What?

Dog barking up the wrong tree. What an insanely foolish and divisive move, esp when Bernie's policies ARE the most beneficial to black voters, out of all the people on both sides of the political divide

In what way?

Tuition-free college, for one. Meaning most black kids who don't go past high school bc of poverty + no scholarships can actually attend, and graduate debt free.
Black enrolment @ most state universities is still less than 5% and I'm pretty sure its somewhat cost-related.

I agree that' sounds good on the surface. But idk how he would even make that happen, other govt grants and scholarships? That has nothing to do with the cost of school in general. Unless you know more than I do.

I don't know how it would be implemented bc I'm not an economist, but it's been done all over. Germany, Norway, Switzerland, literally all of first world Europe (except the UK, but even that is heavily subsidized to almost nothing) .
Even in 3rd world countries.
There's no excuse.

I don't know exactly what you expect us to do about it. Blacklivesmatter is inclusive. Anyone can tag their message with "#blacklivesmatter" if they want to, even if their message isn't explicitly coming from the majority of blacklivesmatter supporters (as demonstrated by these lovely ladies). Regardless, it's nobody's business to decide how "serious" the movement is. It shouldn't even be a question. We're talking about a group of human beings' rights. It is serious. Always. Period, point blank, it's a hard fact and nobody gets to combat that. The problem is that we have a bunch of ignorant people who actually believe that we live in a post-racial society. That the blacklivesmatter movement is "unnecessary" and that we should forget about black lives, and focus on "all lives instead of the black ones".

I'm at least hoping that someone higher up in the rankings will speak out against this before the racebait headlines get a chance to do too much damage this week. The last thing the black community needs is for people to actually believe that this is how black lives supporters act.



And that's just another part of the problem. This is a bit of a tangent, but it seems like everyone is always more than willing to believe that all black people are "ghetto hoodrats" every time they see one isolated incident of a black person acting like less than a model citizen (but let's just ignore all the white people who riot and act like hooligans every day). It's always the black community's fault for not doing something right (even when we actually do it right). But the same people will be the first to say "don't treat ME like a racist just because of this one other white person did something racist". It goes both ways and it's stereotypes like this that are hurting both sides more than anything. There will always be idiots of any race. People need to stop expecting every single black person to be completely perfect. And stop using isolated incidents like this as a means to discredit the plight of others.

What these girls did was extremely rude and obnoxious. But it in no way speaks for the black lives movement or the black community. These girls' actions were completely self-serving, and anyone who tries to use them as ammo to tear at the black community (or explain "why blacks are treated the way they are) is clearly only looking for more reasons to discredit our fight for equality.

Now they're mad he hired a BLM activist. I guess they think it's disingenuous?

So basically, they shut down his event because they dont believe he understands or truly supports #BLM but once he hires a BLM activist to help understand it and include/organize them into his platform, he's still not good enough?

good god. these people are actually crazy. they had a point from the beginning but now they're showing themselves to be WAY too deep into these issues. They are lost.

You are really showing your ass asking questions like this and if this is your way of being lazy and getting information from others then do your thing but I don't want to participate.

Do your own damn research

- LET HER SPEAK! LET HER SPEAK! LET HER SPEAK! LET HER SPEAK!
- ok after Bernie is done you can have the mic
- NO! LET HER SPEAK! LET HER SPEAK! LET HER SPEAK! LET HER SPEAK! LET HER SPEAK! LET HER SPEAK! LET HER SPEAK! LET HER SPEAK! LET HER SPEAK! LET HER SPEAK! LET HER SPEAK! LET HER SPEAK! LET HER SPEAK! LET HER SPEAK! LET HER SPEAK! LET HER SPEAK!

Watching the video again, these girls are absolutely embarrassing.

They are not reasonable at all.

Shamefull.

Too much

Still waiting to hear a single coherent policy proposal from BLM activists...
