Black Lives Matter Activists Shout Down Hillary Clinton At 'African Americans for Hillary' Rally

[portlander23]

Watching BLM makes me wish Occupy Wall Street had put more pressure directly on candidates.

3. I wouldn't make this about a particular candidate

Bernie should continue to be protested as well. This is about the message and taking it seriously.

2. Hahahaha, they weren't part of the Black Lives Matter

movement. But please keep shilling out your talking points.

Hillary handled it perfectly. At least she didn't run away in a huff & cancel her appointments with them until her crew could figure out her talking points. Unlike some who shall remain nameless.

5. No, she talked over them condescendingly, and said nothing as police escorted them out

6. John Lewis & Usher handled it actually.

That doesn't negate the fact that they weren't part of BLM & trying to disparge that group in the fashion is bullshit. You notice how nobody in the audience started yelling tase them or All Lives Matter? Huge difference between the 2 campaigns.

11. post a link?

10. They made their point (good for them)--yet they continued to make noice so that those

attending the rally could not hear. Protesters are fine--even at rallies in my book but they needed to respect the folks to had some to the rally also.

7. HRC is the anointed candidate of the black establishment.

They are kissing cousins to the white establishment she shills for. It doesn't matter what the protesters are part of. They aren't part of anyone's establishment. If you want to know what Hillary will do for blacks, just look at what Bill did. The only difference between them is I think she's actually farther right than he is.

8. It's always been the problem with our minority

Communities. Our politicians sell us out. I'm sick of it.

9. Or maybe because we see right through the other

one running for what he truly is, all talk & no action. A magic wand or happy thoughts aren't going to get shit done.

[sulphurdunn]

12. I think you need to look at the record

before claiming someone doesn't walk the walk.

15. Lol, I was stating my opinion.

[juxtaposed]

13. post another link?

[giftedgirl77]

14. A link to what?

I was stating an opinion.

[Scootaloo]

16. No, you said you see what sanders truly is, all talk and no action

That's not an opinion, that's a statement of fact. So please. support your facts, show us your proof.

[juxtaposed]

17. u stated that one is all words and no action show your proof or delete your upper post

for being B/S.

18. No, I was stating that it is my opinion as a minority voter

& talking to other minority voters that is our take on him. You can just look at the fact that his coworkers in congress don't want to endorse him. If they wanted to work with him & thought he could pull off all the unicorns & rainbows that he is promising then he would get those endorsements.

Maybe ppl shouldn't assume we are just voting against ourselves & try to see what the real issue is.

19. In my world a lot of minority votes as you state they are, are endorsing Trump?

what you make of that? That's not my opinion just fact.I find no logic in it.

[giftedgirl77]

20. Oh is that so? Then why is it at the last couple of his

rallies have the Hispanics been jumped & assaulted? Just bc you don't like my opinion about Sanders doesn't mean you can throw an asinine strawman in about Trump.

[juxtaposed]

21. no, just you stated that your peers are behind you endorsing hrc.

My peers are looking at trump, and peers are ppl. I work around. 18-30 year old males. This is what they've said in the last couple weeks. socio-economic level is very low with my peers i deal with..

[giftedgirl77]

22. Lol, I'm latina, dating a muslim & live in an all minority neighborhood in the

south with 2 half black son's. Nobody is talking about Trump, other than to call him a giant bigot.

[juxtaposed]

23. LoL! not what I am hearing.. Sad but there is a total disconnect in what is important

[giftedgirl77]

24. Whatever you've got to tell yourself.

[alp227]

25. I wonder why the right doesn't try the same stuff.

Like disrupting "RINO" candidates like Jeb Bush.

26. Except for all your searching apparently you didn't notice they Were NOT BLM.....

That’s not really what happened Friday, though, when activists disrupted an African-Americans For Hillary event in Atlanta with chants of “Black Lives Matter!” and a rendition of Janelle Monae‘s “Hell You Talmbout.” Organized by #AUCShutItDown, a group that isn’t affiliated with BLM, the action was explicitly aimed at shutting down Hillary’s speech, not redirecting or reinforcing any specific policy asks.


Hillary Clinton came to the Atlanta University Center and didn’t necessarily reach out to us and speak to us beforehand…
Really........

?@AUCShutItDown
We aren't affiliated w/ the @Blklivesmatter but are an extension of the broader mvmnt. We protested in the name of safety & protection.
