Clinton & Trump: Two Sides of Same Brutal,Racist Coin

http://www.rawstory.com/2016/04/black-protesters-say-clinton-supporters-roughed-them-up-after-they-disrupted-bills-philly-rally/

"“There was a lot going on in a physical manner. People were approaching Erica and putting their hands on her,” Farmer described. “I didn’t really take it all in, Clinton’s retort, until we started watching more of the video footage from the event, seeing him pointing his finger, getting red in the face, making these wild accusations toward us. I was focusing more on my own safety, and of course Erica’s safety, and what was going on around us in that room.” (...)

“The actual confrontation started when a white lady came up to me and told me that I needed to be ashamed of myself for disrupting the event. You also have black liberals and gatekeepers who are taunting you and going along with the chastisement.”

“There were actually black men standing in front of me as a black woman as if my concerns about police brutality and violence did not impact them as well,” continued Mines.

Farmer disclosed that another African-American person called him a “demon” after the rally had ended. Maines revealed another woman used the word “predators” to describe the two."
