The Real Black Lives Matter Wants Activists To Apologize to Bernie Sanders
Thanks! I don't know why Tea Party fools would do this since Sanders is not a credible threat, and they would rather run against Bernie rather than Hillary.

The only candidate who would benefit from this is Hillary Clinton.

Where do you get the impression the Tea Party has anything to do with this?

So sick of hearing that phrase. Theyre making themselves look like buffoons. Shut your mouths, work in the community to STOP violence, educate yourselves, work to make something of yourselves, pull your pants up, and get the eff outta this country if you dont like it.

It was in the article I responded to, but I was saying that it wouldn't make sense for the Tea Party (or other Republicans) to do it.

You are right that it doesn't make sense. That is because it is likely a desperate attempt at deflection.

A quick search turned up this:

I wrote in an above post:
"Huh? There's an "official" membership to a movement that spread through social media and Twitter? Where do I send in my application? What are the requirements? Do they do a background check? What kind of anwers to their questions will be acceptable? When will they start charging membership dues?"

Okay, now I know at least some of the requirements... I guess I could never join the BLM movement because I was once impressed with a Sarah Palin speech.

Seriously, I just read an article calling out this activist and I think they were relieved to find out that one of the women identifies as a "radical Christian" and posted she had a Sarah Palin button. This makes her stunt completely illegitimate.

BLM Activist Who Shut Down Sanders is Radical Christian, Sarah Palin Supporter

So would a rogue BLM activist who does something unsavory get a pass by Patheos.com as long as they are lockstep with their views?

Nevertheless, I'm glad the grownups in the BLM movement are embarrassed by the behavior of these women.

Yeah, she had a Sarah Palin button in high school. Who cares? btw, the co-founder of the BLM came out in support of these two women.

There is an official organization: Black Lives Matter | Not a Moment, a Movement.

You should hear the way black people defend black on black violence."Slavery kept us down" "Segregation kept us down" "Education system kept us down" "A lot of poverty in the black community". As if Tupac's death had anything to do with poverty.

Subconciously, they think they are inferior, they don't want to admit it so they take their anger and frustration out on eachother. A lot of self loathing going on, they hate eachother and they hate themselves.

African Americans are a sad pathetic group, you should pity them.
