My daughter who is involved in the movement and made mentioned of this....
did end up voting for Hillary in Mass.
So I'm glad that, at least, it is not Hillary Clinton circulating a similar type of Killer Mike video without the consent
from the person being referred to at she says at 4:46, "because these people are using me as an endorsement, same people were sending me death threats, and calling me a c_nt." 
so I'm thankful for that!
and she also spoke of the misogyny at 6:00 which I thought was quite interesting.
The fact that she doesn't appreciate being called a little Black girl, or her name being
used in a deceptive manner by a Black man, in the name of Bernie Sanders.
I wonder how some people would feel if that was their daughter? Her being called names and people wanting to fight her, and then sending her death threats just because they didn't like her presence at that Sanders rally!
All kidding aside, I now have zero respect for Killer Mike & Simone Sanders. Simone, who was also a BLM activist, got a job with the BS campaign, and then instructed the crowd to shout them down, if BLM ever attempted to take the mic again.
even heard of. 
I'm assuming surrogates, as loyal & as tone deaf as Killer Mike are handsomely paid for said loyalty. His "outreach", as it were, has been disastrous for the BS campaign if he's supposed to be pulling in black support.
Like you, I had never heard of him, so I just assumed that he was all the rave of the millennial set. But, knowing that you Gen X'ers don't know him either, makes me feel so much better. However, the fact that Killer thinks we're all blind or stupid says much more about him than I ever wanted to know. 
were being kind. It's a hell of alot worse that that.
And I thought it was hysterical that Janae was talking about the death threats and names she was called -- IN BETWEEN MLK QUOTES. Damn, does that shit sound familiar or what???
Is there a fucking class that some white people take on how to be as paternalistic and racially clueless as possible? The idea that white people feel that black people who disagree with them need to have random MLK quotes tossed at them is easily one of the stupidest, most tone deaf and ignorant things I've ever seen. Talk about FUCKING "white washing."
on how fast the narrative is rewritten.
Another great example off yours, this and AA millennials at Morehouse, that makes my head spin.
Thanks!
her at that Sander's campaign event and then BIT a young mom who tried to protect her from the crowd? Biters! Whoa, how did I miss that?
Rod, stop being such problem 
Totally worth listening to the entire thing for the discussion about what Bernie Sanders smells like at the very end. Freedom, old man, MLK's dreams or a blunt?
After hearing that interview, one would think they would know better than to try to appropriate here support. She is clearly not onboard with either campaign and not a bit shy about saying why.
when she disrupted a Clinton event.
And yes, BLM is about getting attention for their cause, forcing politicians to talk about it and take action. And they are doing a great job. I am amazed that someone would attempt to use them in a stump speech, even just a surrogate, without permission.
