Clinton faces protests as she courts black votersAssociated Press By STEVE PEOPLES and BILL BARROW
5 hours ago
The Democratic presidential front-runner outlined her plans for criminal justice reform a key component of her push to court African-American voters facing what was supposed to be a friendly audience at Clark Atlanta University, a historically black institution. Yet just a few minutes into her remarks she was interrupted by protesters from the Black Lives Matters movement.
They sang and chanted for nearly 12 minutes several feet from the podium as Clinton tried to shout over them. Rep. John Lewis, a hero in the civil rights movement, urged them to stop, as did the musician Usher.

(14,177 posts)Goes without saying. We live in an oligarchic patriarchy. Even women use sexist terms against each other. I am okay with people shouting though it shows a certain kind of passion. I like when Hillary shouts even if it is about gun control a subject that leaves me a little cold. The shouting will not solve the problem but it shows a certain level of caring. Maybe we all need to shout and listen to the shouting more. Maybe we just need to listen more period. Let people shout then discuss the issues rationally after people get that out of their system.
