So they were unable to learn the Unadulterated and UNBIASED TRUTH from the Twitter!!!

This true fact made voters there more susceptible to mind-control!

I love David Simon's work, but thinking you know Baltimore because you watched The Wire is like thinking you know Denmark because you've seen Hamlet. Baltimore is less poor and less unequal than several white-majority cities (including, I add for absolutely no reason whatsoever, Burlington) but people are invested in the idea of black backwardness.

But did you hear that Ashley Williams did not accept Hillary's apology? This is devastating, yet I can't find anything about it. There seems to be a dearth of information about BLM.

That is only a few times. So that is probably why you haven't seen Michelle Alexander's opinion yet.

Hopefully your OP will encourage others to up the number of daily OP's to half a million so you will finally get to read about her opinion.

white people who want to ignore reality can go to pick up stories, articles, videos etc. that fit their world view and allow them to float blissfully by on a bubble of ignorance.

That "African Americans are FEEEEEELING the BERRRRN!!11" video would be a great addition! And quick links to the Blacks for Bernie Facebook page!

GDP right now.

That bell hooks video a year and half old, it was made before any of the candidates even declared. Does anyone honestly think that looking at the quality of Hillary Clinton's opposition, that hooks would still feel so strident one way or the other?
