I would tell them to go fuck themselves. Black people don't get a special pass, neither does anybody else.

3. There is a difference in being a non-conformist and just disrupting people who are trying to speak

BLM was given an opportunity to address the same crowd before Sanders speech. They addressed said crowd. Sanders was then pushed aside and shown zero respect, something that is odd considering he has been respectful towards their cause. Did it ever occur to anyone that perhaps Sanders was going to address the situation involving economic inequality and the criminal justice system that is broken and targets Black Americans disproportionately in his very speech he never got to make. Keep disrupting these events and people are just going to tune out your message. But whatever!

However, people causing trouble that only helps the Republican Party can go take their demands to someone else. I don't give much of a fuck about the demands of Republican enablers.

who lost most of his paternal family to the Holocaust, bow down to you and grovel and apologize publicly for some unspecified crimes against poc, calling him a white supremacist, shoving and screaming is disgusting. And defending that shit, is all kinds of ugly.
