I am not trying to be a jerk I want to understand why BLM is targetting Bernie and Liberals.

[MisterP]

28. but they're openly targeting Sanders, not using him as a venture to get attention for an issue

the real question isn't whether the other candidates would let them onstage, but why did Portland and Seattle's BLMs use the language they did that specifically TARGETED Sanders, and wildly inaccurately given his record and willingness to work with even BLM

"No lip service. No platitudes. No pivoting to economics ... This old white man and his colorblind economic policies ain't gonna save us y'all." #BowDownBernie "utterly and totally useless (when not outright harmful) in terms of the fight for Black lives. While we are drowning in their liberal rhetoric, we have yet to see them support Black grassroots movements" "Bernie Sanders will not continue to call himself a man of the people, while ignoring the plight of Black people" "without putting out an explicit criminal justice reform package" "You are either fighting continuously and measurably to protect Black life in America, or you are a part of the white supremacist system that we will tear down in the liberation of our people" "white supremacist liberals"

that is NOT the language of a faction (and I do mean faction, since BLM's so big) just seeing a Secret Service-free opening and taking it: they see Sanders as the main problem with politics these days, that he and his supporters are the ones keeping Black issues out of politics; they also rely on liberals closing ranks around them because they're trying to ride the race issue--we're not supposed to question it, or modulate our support, or do anything other than beg their forgiveness
