 2015 #49
it won't ibegurpard Aug 2015 #59
More flowery tactics have clearly failed. So maybe something more radical is needed. Gravitycollapse Aug 2015 #61
No they shouldnt ibegurpard Aug 2015 #66
Then what is the solution? romanic Aug 2015 #40
The solution to gentrification is way too complex for me to fully comprehend... Gravitycollapse Aug 2015 #42
So in layman terms: "I don't have an answer." romanic Aug 2015 #47
So...I don't know how to fix it, but you guys are awful for not fixing it. jeff47 Aug 2015 #95
It's illegal in Washington State for any city to institute rent control measures. JimDandy Aug 2015 #125

Supporters of candidates should be trying much harder to listen. pnwmom Aug 2015 #17
Sanders listened for twenty minutes. romanic Aug 2015 #21
Did you miss this? pnwmom Aug 2015 #25
No I didnt miss it. romanic Aug 2015 #28
They're satisfied with O'Malley's package even though he presided over a pnwmom Aug 2015 #30
It's not about pleasing them romanic Aug 2015 #34
There are three choices that I can see. Bernie can either develop a plan like O'Malley did, pnwmom Aug 2015 #105
Fine. They can have their protest, but then GET OFF THE STAGE!!! FourScore Aug 2015 #26
Clinton hasn't been having this kind of event. She's been meeting with small groups of supporters pnwmom Aug 2015 #29
They tried. The protesters tussled with them. Sanders left, probably out of safety concerns. n/t FourScore Aug 2015 #35
So...they're unable to block the roads leading to a Clinton event? jeff47 Aug 2015 #96
The three women who disrupted Bernie's speech couldn't have blocked the roads pnwmom Aug 2015 #107
Because BLM is these three women. jeff47 Aug 2015 #119

Your reasoning is circular here. pnwmom Aug 2015 #106

Sometimes being told 'shut up' is a sign that you're doing something right. Lancero Aug 2015 #45
Not when it's and entire park full of people screaming it at you. FourScore Aug 2015 #48
That the park would rather scream at a protest against the mass killing and incarceration... Lancero Aug 2015 #50
The protest lasted over 20 minutes...They tussled with the organizers... FourScore Aug 2015 #51
Who knows? Perhaps Hillary is doing something diffrient then Bernies campaign is? Lancero Aug 2015 #53

Yes. I realise that, but I think Bernie would be by far the least compromised Joe Chi Minh Aug 2015 #76
And their tactics are saying "Don't do anything about it for at least 16 months" jeff47 Aug 2015 #97
A slightly different perspective MFrohike Aug 2015 #56
A brillliant article. What an apt metaphor - the guy Joe Chi Minh Aug 2015 #57
