Why aren't they shouting NO TPP over these other two white speakers?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

[all american girl]

1. Yeah was noticed that

[Metric System]

2. They're shouting "Bernie" over this platform committee white guy now. What is WRONG with them?!?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

12. so they shout over Cummings?

[tallahasseedem]

4. Well, it's obvious.

We both know why.

[Peacetrain]

5. I have the TV turned off again.. I just could not take the rudeness

So they are only shouting down POC?? says a lot right there!

[still_one]

6. Isn't that interesting. They did when Elijah Cummings was talking about civil rights, and they did

when other African Americans were speaking.

What kind of message does that send about them?

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

9. What we people of color have been trying to tell DU all along. The racism is real.

We only need open our eyes.

[still_one]

17. yes it exists, but I cannot believe that the vast majority of Sanders supporters fit into that

category.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

18. I don't believe it either, but it exists. Let's stop covering our eyes. Open them and see!

The small minority is the most vocal and get the most airtime. That should be disconcerting to all of us.

[Cooley Hurd]

7. They were...

[La Lioness Priyanka]

10. really? because i heard a minute of Bernie chants as Paul Booth is speaking

but nothing like NO TPP chants over Cummings

[Cooley Hurd]

13. They aren't yelling over Ben Jealous...

[still_one]

19. you noticed that too. The good news is that Ben Jealous is saying the right stuff

[Cooley Hurd]

22. Kinda crushes the "racism" narrative...

[still_one]

31. Not to be argumentative, but it doesn't. They werelooking at Ben Jealous as a Bernie supporter

[angstlessk]

32. Must hate gays...they didn't take to Barney Frank

ooops he's white

[still_one]

42. I don't buy it. When you are chanting "No TPP" while Elijah Cummings is speaking about civil rights

there is something wrong with that.

[angstlessk]

44. Because he is AGAINST the TPP?

But on Friday, as Democrats debated Rep. Keith Ellison's (D-Minn.) strong anti-TPP plank, Clinton allies and DNC appointees were blunt. To change the language would be to undermine the president.

[still_one]

46. No, because he was talking about civil rights, and his personal struggle

[angstlessk]

48. What does that have to do with the TPP?

[still_one]

49. That is my point, it was plain rudness to try and interrupt his civil rights speech

with something unrelated

I don't think we are on the same context

[angstlessk]

50. I agree...he is important to the Democratic party.

[Metric System]

30. CNN showed a couple of white women booing with anti-Hillary signs when he mentioned unity. Ugh.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

8. We all know why. People simply will not admit it. Watch how they treat Michelle Obama.

[mshasta]

15. They better not fk with the first lady..

[still_one]

21. They had better not.

[uponit7771]

24. That will be the tell tale right there... on the real

[Starry Messenger]

27. I will chew ass.

[still_one]

23. That is bad, but very good

[Tal Vez]

14. If you look at them, you'll see that they are for the most part white KIDS. Civil Rights is

just a few paragraphs in their history books, like the Spanish American War. They don't seem to have any feeling for what it is like grow up as a minority in America. I'm not sure that their ignorance is their fault. They were born when they were born.

[still_one]

25. Obviously they missed that chapter

[Person 2713]

37. Trump will not affect their clueless lives much. Plus remember he loves the uneducated that includes

these types of boobs who may help him win.

[Tal Vez]

41. If Trump wins, we will all get a lesson in the need for civil liberties. He won't put up with

shouting once he is President.

[Warren DeMontague]

20. Maybe because bernie texted them to cut the shit?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

26. he did this before the cummings speech happened. nt

[Warren DeMontague]

28. Ok, well, hopefully they're done.

[Warren DeMontague]

33. Well, what are we going to do now?

I mean, we can keep fighting, I guess.

[geek tragedy]

35. people in Philly get paid the big bucks to handle this kind of situation

hopefully the fart-in will prove too enticing to resist

[Warren DeMontague]

36. Truly a watershed in the history of civil disobedience.

[geek tragedy]

39. nothing civil about it nt

[Warren DeMontague]

40. the fart in?

I can't imagine that was a serious idea, but what the fuck do I know.

[geek tragedy]

43. a thing doesn't need to be serious to be real.

Example A: Donald Trump's presidential candidacy

[wildeyed]

34. Some people don't learn, I guess.

That was unbelievably rude and insensitive. I guess I wanted to believe they got it all out of their systems during the primary, but I guess not.

[Warren DeMontague]

38. I'm just sort of hoping they're done, now.

It was inappropriate and rude, I agree.

[wildeyed]

47. Thanks.

I hope Bernie Sanders' message soaks in for them and they settle down now. Fingers crossed....

[chascarrillo]

45. Maybe because, unlike Cummings, they didn't vote for TPP?

That's my guess.

[liberalmuse]

51. Right in our own fucking party.

Elitist white assholes who are also racists. Right. In. Our. Own. Party.

[Matt_in_STL]

52. Cummings was in charge of the platform committee

The committee refused to put an opposition to TPP on the platform. This makes perfect sense that he is taking the heat for it.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

53. no, it doesn't make sense to yell over a civil rights hero

Thank god Sanders reigned in these racist fuckwits.
