there's something truly repulsive about mocking civil rights activism. what it says to cali Sep 2015 #18

No what's truly sad is the repeated marginalizing and condescending tone zappaman Sep 2015 #34

Cornel West is a BLM activist that's being marginalized and dismissed in this thread Chathamization Sep 2015 #59

That should nail down SC for Clinton so , yes nt arely staircase Sep 2015 #9
