Did he get a new memo? Just this morning he was calling him a socialist commie who didn't stand a chance against Hillary. Maybe he's trying to save face?

Someone, a PoC, told me via pm that another PoC was not dark enough to have the right to voice her opinion.

I shit you not.

at not one, but two HRC sites, about MOI.

I admit it, I am melanin challenged, but given I was born in Mexico, and I am Latina and Jewish. I count as PoC under the crazy ways the US does race.

And I am proud of that fact.

To me people doing that, regardless of melanin content, ARE racist.

I don't think anyone's color should keep them from having a right to express their opinion. I feel everyone is equal and I hate that this country is so systemically racist. It's a travesty.

Punitive welfare reform, jailed , shot and sentenced to death at every turn by that establishment.

I am glad the establishment took a beating today, as a multiracial entity (when you have 4 races in you, you don't count to anyone as any one of them), I feel like justice, or at least the start of it is on the way. They should report our minority numbers, I am sure we have finally had some say this time around, just like we did in '08.

A people's revolution is coming, and since we are the lowest of the 99%, we may finally get some measure of equality beyond the lip service of those that would call us animals, superpredators and things I would never repeat here!

I am in a good mood tonight and this is after the day of the anniversary of my beautiful wife's death. A victory for those not born WASP and with millions in the bank + some very kind support from the community here that has given me hearts just to help with the sadness of my loss.

Cheers brother!

(edited to add, I have nothing against whites, anglo saxons or protestants and should not have used that word, hell, parts of me ancestrally are many of those things), I erred in judgement by using that slur, I had unfortunately learned in my youth by a resentful older member of my family to use that term for all the Jamie Dimon Thurston Howl types born on home plate thinking they swung the bat to get the free home run that they inherited. please forgive me

they have to fool dems into watching MSNBC so they have to occasionly convince them MSNBC is for them and to claim they are fair to Bernie.

next you will tell me this site is connected to the campaign as well.





On a very real world, I have used them, back in the day they were still used... those things can make your eyes tear up some serious way.

MSNBC Suspend Chris Matthews or Give Bernie Equal Time

http://pac.petitions.moveon.org/sign/msnbc-suspend-chris-matthews.fb51?source=s.fb&r_by=14951740

MSNBC should suspend Chris Matthews, host of Hardball, because of his constant shilling for Hillary Clinton. In every episode of Hardball, in every "exclusive" interview with Clinton, he gives her endless time to make her case, repeats her talking points, gives her softball questions, denigrates Bernie Sanders and his people powered movement and reinforces the narrative that she will be the Democratic nominee. Matthews should be removed from the air for the duration of the campaign or he should be required to give Bernie equal time.
