"BlackLivesMatter co-founder warns presidential candidates: ‘We will shut down every single debate."
Arturo Garcia RAWSTORY
It's a short piece that speaks for it'self. Please take the time to read it so you will know what you are actually commenting on. I will just say that shutting down debate and calling for dialogue seem mutually contradictory and leave it at that. Maybe he was taken out of context.
Cullors told This Week host L. Joy Williams that she felt neither O’Malley nor Sanders were “humble enough” during their town hall appearance, and called on presidential candidates to be willing to openly discuss issues of race and gender. Emphasis added.
“No more skirting around the issues,” Cullor said. “We will shut down every single debate.”
And this is how it's being used. A Facebook Post to Thurston County for Bernie Sanders 2016.

I have been hesitant to express support for Bernie Sanders, and this article speaks to many of the reasons. I hope that Bernie Sanders and his supports take the time to read up on these concerns and consider how their platform can more clearly support the #BlackLivesMatter movement rather than taking black votes for granted.
Very interesting.
