While not coming right out and calling it a conspiracy he did ask the question "Why hasn't Black Lives Matter interrupted other campaigns"? The only thing that makes sense I stated in a blog of a few days that Black Lives Matter could be a conspiracy because they didn't bother any other candidate . Lord knows all 18 of the other candidates are better targets.
I doubt it is a republican responsible as they have their own problem in Trump. That leaves Hillary or O'Malley but I believe this is more Clinton style.
Here is the link to Ed's daily podcast 28 minutes or so each day. Watch the last two podcasts and see his comments on Black Lives Matter's attack of only Bernie, suggesting as I did that is might actually be a conspiracy. Of course they could rectify that by attacking other candidates..
Ed even suggested that this movement has no leaders making it similar to the Occupy Movement I can hardly wait for the finger wiggling of Occupy comes to this movement.
What ever they hope to achieve they lost the support of this progressive and most likely can't get me back on board. Disrupting the only candidate that might do them some good is not the way to mend their problems.
Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors, and Opal Tometi co-founded the Black Lives Matter Movement when George Zimmerman was acquitted in 2013 for fatally shooting Trayvon Martin. Just for your info.
ReplyDeleteThe first Blacklivesmatter interruption of Bernie included at least one of the leaders. Bernie had already scheduled a meeting with them after the talk they interrupted. I am a BIG Bernie fan. I was sad when that happened. But I had also been following the endless murders of unarmed black people (Eric Garner got to me the most for some reason). And endless videos of racism against children at pool parties, women and men driving to work,etc.
As a white person, I had the privilege to assume that the problem had gone away. It hasn't even gotten better. Just imagine if white people switched places with black people. Wouldn't we be a pissed off group of people! So I quickly said lets forget it and move on. People of Color for Bernie (Facebook page) have addressed this extensively. Really good dialog.
I still believe the second "Blacklivesmatter" interruption of Bernie was a plant. There is proof on Facebook that one of the women works for a group hired by corporations to disrupt events. The group she works for is named and it shows a clear picture of her.
It is critical if we want to win that we do not let these corporate saboteurs divide us.
Bernie has forgiven them, I hope you can in time.
