BLM Seattle ... And I quote ...

This city is filled with white progressives, which is why Bernie Sanders’ camp was obviously expecting a friendly and consenting audience for today’s campaign visit. The problem with Sanders’, and with white Seattle progressives in general, is that they are utterly and totally useless (when not outright harmful) in terms of the fight for Black lives.

You start to wonder if the whole thing is a set-up of some sort, to make sure no real, actual change can happen on any front....

3. Is it just shortsighted tactics? Or is someone working to simultaneously discredit BLM

...and the Sanders campaign as a "bonus" takedown?

4. it's simply a fact that BLM needs white progressives in a major way

I've been reading comments all over the liberal web and on Twitter. Due to this action in Seattle, which I don't believe is representative of BLM as a when, they're losing thousands. about as counterproductive as imaginable.

who probably aren't even with BLM want to wage war on white liberals/progressives. They're too scared to tackle the GOP racists so they figure white liberals are an easy target. Cowards and loudmouths.

8. The white progressives who just elected a council which approved a $15 min wage?

Those white supremacy-believing, black lives-hating Seattle liberals?

You sad, pathetic tools. Whoever is paying you to do this, I hope it's a lot. Because a lot of people are done with you after today.

I think I'll just support any and all efforts to eradicate racial injustices and systemic racism coming from any and all candidates that put forth a strong effort to address it. Politicians need to hear all of our voices in unison.

NAACP has/is speaking up and out, is organized and knows exactly what to do and how to do it. They have a history and for the most part, they have my trust much more than BLM.

We can not do this without each other, white, black, gay, straight, religious or atheist, liberal, progressive, human.

We need each other to do this TOGETHER!
