2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Ring of Fire Radio: #BlackLivesMatter Leadership Wants Progressives and Bernie Destroyed, Read This [View all]A Simple Game
(9,214 posts)18. This explains some posts on DU that had me puzzled and one in particular that
was in response to my invoking Kings name. I didn't continue the conversation because I was a little harsh to the poster when they suggested that polite discussions got nowhere so I just let the conversation drop.
But there were at least two other posts that mentioned lesbians and particularly black lesbians that I thought were going off on a tangent for no apparent reason.
I always thought that BLM was the wrong approach to begin with because it is exclusive and not inclusive like all the rest of the civil rights movements. Almost like they don't want to be a part of the whole. It all fits in with the above article.

It was disturbing to read they don't want help from other POC or White (Progressives)

Yes...I didn't make it clear enough about the good that came out of the 60's Movement...

It's like they decided to embody the entire stereotype that BLM correctly pointed out.
