Re: Black Lives Matter leader orders whites to the back of DNC march
Does one crazy activist characterize an entire movement?
I think not. It's a smear
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

How is it a smear? What is false or misleading about the story? Reporting something that actually happened is not a smear.
Should they not have reported what the activist did?

You were inviting people to judge another group by their worst example.

If ONE PERSONS actions defined an entire community then we ALL are in trouble !
It can and does, however, make salacious headlines. AND headlines sell papers !

Good point. What's your take on the story or what conclusions do you draw from it?

Thanks for asking Fred.
My take is that the woman who made those comments seems to clearly be a racist. Telling white people to go to the back of the parade and take "their rightful place". In times like this, we need people to be inclusive, not divisive.
I don't think this lady acting like this means all BLM activists are racist, just like all Republicans aren't racist and xenophobes because of things Trump says and does

George W Bush
That is one of the finest phrases to be spoken by a President or ex-President in too many decades....probably the best since JFK's "Ask not what your country can do for you...."
It is also one of the finest explanation's of the Eighth Commandment since Luther's Larger Catechism in the 16th Century.
