"Are harsh, intolerant, self-indulgent radicals trying to hijack Seattle?"
The Seattle political left is laboring to label the booing of BLM on Saturday as liberal “racism.” Its echo chamber, removed from reality, has resorted to rationalizing tactics neither rational nor civil. Most of all, the movement to change police tactics, to restore economic justice, must appeal to Americans’ basic sense of justice and fairness. Black Lives Matter sure didn’t do that on Saturday.
Apologists are now claiming, in the words of one former intern at The Stranger, that disruption of the speech, “forced Sanders’ campaign to address racial justice.” It was, he posted, “making progress f****** happen.”
How condescending toward candidate Sanders. He is a veteran of the 1960’s civil rights movement. He has been talking for 50 years of the need to eradicate racism. He has spoken to unemployment of African-American youth, and America’s absurd incarceration rate, from coast to coast and before 13,000 people Saturday night in Seattle. At Westlake earlier in the day, the crowd was prevented from hearing intelligent, passionate discussion of economic justice and eradicating racism. No wonder people booed.

He had racial justice on his sight already. And he has dedicated his life to it. Please read up on him if you want the truth and you'll see what an extraordinary human being he is and always was. Fighting for your own cause is great. Fighting someone else's is extraordinary in my book. He really never had to do jack--he lost family in the Holocaust; he could have stuck with just that--but he did has always, always, to this day, fought for the disenfranchised and the voiceless. And he's fought boldly too to make better laws that literally impact our daily lives.
What Has Bernie done exactly? I'll tell you if you want to know.
Peace & solidarity...
right around the time the meme was picking up steam here with a certain segment.
Any direct challenge of the meme is met with silence and repetitions of the same statements.
And on edit, I notice she has six posts hidden and is currently flagged for review. Wow, that one post reeked of virulent anti-Semitism.

conducts itself. Many of my fellow gays feel the same way as I do. Does that make me a self loathing gay hater who is also gay? 
The attempts by the people who try to equate criticism of how a group with a worthy cause conducts themselves with hating the cause is fucking disingenuous and absurd and it is being done for obvious reasons.
I entirely agree.
