Between Trump on the right shaking the GOP establishment boat, and the #blacklivesmatter SJW lunatics turning on and attacking the left... this could be a very interesting election cycle.
Why are these people picking on Bernie? He is one of the few politicians who cares about their so called cause.
The Black Lives Matter morons hijack an event and then call the audience "white supremacist liberals”? I'm sure that behavior will win supporters.....
They pick on Bernie and his supporters because they can. They're soft targets. Three black people intimidating a crowd of thousands of whites and stopping their presidential candidate from speaking. What a rush that must have been for them.
The brunch protestors are not violent and they aren't doing anything to harm anyone so I don't see them as some sort of aggressive BLM wing. And FWIW, I know that out west they have a manifesto and everything. I'm glad that young people aren't afraid to go out and protest creatively.
Why protest brunch? Why not rally outside a court house, a state capitol...hell, why not the HQ of the Fraternal Order of Police, the people who PAY FOR THE LAWYERS of every killer cop who gets caught?
This is doing nothing but making BLM and black people as a whole look bad.
For those who remember, during a 2008 GOP debate, there was a veteran who came out asking about Don't ask, Don't tell. Well, he turned out to be a Hillary Clinton Plant:
Now we have "Black Lives Matter" protestors showing up at Bernie Sanders events...and only Bernie Sanders events. They are NOT showing up at any GOP candidate event, or at Hillary rallies. Why only Bernie? My guess is those who show up trolling Senator Sanders are paid for by the Hillary campaign, as she has a history of doing stuff like this and Bernie is the only Democrat to gain any traction against her.
I am not a Sanders supporter myself and don't have a dog in this fight, as I am 100% standing with Rand, but I know BS when I smell it.
The answer to your primary question is simple. Because you are perceived as supporting politics that are at least sideways from nominally democratic Black racial politics. That's it. All effective politics are racial, for better or worse, and you are not supporting the dysfunctional communist political strategy of the majority of African Americans or brain-washed Whites. Thus, they hate you and will rather accurately be prone to shaming you on the primary issue: race.
Though, I'm not sure how you can avow your politics and hold that the War on Drugs is racial. Just because a racial political group is prosecuted more under Drug Laws, because of their greater participation in illegal activity in a manner that often gets them caught, does not make the policy racist. It only means that there is identifiable difference in behavior between groups.
