Acorn killed with lies and so the BLM, BLM protestors, Bernie, someone else is going to be killed off because of lies?

Petition closed? daredtowork Aug 2015 #1
Who are these "white supremacist liberals?" blackspade Aug 2015 #75
Turns out Black Lives Matter Activists was a seperate entity. Bubzer Aug 2015 #99
Looks like their "stage" got hijacked, too! daredtowork Aug 2015 #102
I would say there really isn't room for the claim that the group has no centralized leader... Bubzer Aug 2015 #103
So if a bunch of fakers apologized in the name of BLM daredtowork Aug 2015 #105
Well, and thats part of the problem at hand. Who's fake and who's real? Bubzer Aug 2015 #109
Again, that's why it's good to check out the founders opinion. nt daredtowork Aug 2015 #120
And I would agree. There is a caveat though. Bubzer Aug 2015 #121
You are confusing organizational structure with philosophy and intent of the organization. nt daredtowork Aug 2015 #130
Assuming you're right, then the BLM organization has a messaging issue. Bubzer Aug 2015 #131
BLM doesn't have a messaging issue at all. "Stop Killing Us" seems pretty clear. daredtowork Aug 2015 #133
You are confusing analysis for judgment. Bubzer Aug 2015 #134
Because they have nothing to do with BLM. They are fakers. nt daredtowork Aug 2015 #136
Okay, so they are fakers. I'm not disputing that point here. Bubzer Aug 2015 #138
Anyone is at risk of being catfished daredtowork Aug 2015 #141
You're confusing a directed response with a collective response. Look at post 99. Bubzer Aug 2015 #142
The real question is who are the fake BLM working for? leveymg Aug 2015 #127
You correctly chose the word: "Spiritual." Eleanors38 Aug 2015 #112

BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors has come out snagglepuss Aug 2015 #7
Wow... thats unfortunate. Bubzer Aug 2015 #9
It also means that the OP is false. For DU, that's disappointing. George II Aug 2015 #83
The origional OP is still correct. Black Live Matter Activists is a splinter group. Bubzer Aug 2015 #110
maybe it is not everything Supersedeas Aug 2015 #132
Yep, I read that and I was just reading an article written by Alisha Garza notadmblnd Aug 2015 #10
So, liberals are the enemy now? What is this movement about now? haikugal Aug 2015 #11
From what I gather reading their works- everyone who is not in agreement with them is the enemy notadmblnd Aug 2015 #12
Thanks for your answer. haikugal Aug 2015 #13
No, I did a google search of the founders notadmblnd Aug 2015 #25
Thanks for the links and information. haikugal Aug 2015 #46
Short answer, yes. notadmblnd Aug 2015 #50
This is an excellent question. I was really shocked snagglepuss Aug 2015 #14
Maybe they're not trying to effect the change you thought they were aiming for. winter is coming Aug 2015 #64
You're right and it has been a jarring experience because I have been assuming snagglepuss Aug 2015 #71
FWIW, that's my take. HooptieWagon Aug 2015 #88

This isn't about elections or coalition building artislife Aug 2015 #108
Lotsa luck with that. hifiguy Aug 2015 #18
+1 nt restorefreedom Aug 2015 #22
I agree they will not make friends or influence anyone that can really help them effect the change notadmblnd Aug 2015 #32
It certainly doesn't speak to a liberal democratic government with equality and consensus. Nuclear Unicorn Aug 2015 #33
These folks have some heavy personal issues they aren't dealing with because snagglepuss Aug 2015 #42
Exactly my thought. HooptieWagon Aug 2015 #89
Yep. NaturalHigh Aug 2015 #137
they will go up in flames with these fake protesters. Acorn anyone? roguevalley Aug 2015 #20
Acorn was fake? Sheepshank Aug 2015 #91
no. acorn was killed with lies. roguevalley Aug 2015 #93
I still don't get the analogy Sheepshank Aug 2015 #100
Respect and dignity is a two way street. n/t Skwmom Aug 2015 #67
This was what I wanted to know. nt daredtowork Aug 2015 #96
Sorry, Ms. Cullors: Get into the game, expect your hand to be called. Eleanors38 Aug 2015 #113
If one wants to be treated with respect and dignity, one should act in a way that shows it mythology Aug 2015 #128
Whoa! Guess we'll see where this goes. I like the petition idea 99th_Monkey Aug 2015 #3
I couldn't agree more. CTyankee Aug 2015 #4
Credible with whom? Supersedeas Aug 2015 #139
With the broader African American community primarily 99th_Monkey Aug 2015 #140
The Seattle NPR station interviewed the head of the Seattle chapter of the NAACP today. PSPS Aug 2015 #5
there's alot of that going round Supersedeas Aug 2015 #135
BLM Co-founder Patrisse Cullor has come out and stated that they are part of BLM snagglepuss Aug 2015 #6
Those 2 are yahoos and rusty fender Aug 2015 #8
Then BLM owns the statement "white supremacist liberals"... PoutrageFatigue Aug 2015 #15
I pointed out that it was even in an essay by Alicia Garza daredtowork Aug 2015 #97
I am really kind of sick Skidmore Aug 2015 #16
The problem is that BLM is not actually addressing the issue Hydra Aug 2015 #19
Really? Skidmore Aug 2015 #56
Read their official statements. I put a blank there not because there's nothing Hydra Aug 2015 #59
Perhaps that is why dialogue is needed and Skidmore Aug 2015 #61
No, that's not what BLM is working toward Hydra Aug 2015 #65
I don't think they are asking for anything other than Skidmore Aug 2015 #69
That is exactly right ismnotwasm Aug 2015 #79
BLM sheshe2 Aug 2015 #95
Bull shit sheshe2 Aug 2015 #70
Agreed. PeaceNikki Aug 2015 #21
"They're angry and scared and hurt" Nevernose Aug 2015 #48
I think you are spot on. Skidmore Aug 2015 #57
Real lives are more important than politics or careers. Period. n/t freshwest Aug 2015 #80
Politics decides Shankapotomus Aug 2015 #106
+1000 blackspade Aug 2015 #82
Exactly. Starry Messenger Aug 2015 #94
Okay. So, then, how is interupting Bernie Sanders suppose to help the situation? Bubzer Aug 2015 #24
Their disruption led to Bernie’s explicit platform on racial justice. PeaceNikki Aug 2015 #27
Ehh... the campaign has already stated it was in the works before the event. Bubzer Aug 2015 #29
It went on his site Sunday. PeaceNikki Aug 2015 #31
Definately. Bubzer Aug 2015 #38
So you think they came up with it overnight in response? Egnever Aug 2015 #43
You don't think the Netroots event and Saturday helped get it there? PeaceNikki Aug 2015 #45
No I think that defies logic Egnever Aug 2015 #49
I disagree. PeaceNikki Aug 2015 #51
I agree. historylovr Aug 2015 #63
I think Netroots did. RichVRichV Aug 2015 #129
Probably he wanted to get it good rather than get it out catrose Aug 2015 #36
I would. okasha Aug 2015 #92
Too bad it took a SECOND distruption to get that platform. George II Aug 2015 #84
Like he wouldn't have listened otherwise Shankapotomus Aug 2015 #107
This is not about Sanders. Skidmore Aug 2015 #30
Okay, so, again, shouldn't these protests be targeted at those who can more readily affect change? Bubzer Aug 2015 #35
I don't think "a lot of good-will" Skidmore Aug 2015 #37
Well, I'd suggest taking a look at some forums, and you might be surprised. Bubzer Aug 2015 #41
No goodwill has been lost ismnotwasm Aug 2015 #76
Bernie Sanders is already in contact with BLM. Bubzer Aug 2015 #104
When did Sanders leave the Senate? You say.... George II Aug 2015 #86
Its pretty well know that once somone decides to run for office... Bubzer Aug 2015 #122
This may sound flippant Nevernose Aug 2015 #44
So no one fired at the cops? Egnever Aug 2015 #26
Did the article say that? Skidmore Aug 2015 #34
The article tries to paint a picture of an innocent bystander shot when cops just went crazy Egnever Aug 2015 #39
wel Truprogressive85 Aug 2015 #47
You can see them shooting at the cops in the video Egnever Aug 2015 #52
? Truprogressive85 Aug 2015 #55
They shot him Egnever Aug 2015 #58
i see Truprogressive85 Aug 2015 #62

Me too. Skidmore Aug 2015 #72
Clearly much more important. onehandle Aug 2015 #73
Very weird Skidmore Aug 2015 #77

Fine. If you don't want to be part of the coalition, keep your ass off the stage. Marr Aug 2015 #40
The ‪#‎BlackLivesMatter‬ organization did not create any petitions demanding apology from Seattle ba riversedge Aug 2015 #54
When a movement is based upon a twitter hashtag, Maedhros Aug 2015 #60
That is a gross oversimplifiation. Skidmore Aug 2015 #78

Marissa, you owe no one an appology. NCTraveler Aug 2015 #111
In this day and age, who the fuck apologizes for anything? Bad form. Eleanors38 Aug 2015 #114
"In this day and age, who the fuck apologizes for anything?" NCTraveler Aug 2015 #115
It looks like the BLM's "spirit" leadership is right on time with public bravado. Eleanors38 Aug 2015 #116
I agree. "Tase her" was yelled from the crowd. No one appologized. NCTraveler Aug 2015 #117
And Bernie was "violent" to Ms. Johnson. But she's in the Celebrity System now. Eleanors38 Aug 2015 #118
No idea what you are talking about. nt. NCTraveler Aug 2015 #119
This whole issue is frustrating. Bubzer Aug 2015 #123
That I get and overall agree with. NCTraveler Aug 2015 #124
