Andrew Breitbart: Death of a Douche
Rollingstone Magazine

But why should it matter? Haven't we heard that Black Lives Matter doesn't discriminate, that white members are welcome too?


BLM does not discriminate and neither did anyone involved in civil rights and/or NAACP.

Founding group
The NAACP was formed partly in response to the continuing horrific practice of lynching and the 1908 race riot in Springfield, the capital of Illinois and resting place of President Abraham Lincoln. Appalled at the violence that was committed against blacks, a group of white liberals that included Mary White Ovington and Oswald Garrison Villard, both the descendants of abolitionists, William English Walling and Dr. Henry Moscowitz issued a call for a meeting to discuss racial justice.
