Bernie's campaign message is not strictly all about Black Lives Matter. They want #BLM to be his campaign platform.

(last I heard) still a very powerful black President running the country. Attacking a Bernie Sanders gathering seems completely useless. As I did with all the people who wished me harm I confront "Them", not my fucking grandma. If they want impact hit a GOP event.

If anyone needs to sit down & talk with/listen to BLM, it is Obama and his Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, who just coincidentally is also black, as was her immediate predecessor, Eric Holder.
