the only concern was whether they were being fair to everyone virtualobserver Feb 2016 #5

They have always been concerned ismnotwasm Feb 2016 #15

If BLM protests any candidates events I expect them to be thrown out. NCTraveler Feb 2016 #39

"Is it not better when BLM is not thrown out?" NCTraveler Feb 2016 #42

So, do you feel that activists are more effective when they make a splash and are tossed? jeff47 Feb 2016 #45
