Man I love me some Erykah, but between this and the homophobic stuff... After the Ceelo rape disasters don't know how much more I can take
Plus the racism! They completely lost me when they went after John Lewis
Also the man he hired to run his campaign is a misogynistic asshole. I saw him speak for about 5 mins about Hillary letting her “ambition” ruin the Democratic Party and I thought “THIS is the guy that Bernie hired to run his campaign?!?!”. Explained a lot of the smarm and misogyny I've seen in his campaign. That…
Lol, the great “Protest Against Crime in General but also Specifically all those Black People Who Murder Innocent Children”
This is amazing! For a quick second I thought that was the actual lyrics and that Everlast was the new Nostradamus
I don’t know, I think BLM has been incredibly successful as a social movement. Their talking points are being brought into mainstream political discussions and debates, and Hillary and Bernie are literally fighting over who is more progressive on racial social justice issues. I have never seen this in a presidential…
Yes!!! And also “Hillary’s camp” didn't say these things, Gloria Steinem said them.
Wha???
To be fair to Joe Biden, VAWA is a big deal in my field, and it was included in the crime bill, in large part due to support from Biden. It makes my heart hurt that VAWA appears to be a casualty of this (deserved) renewed scrutiny of the crime bill, it’s one of the most important pieces of legislation regarding women…
I totally agree. A+ apology
How is this never mentioned?
Lolz my family has been getting some serious side eye from me about our “Cherokee great great grandma” since I was about 15. And I’m not nearly as smart as Elizabeth warren
I totally agree, really like Elizabeth Warren, but off the top of my head, that whole “I’m part Cherokee” thing would be hard to downplay in a general election.
Yes!!! And get involved in social justice movements and submit testimony during state election cycles. The presidential election is not a social justice movement or “revolution” as people like to call it these days, and the president doesn’t work alone, they work as part of a complex system of checks and balances. And…
I remember in the hockey player coverage (whatever his name was) they had said she was falsely accusing him bc there wasn’t any Dna evidence in the rape kit, however there was significant bruising in the vaginal area. One articles perspective was along the lines of “how do we know if she just doesn’t like it really…
Yep, I think that explains a lot of the generational divide. The folks that are too young to remember the Bush Gore Nader disaster are excited about Bernie, and the rest of us are like, shit, this again
THIS is exactly why I’ve grown to hate the Sanders campaign. What a place of just total, acknowledged privilege if the only thing you have at stake in this election is Wall Street corruption and your fragile sense of personal integrity. Myself, and many many others are literally terrified for our personal liberties…
I fully agree with you that BLM should not endorse a candidate. However I feel it is often presented by many, including the comment I responded to, as if the movement has endorsed Bernie Sanders. Melissa Johnson speaks very eloquently about how she is amazed at how fast revisionist history is working. Bernie Sanders…
This is the kind of misinformation that really turns me off of the sanders campaign . Ta Nehisi Coates did NOT endorse Sanders, he said he finds many things about him lacking and problematic, and stated that while he was planning to vote for him, he was NOT endorsing him.
