[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there are two potential issues:
1. There's an implied accusation that they wouldn't support antisemitism.
2. She's centering herself when right now we're supposed to raising and centering black voices.[/quote]

I think point 2 is the issue. Time and place. [/quote]

Fine. If you think that is what she is doing, criticize her for that. Don't issue statements saying that she is being transactional when she clearly wasn't.

That's your opinion. Other's obviously took it differently. And they're just as entitled to their opinion, and to express that opinion. [/quote]

So now we are treating tweets like they are ancient Greek texts subject to various interpretations? Read her tweet. Where does she state a quid pro quo?

As they say, you are entitled to your own opinion. You are not entitled to your own facts.

What are you looking for here? Do you want to understand the other perspective? Or do you just want submission to your point of view? Contrition?

People saw it differently than you do. And they took issue with what was insinuated even if not explicitly stated. [/quote]

I am interested in not having a movement that I support hindered by unnecessary infighting. Silverman is probably the best ally BLM could have on the Council. Do you really think the likes of Brandon Todd are going to support the type of police reforms BLM is seeking?

Please explain to me what upset you about Silverman's tweet and what you want her to do about it? Are you standing with Todd and McDuiffie or do you think their statements are misplaced and unhelpful?
