of course Viola Liuzzo was among some brave souls murdered by the occupation army of the time. It does matter and is noted as an ultimate sacrifice in doing what was right. Still is, yet today it is still happening to POC in large numbers that can't be minimized or diminished by actions that happened 45-50 years ago. Yes it's going to take us all, BUT, yet again I ask, why have enough of "all" of us NOT stood up in the last 45-50 years in numbers enough to let the PTB all of "we the people" want to see an end to POC being murdered, having their voting and civil rights abrogated by a racist RW SCOTUS and local racists in many state of the union? Enough have stood up for LBGT rights to change the law of the land, yet no law is strong enough to create proper policing techniques, proper psychological training for police, proper screening for the thugs comprising the occupation armies patrolling minority and other communities and on and on. SCOTUS appointments in the next administration is of prime importance and a priority concern after this upcoming GE.

It's all been spelled out in the last week or so since NN and #Black Lives Matter.

ON EDIT: after what sanders supporters have done to a few POC, here, Bravenak, most recently, a very special person, people who have concerns about sanders and voiced them and are now being hidden, banned and otherwise subject to the white privilege of whiny little children who can't stand truth, every positive word concerning sanders is TOTALLY rescinded ..

(This>>>>true-RESCINDED AFFIRMATIONS>>>.THIS>>>Sen. Sanders, so far in my book, is coming closest to being the one to address these questions straight forward, no BS. THIS>>>>>TRUE In the next 16 months, we better get our shit together to field the best candidate for POC rights and the rights of all americans or all americans especially the POC and poor will be thrown under the fascist racist train of the RW to be crushed, mutilated and discarded like so much human garbage. And the many poor who will be voting against their best interest only because of racist fear agitated by the media, won't be able to blame POC anymore, although I'm sure they and the Moonie media will try. IT WILL TAKE ALL OF US with critical thinking skills and a conscience to turn back the fascists. TRUE>>> BS supporters of sanders here don't appreciate POC, these words have also been rescinded because the sanders supporters keep telling POC here to STFU when they raise concerns about sanders priorities.

ON EDIT###<<<every positive word on sanders here is hereby rescinded-rescinded and my friends are reading this also. I am sending them here to see how POC are treated by sanders supporters...this nixonesque-atwater strategy to put black people in their place WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO PASS. #Black Lives Matter, even here people don't believe that.

Nice. His record was never in question. bravenak Jul 2015 #1
People are people. When people are under attack, they lash back. To err is to be human. mmonk Jul 2015 #2
Um. They were attacking people who have no idea who they are. bravenak Jul 2015 #3
Still the same. When people are mocked, they get mad. They get defensive. They err. mmonk Jul 2015 #4
So why are they still at it? bravenak Jul 2015 #6
It didn't start out as an attack on Sanders but as a plea artislife Jul 2015 #66

To Dr. King, it mattered. mmonk Jul 2015 #8
It does not do anything for us today to save our children. That's why. bravenak Jul 2015 #12
I just said, it is about now and having action, now. mmonk Jul 2015 #14

It's not about the greatness of a white man. mmonk Jul 2015 #10
I agree with that and think it is an unfair. NCTraveler Jul 2015 #19
Well, I tried for dialogue but the meme will still run it seems. mmonk Jul 2015 #15
Your OP doesn't read like a try for dialogue. It reads as "This is the way it is, accept it". stevenleser Jul 2015 #16
I see the same. bravenak Jul 2015 #17
No attempt will be acceptable. mmonk Jul 2015 #42
Not true. Erich Bloodaxe BSN has done an excellent job, several other Bernie supporters have as well stevenleser Jul 2015 #49
The meme itself and its affects. mmonk Jul 2015 #50
I'm with you on that...I thought that's what this thread was about. nt haikugal Jul 2015 #53
I see a couple of very thoughtful replies. NCTraveler Jul 2015 #22
I agree. The meme is what I'm talking about. mmonk Jul 2015 #38
Bernie does not need 'defended'. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Jul 2015 #28

I agree he can defend himself. mmonk Jul 2015 #39
Well what they are telling you is don't try. zeemike Jul 2015 #44
What they are telling you is the same if you were doing it to women or LGBT or any other group stevenleser Jul 2015 #51
So conversation=telling them. zeemike Jul 2015 #56
No, it's not. nt stevenleser Jul 2015 #59
poor you...somebody doesn't like you luvspeas Jul 2015 #55
What condescending bullshit. zeemike Jul 2015 #57
you wouldn't find it if you quit posting inflammatory garbage... luvspeas Jul 2015 #61
There is nothing I can say to you that will not be construed as inflammatory zeemike Jul 2015 #63
well, take it for what it is... luvspeas Jul 2015 #64
Well again my point is proven. zeemike Jul 2015 #67
I said you transparent like a little deep sea worm not you yourself was a worm...read. luvspeas Jul 2015 #68
See what I mean, it only gets worse, never better. zeemike Jul 2015 #69
by using something as an example of what not to use you are only proving yourself to be insincere... luvspeas Jul 2015 #70
So your comparison is OK then. zeemike Jul 2015 #71
isn't the support he's demonstrated over the years the least we should expect bigtree Jul 2015 #20
You're SUPPOSED to do that. Exactly. Reminds me of this skit from Chris Rock stevenleser Jul 2015 #23
None of it's unconscienable. mmonk Jul 2015 #41
you make sense to me bigtree Jul 2015 #45

No one is saying that. mmonk Jul 2015 #62
K&R! darkangel218 Jul 2015 #31
Bernie seems like a real person. Not so much the politician as the others. jalan48 Jul 2015 #43
His problem is he isn't groomed from a political perspective. mmonk Jul 2015 #47
So he has to become more phoney to be more believable? jalan48 Jul 2015 #48
Certainly not for informed people. mmonk Jul 2015 #54
