(297,180 posts)mostly Black.. but other supporters got attacked too. It was so ugly, egregious, and pervasive.. and it was said in Bernie's name whether his supporters knew it or not. It went on for 2 weeks or more and it's still going on. Actually some Bernie supporters were calling the ugly posts out, too(Mahalo!).
Martin O'Malley got confronted by #BlackLivesMatter @ NetrootsNation,.. but we didn't see his supporters attacking the African American online supporters of #BlackLivesMatter.... accusing them of being Rove Plants and accusing Hillary and George Soros of pulling the strings behind #BlackLivesMatter.
They accused African Africans on DU of calling "Bernie a racist".. because they had the audacity to question him about his stance on "racial injustice".. "He marched with MLK!!!".. not current enough, Bernie.
Bravenak whose thread this is about.. was speaking out to her former fellow BS supporters and begging them to cool it.. it wasn't working, she said.. It only got WORSE.. and she continued to plead.. they thanked her by Alerting her and Hiding her posts until she was given the ol du time out for however long. Silenced her they thought..
But, while she's been Censored on DU.. Bravenak wrote to Thom Hartmann about it and she thinks others must have written, too.. Because he properly called out DU on his show!..
This is the result.. bravernak's and others' activism.. Thom Hartmann is a compassionate, intelligent person who supports bernie..
