I am deeply suspicious of people posting the article on Obama's criticism of BLM either on DU or on other social media (facebook, twitter etc.)
Obama is black and has suffered from institutionalized racism. He has black kids and black nieces and nephews, and other family. When he criticizes BLM, one can safely assume he is talking about strategies that work and strategies that don't work. He is coming from a place of actual concern.
When non-black people start parroting these concern, one wonders if they are concern trolling. Do you only care about their strategies in as much as in affects your candidate (Bill, Hillary, Bernie, Jeb, Trump etc.)?
It's hard to say if you actually value black lives, or whether you are concern trolling because this movement is inconveniently timed for you.
oh, for fuque's face. Hillary is more black than Barry.

You forgot one.
Thank you for YOUR concern, too, speaking of concern trolling, because Barack's comments are inconvenient to you.

7. But you always try to claim all LGBT for Hillary and you criticize those of us who refuse to agree with her that the Reagans were the AIDS Heroes and your intentions seem suspect as fried **** as well.

9. i know you want to attack me, but at least make sense when you do.
I have never claimed all LGBT are for Hillary. All LGBT aren't even Democrats.

22. Race in this has a much richer history and more salience
Than the mere self indulgence of writers. In my experience and in the literature, everybody claims they are not prejudiced, yet institutionalized racism and interpersonal prejudice seems to continue. People too easily claim that they are not racist at all.
You can legitimately criticize blm or anything else, but I'd like to see how many of these legitimate critics have spent any time or energy trying to create racial justice. If you have not, I have every right to think that you do not really care about the ways racial justice could be achieved, you just do not like blm because it bothers you in some regard.

No, he hasn't. He's benefited from the kind of treatment only the wealthiest people in America enjoy, the kind that normally drives DU to mouth-foaming distraction. Wealthy grandparents and family. Hand held through life and propped up by political connections from the Chicago and DC machines.
If he didn't, why hide his school records and Illinois voting records?

IOW, if you don't like the messenger, "shoot" him/her and dismiss the message. How comfy and convenient! It may be that, but it's also self-destructive.
And the greatly amusing thing about pointing out truths like that is that ........ DU folk hate us messengers so much, they'll ignore - and even deny/denigrate - the truths of our message, :-) .
