What we have learned with BLM in the last few days is...

Certain people, I cant say the word, are not comfortable with BLM and especially not comfortable if they rudely interrupt their candidate.

Certain people, I cant say the word, will act in such a way that will make said BLM wonder why they even bother with said "certain people".

A lot of people people thought Joe Wilson was an ass when he interrupted the president.

Its not that BLM is treated differently, its that a lot of protest like this by anybody are looked down upon.

but I do have a question.

How did you feel about the way that President Obama handled the LGBT protester in the White House?

people protesting, I say they have a right to do that, but they should be met with ten times their number from the adult side.

But all protest is legitimate if non violent.

...but I see both BLM and SBS having demonstrably improved from this. Hopefully that is true of liberals progressives and Democrats in general.

Someone mentioned Trotsky, but none involved seems destined for the dustbin of history just yet.

We need all players playing at a high level! Blacks cannot fair well in a Scott Walker administration and white liberals likely wouldn't do much better.
