They also booed the invocation one night. These spoiled brats should be banned from being delegates in the future.

There is something deeply repulsive watching young white kids booing Cummings and Lewis [View all] La Lioness Priyanka Jul 2016 OP

They don't even know who Cummings and Lewis are. They saw two black men and started booing SummerSnow Jul 2016 #1

As has been referenced many time - the white entitled. tonyt53 Jul 2016 #2

I agree! leftofcool Jul 2016 #3

What about young black kids booing them? David__77 Jul 2016 #4

yes, it is less repulsive. blacks did not oppress themselves. i think it's dumb La Lioness Priyanka Jul 2016 #5

I can understand that perspective. David__77 Jul 2016 #8

Has anyone put forth the premise they are in fact, off limits from criticism? LanternWaste Jul 2016 #16

the words "deeply repulsive" are a pretty strong indicator Chitown Kev Jul 2016 #17

I discount "repulsive" as an indication that X or Y is off-limits to criticism LanternWaste Jul 2016 #22

"repulsive" would actually be closer to "disgusting" (which has a sociological context as well) Chitown Kev Jul 2016 #24

i'm fine with them being criticized, but not with them being disrespected by their own party La Lioness Priyanka Jul 2016 #18

We're in agreement on the timing...and on the optics Chitown Kev Jul 2016 #21
