To the progressives on this thread who thought the women from BLM disrupting the Bernie Sanders speech were just “assholes” need to watch this
It’s also very heartening to see that the Bernie Sanders Campaign gets it, and is now working with #BLM… note this twiiter convo between BLM organizer Deray McKesson and Bernie

The BLM activists who objected to Sanders political free speech are still assholes.
The BLM activists who ignored the rights of the people to hear from their candidates (Sanders), are still assholes.
The assholes who try to justify the actions of the BLM activists are just misguided.
Yeah. MLK was such an asshole for getting himself jailed, how awkward.
“I like people who don’t go to jail.”
Really? I did not know you felt that way about MLK.
Democrats are not the answer, not for Blacks or most other minorities, women, labor, the poor, or LGBT.
But what is their alternative? Republicans are no better, either, and there is no powerful third party that could swing the balance of power.
LGBT have done pretty well, but not, I think, due to the Democratic Party; they were extremely well organized, absolutely relentless, and - maybe most importantly - their goals are conservative family-based goals.

Well of course, any black who protests needs to be jailed otherwise they gonna riot, just like they didn’t.
Okay, what did the Bureau of Land Management do today?
That’s very imaginative of you.
