@ThePoliticalRev @urmomshouse2nte No, I'm not an official member. But I'm working hard to be I don't want people to think this about BLM

it went as planned?

BLM. Anyone can create a twitter account. More to the point, the protest was organized by a different group entirely, not BLM, and this group's philosophies are more Huey Newton than Huey Lewis. They want to be heard, and they're not going to play the wallflower:

Heh.

I am a student of politics and what I was, was perturbed.

This is beginning to sound like political operatives more than activists, Anastasia (I do like a good Will & Grace marathon).

A non-apology.

But is your name from Karen's pseudonym?

Coz I always liked that show.

The person who wrote that twitter post says in his feed he is not an official BLM spokesperson

And, if this person isn't the person, then who is and what is their explanation for disrupting their biggest ally?

I heard from some "members" on Twitter that I don't "understand" and that they know where HRC stands. I asked why they don't know Sanders' stand since it's been on the Internet for years, but was told I was condescending.

Apparently, they can insult others, but those of us who ask them legitimate questions are accused of not caring.

This is just not a way to make friends and influence people.

shut up, as their statement of purpose makes clear:

https://outsideagitators206.org/who-we-are/

Wow.

Their goal is to make people kiss their ass like white people have done to them for years?

They sound like right-wing Israelis who don't remember what the Nazis did to them as they corral and ghettoize Palestinians.

not representative of BLM at all. A new FB page? BLM already has a huge online presence.

the individual members are in total, obviously. No one really could.

But #BowDownBernie?

So offensive.

quo. BLM doesn't seem to know who they are either. Another apology has come from them implying they are not familiar with them. And they certainly don't appear to be speaking for the movement, which from day one, I doubted and said so.

Seeing people here jumping on this bandwagon after NRN made me wonder where they were during the Ferguson protests, since I never saw any of them help US try to keep an interest here on DU in this most serious issue. The 'sudden support' for the issue literally stunned me as I recall one of the best reporters of the events surrounding Ferguson, posted his goodbye due to 'lack of interest' on DU. We begged him not to leave, but he like many of us, went elsewhere to try to get support for AAs re this terrible situation.

Some people would like nothing better than for him to get frustrated and yell "Shut Up!" or "What the Hell is Wrong with You People?!". And have that be the end of his campaign.

She's for real.

And I'm tired of hearing how I don't "get it."

Yes, I do.

What I don't get is how this helps any progressive cause - theirs, mine, the working person, the gay person. I do, however, see how it helps yours.

Who's accountable? She's the leader of a cell of a few people? Maybe 5 people?

I sure as hell hope #BowDownBernie isn't the message of a group of people larger than 5.

are doing approved of by the people involved in the movement.

That sounds like it came from someone who does represent the movement, is embarrassed by what these protesters did in THEIR name.

Good for them.

Shameful to USE such a horrible and ongoing crime against AAs for political purposes.

It's just about wanting personal face time on camera. It just marginalizes BLM movement by pissing off their allies. It's too bad, but that's what happens when you have narcissistic leadership.

who don't seem to know who these people were.

But I don't agree it is just about 'face time' for this group.

Isn't the woman listed as the founder of BLM in Seattle?

Just took me half an hour to get in line
Oops I see PoC and they look excited.

Place holds 10000 lots of people left outside.

Lots of people are sorry after they fuck up. Special is as special doesn't.

What kind of masochistic shit is that?

If they truly did, they would be begging the first black president and his attorney general to do something, anything to help. Since they are actually IN OFFICE NOW.

It's interesting that they are going after the one person who has done the most for all people. Bernie wont take office for two years. Maybe they should change their name to #blackliveswillmatterintwoyears. Apparently they don't care to go to the people who might be able to help NOW.
