I think that years of Israel defenders immediately invoking the Holocaust and anti-semitism has erased any good will.

Sure it is.

My only assumption is that maaaaaaaybe the people who consistently rush in to praise Israel as a perfect utopia of tolerance are being just a bit hyperbolic about it.

But when that guy stabbed those people at the gay pride event, I was assured by many many many people that Israel was the most progressivistiest country in the world on gay rights. Did....did someone lie?

White people who do awful acoustic covers of rap songs will not be treated kindly by history.

There have also been plenty of competing visions of socialism. I’ll continue to fight for mine and you yours; that how things move forward.

So it’s the shouting you don’t like? Or the interrupting? If Bernie is socialist, then it wasn’t his rally. It was ours, too, and we deserved our say.

I am having trouble understanding your general position. You speak favorably here of sit-ins and marches past, but rail against contemporary protests as somehow bad because “speak loudest” to get attention and somehow equivalent to fascist thugs like Trump. Is it rear the same when the oppressed force their way in as…

They have. They have protested Republican candidates, as well as another Dem candidate (O’Malley) and tried to at a Clinton appearance but were barred from entrance.

Bernie said it.

you do realise that Republicans and non-progressive Democrats and independents represent a way bigger segment of the population, right?

Not myself. I applaud everything they do to make people like yourself uncomfortable. Read more.

But if all it took was this to make you dislike it, you were never actually an ally. You were calling yourself one because it's nice to think you're not prejudiced or racist or whatever until it got too uncomfortable and too messy and real.

The idea that you jumped to conclusions because you might have a prejudice toward black women is “fucking ridiculous.” Right. I never suggested that you “hate” black women. You did.

They had spoken out at a previous appearance and had not gotten a response. They had also staged a similar protest at an O’Malley appearance, and O’Malley had updated his positions and addressed more issues on social justice and police reform in response.

Posting again b/c they didn’t hear you.

*I* did. That was the reaction *I* had. So yeah, it worked. For me, it worked.

Who are you talking to here?

It isn’t a fixed group though, with no memberships or anything of the sort. They did protest when Hillary Clinton was speaking, except they were kicked out and spoken to later. You seem to think just because Bernie’s a socialist, he is exempt from any criticism.

I’m a black feminist and I won’t see this movie in a theater because I’m afraid of getting shot by a white boy. Who’s also probably a mysoginist. And mad about his girlllllfriend.
