The Bern-outs are ecstatic!
They have their pushback.

"I had a Sarah Palin button on backpack" Who is BLMS's Marissa "Johnson" Jenae?
Last edited Sun Aug 9, 2015, 05:56 PM - Edit history (3)
It's said that if you decide to act above reproach, you had better be above reproach. It seems that Marissa "Johnson" Jenae did not heed this warning. A photo posted by Jenae to her FB page (Linked) in which she stated "This woman has known me since high school, back when I had a Sarah Palin button on backpack....we been thru a lot."
Alone, we can surmise that she may have made a few questionable choices in her youth. OK, she was young, but Palin was a candidate for VP running against the first black president. But when I read down a little further, my benefit of the doubt limit had been reached.
"GOP shoulda groomed me right then...now they gotta see me on the other side *shrugs*"
For real? It's like that? This wasn't 8 years, or even 4 years ago. She posted that last month. So my question is, what kinda grooming would it have taken?
If you're going to accuse white liberals of racism, and target the only presidential candidate, U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders with a 40 year track record of standing up for #BlackLivesMatter you might not want people to know that "I had a Sarah Palin button on my backpack" or admit that the GOP could have "groomed you more". Because now you look disingenuous at best, and an agent provocateur at worse.#FeelTheBern #BlackLivesMatter2Bernie #SarahPalinButtonReally #BLMjoinBernie #NativeAmericanLivesMatter #Ismellcointelpro

Wow, very humbling. I've been here 10 years and this is the first time I have ever made to top of the trending page. I just wish it was for something a little more lighthearted.
Thank you all.

7. This from the link...
"The white liberal differs from the white conservative only in one way. The liberal is more deceitful than the conservative. The liberal is more hypocritical than the conservative. Both want power, but the white liberal is the one who has perfected the art of posing as the Negro’s friend and benefactor, and by winning the friendship and support of the Negro, the white liberal is able to use the Negro as a pawn or tool in this political football game.
Politically the American Negro is nothing but a football, and the white liberals control this mentally dead ball. Through tricks of tokenism and false promises, and they have the willing cooperation of Negro leaders. These leaders sell out our people for just a few crumbs of token recognition and token gains" -MALCOLM X
If you are stanning for Bernie Sanders and are upset that he got shut down but you haven't been putting the same passion behind Black Lives you really need to reevaluate more than your political party.

So who is this person, really. I don't think she's a liberal or progressive...much less a democrat...
Reading more at the link she looks like a faith warrior.
Sounds like she's got you people pegged.

21. I doubt it's the Repukes
They are in meltdown/FUBAR/cluster**** mode because of Trump.
It's clearly a rat****/dirty trick straight out of the Atwater-Rove playbook.
My bet would be the DNC or someone who is closely associated, though not formally with, HRH's campaign.

Trump implosion story line.
Maybe.

16. If she believes that Malcolm X quote after all these years,
she is no friend of Democrats. In fact, she is an enemy.
Calling out Malcolm X as not authentic.
You believe the balls on this ****ing guy?

37. That's a conservative trope
That liberals "gives" African American folks "welfare" to keep black folks dependant on them.

86. Yep. "Keeping black people on the Democratic plantation"...
classic Ingraham, among others.
That's C. L. Bryant, you racist ****.

88. I'm beginning to believe what I thought was not worth considering, that this could be
a Rovian effort to divide the Dem Party to the point where whoever wins the nomination, the infighting will leave so many scars, neither one will get the support of the other as usually happens.
They have been asked why they have not gone after Republicans but have not answered that question. Beginning to see why.
The real movement against Police Brutality is made up of people who protested in Ferguson who then went under the title BLM.
A Sarah Palin fan. She sounds bitter that the Right didn't appreciate her enough and now she's going to show them just how good she is at going after 'White Liberals'.
I hope she doesn't turn people away from the Ferguson protesters. In fact that might even by the goal.

32. I did as well
Whoever is behind this - just managed to throw shade and discourse on Bernie, Hillary and BLM all at the same time and also throw liberal blogs such as DU and DKos into turmoil.

61. Bingo!
I have been thinking the same thing, was actually toying with starting a thread, but you nailed it. I'm guessing that whoever's behind this has very deep pockets and is very high up in the food chain. Don't know if the Kochs &/or their ilk are behind it or not, but they have the most to lose from a Sanders presidency, imo, and I certainly wouldn't put it past them or the Roves of this world.
It's important for all the entities you mentioned to find out who's behind this asap. Obviously, whoever it is has a need to disparage all involved and divide and conquer. If I were Hillary and BLM, I'd disavow this in a New York minute.

43. The disruptor at Netroots was a bit of an interesting character as well
While her social-justice creds can't be criticized, her leadership skills are stained by the fact that she once severely betrayed the trust of an employer.
While working as the business manager for the Arizona Citizens for the Arts/Arizona Action for the Arts in 2007 and 2008, a job she includes in her online résumé, Oso issued checks to herself, made unauthorized withdrawals and made personal charges on the organization's credit card. The theft occurred over the course of a year and totaled about $11,000, court records show.
Oso had walked off the job in May 2008 without explanation "after being counseled about absences and performance-related issues," records state. She was fired after she failed to show up for work for three days, and the embezzlement was apparently discovered soon afterward.
Twenty-seven at the time, Oso confessed to court officials that she used the money to pay rent, make car payments, and "stabilize her financial situation."
She pleaded guilty to one count of felony theft.
Brenda Sperduti, the organization's former executive director, told officials that the arts group, which depends on donations for its survival, "had to win back the trust of donors after this." But Sperduti also asked for leniency for Oso.
Oso was sentenced to three days in jail and two years' probation. She struggled in the past few years to pay off a $11,276 restitution order — to her credit, she finally paid it off entirely last year. After she completed her probation successfully, her felony conviction became a misdemeanor in court files.

Sounds like a typical liberal living off of other people.

71. only when she could be bothered to turn up to work, apparently
welcome to the world of your professional, rent-seeking political activist. They have to do what they do, since no one in their right mind is going to give them an honest job.

I think you meant to say "uppity"

64. One more photo
Look under replies to the BLM re-post, someone shows her links to Outside Agitators 206. That would be Seattle's telephone prefix.
This picture seems intended to inflame. The question is to what purpose. It could be a sincere expression of her feelings. Or something she was "groomed" to say.

45. so who believes she WAS groomed and is now
actually carrying out her mission? Triple win: discredit Bernie, Hillary AND BLM.

68. She is a Republican who is angry about social injustice as it affects black people
Her method is what it is because she has no respect for liberals and doesn't believe in treating them with respect or in cooperating.
She is demanding solutions by bullying....the way that any good Republican would. She wants them to bow down before her #bowdownbernie
It doesn't delegitimize BLM as a whole......but it makes clear that it is foolish to just assume that BLM is a progressive organization.
She is the face of the next generation of the Republican party.
Many 60's radicals turned ultraconservative.......they were only radical in opposition to things that harmed them personally.
