BLM Trashing/Protesting Dems, Hillary, Sanders Counterproductive To Their Cause.

BLM strategy is just more than stupid it is dangerous. Let us see how far minorities get if the GOP gets in with full power. I am sure the GOP will take care of the situation just fine. Sure the Democrats may not have done much in their eyes but Democrats have been hamstrung all across the country with the GOP controlling so many state legislatures and now with majorities in Congress.

And the Democrats cannot do a damned thing under the present situation. GOP dominance has allowed them to stack the Supreme Court and pass laws diminishing minorities ability to vote. Only Democratic dominance can change that fact. Also we have a corrupt and biased media that is virtually RW now and is helping bash BLM as a terrorist group for all practical purposes. The media is pushing "white privilege" in its own way now.

So BLM is like a commander giving his soldiers' best weapons to the enemy in a fight.

Now that HRC has been interrupted the tactics of abLM are suddenly bad?

Listen, I would not have protested like BLM did, but they HAVE been effective in getting their concerns out in the open and into the DISCUSSION. I applaud them for that, I am not sure the softer gentler way would have done that.

Systemic racism is a cancer on our society. It is time we end it. BLM tore open the facade and forces us to face it.

As I said the Dems are hamstrung by GOP dominance and the bias of the media. The media is allowing the GOP to paint BLM as extremist and racist. I wonder what would happen if blacks were to resurrect an armed black panther movement and start agitating for black rights. And maybe they should.

However, I would bet Homeland Security would be all over that. Yet they are doing little against the white supremacist gun nuts.

you know why it isn't? Because no Democratic candidate can win without black voters. The Republicans won't listen and don't care, because only something like 5% of black voters vote Republican. Democrats? They have to listen. They can't afford not to.
