General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: it's really fucking simple [View all]Patrisse Cullors came out in support of them and says no apology petition comes from BLM.
Alicia Garza actually uses "white supremacist liberals" in her essays.
The Portland BLM movement supported Seattle BLM when they were asked for their opinion in advance of Bernie's visit.
Even if Marissa Jenae also belonged to that Outliers group I don't think Bernie supporters (of whom I am a strong one) can shrug them off as "not being representative of BLM. They are the leaders of BLM in Seattle. We have to accept they still are and that BLM is not a support group for Democratic politics. Some BLM members are strong supporters of Bernie, but others are strong supporters of Hillary. Some are outright anarchists. The BLM movement is not driven by party politics. They have a goal-driven agenda. Continuing to think of them through the prism of our own party politics will only lead to future misunderstandings.
Glad to see Bernie working with BLM now!
