Change From Within has this very interesting post Interrupting Bernie: Exposing the White Supremacy of the American Left. [The link to the article has been corrected.]

Because here’s the thing – what’s powerful about these interruptions from Black women is less how it has changed the tone of the Democratic campaigns and more about what they have exposed in the White left.

The words of the post are powerful, and I will let you read them.

The service that this article performed that drew my attention to it was the video below on YouTube.

You may never see this on corporate media, and you won’t see this much on the internet. Seeing the video is substantially different from reading brief summaries by the white, corporate press on what happened during the interruption.

I am hoping that many of my readers will have the intellectual curiosity to want to see this for themselves.

Another powerful part of the original article is the display of this poster with Martin Luther King, Jr.’s words.

These are hard words to read, but the test for the white liberals amongst us is to be able to listen to them without getting defensive. Listening is not necessarily agreeing.

Politicus USA has the article Obama Leaves Republicans Reeling After Standing Firm On GOP Death To America Comparison.

The President isn’t backing off of his comments because the Iran deal is a matter of war and peace. Republicans are trying to sink the deal without bothering to read it because they support more war in the Middle East.

The Republican behavior in response to the Iran deal has been the definition of extremism.

President Obama has put up with this behavior from Republicans all through his presidency. The President already knows that he is going to get zero Republican support, so he has nothing to lose by telling the truth about the motives behind their opposition.

I agree with the President on the need to accept this deal he has made with Iran and several other countries,

I hope his similar backing of TPP, which I strongly oppose, doesn’t ruin what credibility he has left. He seems to be as sure about TPP as he is about the Iran deal. I am just as sure that he is wrong about TPP and right about Iran. The trouble is that our disagreement over TPP makes it hard to explain how I can trust him on the Iran deal. The one thing that is constant is that Republicans are for TPP and against the Iran deal. Perhaps that is why I am so sure I am right on both issues.
