Now that I've listened to Democracy Now, and heard the mothers of murdered
young black people talk at the convention, my response is that this was a
cynical use of people who have endured unspeakable tragedy, for Hillary's
benefit. I remember hearing Sandra Bland's mother on Democracy Now after
Hillary had contacted her. Hillary already knew she was running for the
presidential nomination. Perhaps her campaign had begun. I'm not sure. But
it was obvious that she cultivated a relationship with this grief stricken
woman so that she could use her in her campaign. These women were props in a
well planned show. Interestingly, I noted that many of the Sanders
delegates who were interviewed during the first hour of Democracy Now, were
African American. During the campaign, the mass media kept saying that
Bernie wasn't doing well with black people. But he sure had a lot of black
delegates that we never heard about.
