DNC approves Black Lives Matter presidential town hall.
'The Black Lives Matter movement seemingly has more clout with the Democratic National Committee than Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, former Virginia Sen. Jim Webb and former Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s political opponents may not have been able to secure more debates for the 2016 presidential primaries, but the DNC has agreed to a town hall discussion hosted by the #BlackLivesMatter network and Campaign Zero activists.
“We believe that your organization would be an ideal host for a presidential candidate forum – where all of the Democratic candidates can showcase their ideas and policy positions that will expand opportunity for all, strengthen the middle class and address racism in America,” DNC CEO Amy K. Dacey said Wednesday in a letter to movement’s leaders, the Washington Post reported.
The ball is now in their court.
Black Lives Matter organizer Elle Hearns said the DNC’s decision not to host an additional debate on racial themes, after a request was made Tuesday, was disappointing.
“Their response to our request is unsatisfactory. Debbie Wasserman Schultz should be more mindful of her responsibility not only to the DNC, but to the American people,” Hearns told the newspaper.
Activist DeRay Mckesson said Wednesday he is working to secure commitments from all presidential candidates to attend a town hall, the Post reported. He will also attempt coordinate a similar effort with the Republican National Committee.
“We want to bring together all of the candidates, not focused on either political party, to have a conversation centered on race and criminal justice,” Mckesson said.

And when certain folks high fived Ben FREAKING Carson for dissing BLM in the most dishonest, ignorant and craven ways possible??
And isn't it just precious and adorable that the same folks who said these sorts of things are now racing around DU talking about how they don't "feel comfortable" in the AA forum???
Who'd have thunk it????? 
They are being oppressed! 
By the few blacks that remain.
All fifteen of us have them hostage!! 
Why are they still here? Stockholm Syndrome? I have it so maybe they are unwell with SS too.
PROOF that DNC is IN THE TANK with Republicans and that the BLM movement is merely a shill for the oligarchy! 
The WND link was mind-numbingly scary.
