Nope, you never answered the question. Social media has been around for decades and all this BLM outrage has not. The outrage was there in the 60s when there was no technology at all. So tell me again how social media is responsible, when there was none in the 60s.

You're not even making sense.
You have been to a computer lab on campus haven't you? In the early 90's every college has computer labs just like they do today.
Oh and it's flat out wrong to say people didn't have personal computers back then I had a personal computer in the 80's. And we weren't rich.
So where was the outrage back then? You are still avoiding the question.   Well geez. I'm sure being able to reach anywhere from 50 to 80% of the population has an affect on how many people come out to support a cause. Why are you trying to argue usage rates don't matter? It seems pretty nonsensical.

but where's the outrage in the 90's bro!!! where!!!!
that's why me and rocket constantly refer to them using logical fallacies.
i love english courses by the way.
Eve is using the one called affirming the consequent.
if B happens, then A will happen next.
A happened, therefore B MUST have happened.
not taking into account all the other factors that go into it.
a colorful example would be.
if a Dog poops, there will be poop on the ground.
there's poop on the ground, therefor, a dog must have pooped.
even though it could've been some other animals poop.

Social Media is not the main responsible reason for today's black outrage, like swish asserts. Social media has been around for decades and it hasn't been this bad. There was no social media in the 60s, but there was plenty of outrage. It's really not social media's fault.

Police Brutality + No way to communicate the problem = No Problem Police Brutality + Social Media, a way to communicate the problem = Problem.
Communication under Obama looks nothing like it did under Bush. If you think differently then look at either your laptop, phone, iPad, tablet or anything else with a screen.
It's like saying that Southern Black Churches didn't make a difference in the 60's because they were there in the 30's and didn't do anything.

Blacks clearly have had no problems communicating with each other throughout history when there has been no technology. Blacks in the 60s would disagree with you that there were no problems because they couldn't communicate.

So why is everybody in the streets, marching and begging that their lives matter?
Man I hope that ain't the change you speak of.
To me its sad. that has nothing to do with obama and everything to do with the explosion of social media. So why is everybody in the streets, marching and begging that their lives matter?

Disappointed in the final margin, sure, but she knows that she is heading from unfriendly, almost entirely Caucasian territory to friendlier, more racially diverse states. Now if Sanders manages to win a sizable percentage of the Black and Hispanic vote, then Hillary will know it's over ...... but right now, she has every reason to be optimistic, despite taking a real pasting in New Hampshire. (which is also "home" territory for Sanders)

New Hampshire is Bernie's "home" territory how? New Hampshire's entire political establishment endorsed Hillary. Hardly sounds like home turf. I know this has gotten to be quite the term, but it feels more like Clinton backers pushing this thought into reality. Clinton just can't connect to white voters anymore. She even lost the women's demographic. Bernie had 55% of the votes from women. However, apparently, him and his supporters are sexists and are just a bunch of males. Again, more Clinton attacks that the media picked up, that are just untrue in their entirety. No one is safe from Clinton's lies.

This is even funnier, because these guys were on the stage, right behind Hillary, and no one said a word to them ..... http://thefederalist.com/2016/02/09/chec...campaign-event/ Several members of the audience at a New Hampshire campaign event for Hillary Clinton sported some creative t-shirts, and they made sure TV cameras could capture their t-shirts while Hillary spoke. At least two men wore ‘Settle For Hillary’ t-shirts that utilized the official logo and font of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. Jeff Bechdel, the communications director for America Rising, a Republican PAC focused on conducting and distributing opposition research, posted a television screenshot of the t-shirts on Monday night. Bechdel screencapped ABC News footage of Hillary’s event and posted a picture on Twitter: Jeff Bechdel @jeets People behind @HillaryClinton wearing "Settle For Hillary" shirts at her event in Hudson, NH... ouch. #nhpolitics 8:59 PM - 8 Feb 2016 703 703 Retweets 614 614 likes It wasn’t just one person wearing the provocative t-shirt, though. CNN cameras captured another man wearing the same ‘Settle For Hillary’ t-shirt elsewhere in the audience. New Hampshire voters go to the poll’s today as part of the country’s first presidential primary election. Hillary Clinton, who just barely eked out a delegate lead in last week’s Iowa caucus, badly trails Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in pre-election polling in New Hampshire. The most recent Real Clear Politics average of New Hampshire primary polls shows Sanders with a 13-point lead in the state. I was totally unaware of that as I just can't listen to that witch speak, but when I read it and saw that dude's shirt - I literally had people walking into my office wanting in on the joke because I was LOL'ing.

She still connects because she gives lip service to social issues, but doens't fully explain how her economic policy will continue to benefit her donors but no one else.
Sanders gets lost due to not breaking down his giant oligarchy message into terms for all Americans to truly grasp. The college educated eat it up, but he needs to simplify his message to reach all Americans.

Super Delegates are political insiders that can back who they want and their choice counts as a delegate vote. In total Clinton has like 360 and Bernie has 8 Super Delegates. BUT they can switch sides if they want before the DNC Convention.

Hillary's support from Black People is being infringed upon by socialism. Ta-Nehisi Coates said he'll be voting for Sanders today. Coates is a highly respected journalist for The Atlantic. Prominent African-American voices are seeing Hillary for what she is. A farce.
I think if Hillary keeps going negative at Bernie she'll lose this election. Her closet is much messier than Bernie's. But knowing how HRC runs a campaign, she'll probably keep going negative.

trying to get more minority support.
Bernie has been endorse by Killer Mike, which is a huge deal in the urban community. Killer Mike has turned into a really good activist, and it helped get the word out to people in the hip hop community about who Bernie is.
blacks are slowly starting to steer toward bernie, but hilary still owns it for right now.
