For #BlackLives Matter, White Progressives Are Still White Supremacists

Race hatred, i.e., hatred of white people, is at the core of #BlackLivesMatter.

At Twitchy, "White progressives trying to help minorities #FeelTheBern put in their place with #NotAnAlly hashtag." (Via Michelle Malkin, "This is what it looks like when the IED of left-wing identity politics blows up in white progressives'.")

And from black activist Dominique Hazzard, on Facebook:
Folks are asking “What about Hillary?

1) Some people, like me, actually like *Bernie Sanders* and want to vote for him for President. But the Bernie that’s been on display for months just won’t do. We a better Bernie and that’s why we push.

2) Sure, Hillary is a very strategic target. (In general, not for this tactic cause she got the ill security).

But….. WHY would Hillary feel the need to be a better advocate for ending structural racism and white supremacy when Bernie Sanders, her MORE RADICAL opponent, can get away with a) cancelling meetings with black freedom movement organizers b) explicitly stating that the focus of his campaign is seniors and poor white people, as if black votes and lives don’t matter c) deflecting questions about racism and turning them into answers about socio-economic class at every turn d) not publicly releasing a racial justice platform???? If I were her, I sure wouldn’t feel the need to out-radical my radical opponent. Not at all.
