“There is a lot more in the Buffalo News story, and the largest section—from an interview with the owner of Sky Bar, is really fucking questionable.”

Shit like this is why most women don’t report their rapes.

CANNOT UNSEE

If she wants to look like Michael Jackson, that’s her business.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again:

But Sanders has addressed today’s issues numerous times in the past week. He addressed Sandra Bland’s death and acknowledged that, had she been a white woman, this wouldn’t have happened. He’s spoken about how the criminal justice system is skewed toward adversely impacting POC, especially young black men. He’s spoken…

Yeah, I’m not white, so please stop assuming I am. I am a person of color, though not black, and do not benefit from white privilege, so please, enough with the “supported you” and “gave our lives for you” and “unworthy of living amongst you.”

This is not going to get them heard, this is going to get them hated and ignored. Reading all the articles about this, no one is talking about gentrification or police brutality or any of their talking points. Everyone is now focused on how rude BLM Seattle is. Their message is lost and all they’ve accomplished is…

If they were aware of anything about Bernie, they’d know that he has taken the issues they speak about seriously and been working on them for the many, many years of public service he’s provided this country. It’s not like he has a magic wand, he’s one person from a small state but he’s continued to work, and try, and…

No, we will not tolerate racist police officers shooting black men in the back or yanking black women out of their cars for minor traffic violations. You know and I know that Sandra Bland would be alive today if she was a middle class white woman. That is unacceptable and that has got to change! We have got to say…

I hear you and want to make it clear I stand firmly with BLM. I can certainly, as you say, “understand their passion”. I even think disruption of some kinds of events can be effective for some purposes. That said, I’m not convinced that *this kind* of disruption is ultimately going to be what moves “black lives issues…

To say Bernie Sanders hasn’t acknowledged white supremacy is straight up ignorance. How many Sanders interviews, town halls, public forum situations have these people even seen? I don’t mean this election cycle. He’s been on the scene for twice as long as some of these people have been alive. My guess is they haven’t…

It’s crazy rudeness. Real unfortunate. I can’t help wondering if these women know much, if anything, about Bernie Sanders background which includes 50 years of actively working specifically for civil rights involving black Americans. He’s no newcomer to some cause du jour. He’s also far and AWAY not a stereotypical…

I agree with this. Bernie was chosen because Bernie would stand aside and let it happen. Pretty certain any other candidate, GOP or Dem, would have had protesters immediately hauled off the stage.

I’m honestly starting to think Clinton’s paying them to do this.

Ugh, I’m sorry, but I think this is atrocious. I understand their point, but at the same time, it’s like, good job alienating yourself from potential allies. They are so incredibly rude, even after Bernie stepped aside and let them speak. What are they hoping to gain from this? The US is 78% white; they’ll need white…

This woman is giving others a bad name in BLM. The main Seattle group apologized and explained it had nothing to do with them (which it in fact did not). I think the first interruption was okay, and benefitted Bernie (and O’Malley), so that they made racist police brutality more important to the campaign. But this was…

They’re the left’s version of the right’s Trump supporters. (Note: I am not comparing Sanders to Trump.) Insane fringe nutcases who are quite happy to drive a nail through their party (or the one closest to their interests) for the sake of a very short term rhetorical victory. And having no class or clues whatsoever.

To be clear, the people involved aren’t the least interested in a Bernie Sanders candidacy or presidency. Being obnoxious is intended to “send a message” to white progressives.

This made me so uncomfortable. I don’t agree with that level of disruption, solely on a personal level. Like, getting that close to him and yelling in his face? I woulda tackled somebody. BLM being spearheaded like this....eh, I don’t like it.
