Black Lives Matter Protestors Crash Hillary Clinton's HBCU Rally! Vid~& a Message from Serena~



Good on #BLM and Hillary's Message for all of us!

snip//

As the former Secretary of State began to speak, a group of eight protesters entered between Clinton and the crowd, clapping their hands and chanting.

Clinton was expected to call for legislation banning racial profiling by law enforcement, and she attempted to shout over the protesters saying, “My friends, I’m going to get to some very important points, that black lives do matter,” to the cheers of the crowd.

The protesters were soon drowned out by the predominately black audience — who came to hear her speak — with chants of “Hillary. Hillary.”

Congressman and civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) also attempted to ask the protesters to allow Clinton to speak.

Some on stage were chanting "Let her speak!" but most were saying, "Hillary! Hillary! Hillary!"

Black lives do matter, and we should never be allowed to forget - not even for a second. But I have to say, Hillary Clinton handled this beautifully! A true statesman who quieted her agitated supporters and listened to the #BlackLivesMatter guests!

So different when #BLM protested BS.. too many of his supporters hit Twitter and the net to diss them and I am happy they were there as I know most of us are. It was great!

What ppl are failing to grasp is that she actually attempted to talk to them rather than march off in a huff & cancel their meetings with them. The optics are very contrasted & sent a huge message.
