#BlackLivesMatter activists shut down Jeb Bush campaign even

[NewOrleans]

White lives matter-- GET FUCKED. Out of curiosity, did Bernie's fans chant this last week? Hmmmm? Or did they just complain about wanting solidarity or some weak shit?  I'd be interested in knowing if Bernie's supporters were open racists in the way Jeb!'s were.

I could be wrong but I thought some of those comments were made after the first BLM interruption a few weeks ago and I'm pretty sure they were in comments on articles and stuff.

I don't remember reading anything like that specifically about the Seattle thing, though.

I meant at the event.  I don't care about the maggots in the comments section!

Sorry, that's what I meant - at the first event, I remember reading something of that nature at the first event (it's like right there at the back of my brain) and then some things in comment sections after that first event and then after the Seattle one.  But I don't remember reading anything about comments at the Seattle event like that - just in the comments section.

He was in North Las Vegas? That suburb has a significant black population; he should have anticipated this.

I can't wait to see how Hilary handles a BLM disruption. My guess is brilliantly.

Bernie Sanders fans are just as racist, they just think they are not because .... they voted for Obama. Read the op ed I posted yesterday "white people come get your cousin." He argued he believes in BLM but not because they are black. Race has nothing to do with. He would stand by any color person who faces injustice. Which is the liberal white way of saying "all lives matter."

He added, “With all due respect, a child that is educated, that believes that their chances of going to college, living a life of purpose and meaning, is important.”

WHAT THE FUCK DOES THIS EVEN MEAN?!

He probably could have won over some moderates if his response was better. He should have been prepared for that.

I am glad the protesters are joining forces with PP and immigration activists.

Take moar tests and go to corporate charter schools. hth

Guys, I am not saying Bernie fans are not racist. I am just wondering if they started to yell white lives matter in response to BLM at the corresponding event.

I'd bet good money she has consultants and focus groups prepping her for every scenario.

I know we talked about how tight HRC's security is, but I think they'll have a little security "lapse" that give protestors an opportunity, which she'll then use as a platform to discuss racial issues and what, precisely, she plans to do about it.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!  No.  Just, no. So if your child does not pull themselves up by their bootstraps then they are shit out of luck?

I think every single candidate is a stone cold moron if they don't find a way to anticipate and respond appropriately in the moment to these protests. Or get ahead of the protest by communicating with movement leaders and incorporating it into their campaigns.

Of course that will infuriate a bunch of the R base, so it will be enjoyable to watch all these bumbling fools make total asses of themselves.

I was just thinking this. Do they all think they won't have to deal with these questions?

For a Republican, he didn't totally blow it, so I guess that's something? It's not much, but I was expecting it to be an epic fail.

Maybe he was implying that? Implying a reference to DuBose?

I hadn't thought of that until you guys mentioned these.

At first glance it just looks like a privileged douchey elitist comment.

My biased opinion is that he is channeling Paul Ryan here:  Things like welfare and going to a school in a bad neighborhood are a problem because they make black children feel bad.  Black children with all the feels don't go to college or get jobs.

I think he is saying, "Black parents it is your fault if the schools are bad" and "Black kids it is your fault if you BELIEVE that institutional racism is real instead of believing in the American dream."

This means: Sorry (not sorry) to be disrespectful for blaming you, but if you had made sure he was in college (or on his way to college), you wouldn't need to be worried that he could be murdered.
