“Obviously they’re being taken out of context,” Boynton Brown said of the reporting on her comments Tuesday. “What I was answering to was an internal party conversation around being in alignment with our values and words.”

Obviously the folks standing right behind you when you said it took you out of context, too.

She added: “I think that this is the issue we see with fake news. These media outlets take something completely out of context and sensationalize it, and now people across the country are sending me hate mail and thinking I’m saying something that’s not true.”

Right or wrong, it's irritating, isn't it?

#3 “And the DNC needs to be making sure that we’re training people on how to listen to our brothers and sisters of color who are sharing their life experience with us.”

Please keep doing that.

Meanwhile, President Trump will continue to listen to our brothers and sisters of ALL colors who are sharing their life experiences with him.

#6 How long before phones and other recording devices are banned at any sort of lefty speech/discussion/meeting.

That's gotta be easier than trying to curtail their insane thoughts.

#7 Sally Boynton Brown's egregious rant was 4 min. long.
The video and the "quote" cited in the article cut off and omitted the last minute of the rant.

Her dramatic and radically racist spiel concluded with:

We pull people in and they are volunteers. They don’t know anything and then we send them out to have conversations with people, hard conversations. We promote them to chair of a party where they have power and they have no clue what they are doing. We have to, at the DNC, provide training. We have to teach them how to communicate, how to be sensitive and how to shut their mouths if they are white. So I think I made my point.

I think the only point you made Sally, is that any future political aspirations you may have envisioned for yourself, are now laughably nonexistent.

#8 “We’ll See”

Once upon a time, there was an old farmer who had worked his crops for many years.

One day his horse ran away. Upon hearing the news, his neighbors came to visit. “Such bad luck,” they said sympathetically, “you must be so sad.”

“We’ll see,” the farmer replied.

The next morning the horse returned, bringing with it two other wild horses.

“How wonderful,” the neighbors exclaimed! “Not only did your horse return, but you received two more. What great fortune you have!”

“We’ll see,” answered the farmer.

The following day, his son tried to ride one of the untamed horses, was thrown, and broke his leg. The neighbors again came to offer their sympathy on his misfortune. “Now your son cannot help you with your farming,” they said. “What terrible luck you have!”

“We’ll see,” replied the old farmer.

The following week, military officials came to the village to conscript young men into the army. Seeing that the son’s leg was broken, they passed him by. The neighbors congratulated the farmer on how well things had turned out. “Such great news. You must be so happy!”

The man smiled to himself and said once again.

“We’ll see,”
