Then this isn't directed at you. This OP is from a BLack Woman's view and what been happening Cha Aug 2015 #25
The crowd was mad because the protesters were antagonizing them killbotfactory Aug 2015 #78
they were yelling taze them at AA girls wanting 4 1/2 minutes of silence for Mike Brown. Cha Aug 2015 #79
All the crowd knew is that their event was being disrupted killbotfactory Aug 2015 #81
The crowd didn't want to hear about black lives--they screamed at those young women. MADem Aug 2015 #91
Do you think the crowd would have reacted that way... killbotfactory Aug 2015 #97

'why is there a narrative arising after this that's pitting white progressives vs black progressives HFRN Aug 2015 #54
White progressives? JustAnotherGen Aug 2015 #56
I was thinking more about Sander's political competition nt HFRN Aug 2015 #58
I don't see how this benefits O'Malley or Webb? JustAnotherGen Aug 2015 #60
keep going nt HFRN Aug 2015 #61
I beg your pardon? Keep going at what? JustAnotherGen Aug 2015 #63
I said 'his political competition', and you asked 'Omalley, Webb' HFRN Aug 2015 #64
eh - no - I disagree - JustAnotherGen Aug 2015 #65

I have to say when I read the posts about his age and frail condition my jaw literally dropped... Spazito Aug 2015 #83
If an adversary had broached his age, the post would be hidden. But to have his "supporters" invoke Tarheel_Dem Aug 2015 #86
It is definitely the wrong approach if one is defending a candidate, imo! Spazito Aug 2015 #88
That behavior is here at DU in a form, too GitRDun Aug 2015 #22
Sander's supporters should look to HRC's supporters as role models of tolerance of criticism HFRN Aug 2015 #53
