What an a$$head.
Black people are, like all people, extremely diverse. Then along comes Patrisse Cullors who acts like she is an entire race's spokesperson on who an entire diverse group will vote for. Then, to boot, she vows to shut down the democratic process every chance she gets.

Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors criticized both Sen. Bernie Sanders and ex-Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley after Saturday’s protest at the Netroots Nation progressive conference.
“He couldn’t take 15 more minutes of the heat,†Cullors said of Sanders in an interview on This Week in Blackness, making reference to the senator ending his appearance as demonstrators at the event walked out en masse.

“No more skirting around the issues,†Cullor said. “We will shut down every single debate.†(brentspeak: The "issues"? You didn't even let him speak)

But following the event, Cullors said Sanders and other presidential hopefuls need to make black communities feel like they are not being “sold something.â€
“If you want our vote, you are going to have to do way more work,†she said.
Black woman presumes to speak for all black people; lily-white DUmmies beg to differ and demand she take a seat in the back of the bus randys1 (8,611 posts)
1. Wow, you sure are pissed at this person.
Who the hell does she think she is!
To the degree that Randy has declared himself Arbiter of all White Intent, I actually believe he isn't being sarcastic.

15. Not uppity. Just arrogant.
Same qualification as any self-appointed spokesperson to come down the pike since the dawn of civilization
With the critical difference being that you DU honkies are actually entitled.

23. She could have had that audience standing and cheering in support of BLM instead
she alienated many/most of them plus the mainstream audience acting in an immature and boorish way.
And you could have gotten off your dumb white ass and done something, but then someone might have taken your Cheetos.

29. She's kind of kid-like
Saw her on Blue Nation; much more charming in person than in print. But I didn't see or hear a leader. BLM will not flourish with her at the helm, imo.
Yeah, those dumb black people need someone who hawks Rolexes from his inherited business office to speak for them.
Man, you DUmmies are completely unmoored.
