Bernie Sanders is woke as fuck about racism and the police brutality among African-Americans. Don’t act brand new, because he’s been vocal about this for a long time!
Then, I see ‘Bernie Sanders’ as the #1 trending topic on Facebook. Reading what the trend was about, it turns out that BLM protesters took over the stage, interrupted Bernie Sanders during his speech and wanted a moment of silence for Mike Brown. The event was cancelled due to the interruption.
HE’S ARGUABLY ONE OF THE BEST WHITE ALLIES WE’VE HAD IN A LONG TIME, AND Y’ALL GONNA SHUT HIM DOWN, FOR JUST 5 MINUTES OF SILENCE OUT OF 24 HOURS IN THE DAY?????
It wasn’t even just 5 minutes of silence. The co-founder of Black Lives Matter Seattle chapter started her speech about how racist Seattle is.
BUT DAMN, COULDN’T Y’ALL JUST TALK TO BERNIE AND ORGANIZE THE SILENCE FOR MIKE BROWN INSTEAD OF JUST INTERRUPTING HIM????
If the presidential candidate was doing their speech like Donald Trump, Jeb Bush, Rand Paul,or at least Hillary Clinton, INTERRUPT THEM! NOT BERNIE SANDERS!
Let me know what y’all think about this!! Do you think it was right for the BLM protesters to interrupt Bernie Sanders to pay respect to Mike Brown, or did do think what they did was unnecessary and could’ve been done differently?
I wish they hadn’t done this. He already is the underdog in this election. He has been very vocal about the murder of black people. I don’t understand how this was helpful. I bet if they had reached out to him he would have allowed them to come up and speak. In fact, he left the stage and allowed them to talk even though they interrupted. Imagine if that was trump. Every one of them would be in jail or tased or dead right now.
Not only did they make the blacklivesmatter movement look disrespectful (because they need to understand that when they do things in the public eye they are a representation of us) but they also potentially hurt the chances of the best chance we have to not end up in 4 years of blatant and endorsed white supremacy.
I think this says everything I wanted to say about this situation.
