When political friends become foes. "You don't know me but I'm your brother


...
I was raised here in this living Hell
You don't know my kind in your world
Fairly soon, the time will tell
You, telling me the things you're gonna do for me
I ain't blind and I don't like what I think I see...." ~Taken It To The Streets by the The Doobie Brothers~


The Black Lives Matter folks crashed yet another Bernie Sanders gathering this weekend, and it has white liberals quite upset with some of you Negroes. "Why are they protesting poor Bernie Sanders? The man marched with Dr. King for crying out loud." (So did Charlton Heston, but we get the point.) And you are hearing a lot of this as well: "They should be out protesting republican and conservative gatherings, not the people who are actually supporting black causes".

I can't say that I disagree with that sentiment, but I also understand the anger and frustration with professional politicians like Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. Like the great Doobie Brothers say in their song, they are always telling us what they are going to do for us, but they can never quite deliver.

I have heard that this particular group is fronted by George Soros, and that he (Soros) is with Hillary all the way, so he is the person behind all those protests against Sanders. I am not sure if that's true or not, but if it turns out to be the case, the protesters might want to do some soul searching.

Soros? That would be sad, making him like a Koch brother from another mother.

He actually has the resources that people could use to free themselves from a lot of this nonsense, instead of just enabling more bank$ters and teabagger types.
