Gang violence...
since blacks are the most reliable democrat voting bloc, it only makes sense that black advocacy groups hold democrat candidates accountable for giving not just rhetoric and past marches but actual policy proposals to address our issues. without BLM, i doubt any of these candidates were going to put much actual effort in policy. i support BLM activism to the extent that politicians may begin to feel the need to have something concrete to offer before they get upstaged again. that being said, i am beginning to wonder if some of these women are being hired by clinton.

The Bernie sanders Campaign is attempting to win back the white working class vote(particularly male) and if your going to do that you can't talk about anything that is seen as a "black" issue because it becomes an instant turnoff.
He's the only candidate who has even spoken about income inequality, police brutality and disproportionate incarceration rates...so I don't know how exactly he's avoiding talking about "black" issues.

I like Sanders but let's not pretend his platform doesn't suffer badly from tone deafness on black issues at time (and a large chunk
of his white Liberal fans are fukkin insufferable and condescending on race :scust:) economic populism is fine but he needs to relate it better specifically to Black audiences

Cause the banking and finance reform are bigger issues.

"I had a Sarah Palin button on backpack" Who is BLMS's Marissa "Johnson" Jenae? -
Democratic Underground



It's said that if you decide to act above reproach, you had better be above reproach. It seems that Marissa "Johnson" Jenae did not heed this warning. A photo posted by Jenae to her FB page (Linked) in which she stated "This woman has known me since high school, back when I had a Sarah Palin button on backpack....we been thru a lot."

Alone, we can surmise that she may have made a few questionable choices in her youth. OK, she was young, but Palin was a candidate for VP running against the first black president. But when I read down a little further, my benefit of the doubt limit had been reached.

"GOP shoulda groomed me right then...now they gotta see me on the other side *shrugs*"

For real? It's like that? This wasn't 8 years, or even 4 years ago. She posted that last month. So my question is, what kinda grooming would it have taken?

If you're going to accuse white liberals of racism, and target the only presidential candidate, U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders with a 40 year track record of standing up for #BlackLivesMatter you might not want people to know that "I had a Sarah Palin button on my backpack" or admit that the GOP could have "groomed you more". Because now you look disingenuous at best, and an agent provocateur at worse

It's like a sick joke our babies, brothers, sisters, mothers, and fathers are being killed daily and these types run around un touched. This stuff really pisses me off, more so that we bring light to these people and that they even get spot light/ attention. You can offer these people a political position right now and they will be like :whoa:. These people literally have no skills and serve no purpose to the advancement of Blacks globally. And it appears a lot of these folks are suburban kids too who aren't even in touch with the real struggle. Like we really need to focus on some type of Revamped Talented 10th/ Black Elite class, because everyone can not and does not deserve to be saved. The current Black Bourgeoisie is a joke because their goal was to sit at the table with racist opposed to building their own damn table, we need something else tailored for those who "get it".

Man fukk this bytch.
She's not doing anything positive whatsoever just trying to be racially divisive and fukk up the one legitimate candidate we have.
fukking attention whore.
most of the black folks I've talked to feel the same way. They're receiving a lot of backlash. We just need to continue our support of Yung Bern because people are obviously ignorant about what he has stood for his entire political career.

Back when I first found out about Bernie and followed his campaign I remarked that the one thing he was lacking in was stressing his history with race issues beyond his actions in the civil rights movement but this is just :snoop:
He's a good man, you can trust him, if you have an actual complaint him or his people will get back to you an reevaluate, this is oooooooh so wrong :snoop:

Hiliary Clinton is the champion of black people brehs. That's why she supported mandatory minimums, three strikes, cutting welfare, draconian housing laws, NAFTA, Capital punishment, and Wall Street banks that disproportionately targeted blacks and then disproportionately lost their wealth in the crash.

The Clintons have always been great friends to the black community. Ever since sistah soulja

:troll:

I remember when bill said that the then senator Obama would be serving him drinks in the senate not too long ago... Or when the Palin surge happened, after Mcain appointed her his vp , and she for a time because a problem for Obama, Obama asked hiliary to attack her, Hiliary refused saying she would never be a critic of another woman {what when she tore apart that rape victim on the stand or her husband bills whores?} and later on Bill sang Palins praises whenever he could on the networks before the presidential election was over. Butt hurt no doubt that his wife had lost. Later on Hiliary postively gushed when Palin sang her praises after reading that in hils book.

Such friends of the Black Community. No wonder President Obama reportedly cannot stand her or bill.
