this silly thought for a few days--well since the Hillary -BLM incident and then the video came out the Bernie supporters would be satisfied that blm also talked to Hillary.

But I just realized based on many of the comments --that they are still mad and upset because BLM did not actually interrupt her speech and get pushed and shoved (don't think this actually happened to Bernie as far as I know--he just stepped back and him and the organizers let blm talk (after some arguing and back and forth). BLM had the opportunity not to disrespect her (presumably by not getting up on the stage and talking over).

Yes, I am slow (have chosen to not read a lot of what is in GD-P)--most is so vile and disheartening.

aren't going to spend the next couple of weeks making asses out of ourselves all over the internet because BLM had some harsh words to say to Hillary.Sanders supporters can't unring that bell and they know it.

supporters feelings.

And, Hillary's quite capable of getting told and handling it.

Especially the ones who somehow got the idea it was a plot of some sort--I'll never understand that one.

This will keep the Democratic front runner on her toes regarding the issues of BLM. I want her to stay on top of it and I know she will never apologize and say they are "just another group."

I actually thought they had a good discussion. The activists were very articulate. Hillary listened but held her ground when she disagreed. They weren't fair to blame her for what happened during her husband's administration, but it wasn't contentious...no yelling and screaming. She actually gave them good advice, maybe they will reflect on it and take it.
