In reply to the discussion: What Bernie said in June of this year about Black Lives Matter. Did the hecklers know? [View all]Erich Bloodaxe BSN
(14,733 posts)You're really doing Bernie no favours at all by continually posting OPs and comments attacking the protesters, referring to them as 'hecklers', trying to 'prove them wrong'.
What people out in the real world see is a bunch of white guys attacking a bunch of black people - because they DARED to hold a protest demanding something be done about black people being murdered. It looks and sounds just like something the RW does.
You feel aggrieved that people keep calling you things? Then quit acting like what you're getting called. And quit trying to drive off black voters from Bernie by constantly attacking black protestors in the name of 'proving that Bernie is actually a great guy'.
You want black people to vote for Bernie? SUPPORT the causes they care about, don't ATTACK them. And quite frankly, attacking people protesting murders isn't a good look on anyone.
Quit whining about how misunderstood Bernie is, and what a victim he is, and start recognizing the victims who are lying dead.
Cause all of this 'defense' is pissing off people I want to vote for Bernie. They won't vote for him if all they think about when they hear his name is white people going on and on and on about how cruel BLM protestors were to him and how they're nothing more than 'hecklers'.
