Black Lives Matter skipping 2016 endorsement

But I also think that there’s a way to go about things, and there’s a way to do things.

The D.C. native spoke out in defense of Black Lives Matter in an interview with REVOLT, but he wasn’t shy to turn the tables.

Tracing its roots to the fatal 2012 shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Florida, the Black Lives Matter movement gained national ground after 18-year-old Michael Brown was shot and killed by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri.

The Black Lives Matter network will not make a presidential endorsement but will keep up its political activism by confronting candidates about the treatment of African-Americans in the United States.

Throughout the past year , Black Lives Matter has expanded from a hashtag to a full-fledged movement, but could the focus be misplaced?

Drew got heated on his show Thursday night and threatened to air test patterns in lieu of continuing after an audience member began shouting over a guest who criticized the Black Lives Matter movement. “I think a lot of times people just don’t understand the movement or things that are going on, and it’s all about education and things like that too”.

Well, we had a conversation about it. His opinion is different from mine.

“I don’t really care about trying to rally up people for the wrong reasons”, Wale added.

“Sometimes you have to put a wrench in the gears to get people to listen”, she said. This is a lot of social injustice that’s been going on for a while.

One of my favorite people that I read about all the time is Dick Gregory.

In the case of my brother who was murdered outside in front of people he grew up with not only could the police not guarantee the safety if anyone have pointed out the killer they were all so quick to let me and my father know that even though we knew who the killer was they were watching us in case we decided to retaliate. I go back checking out his books, and you see what’s going on within the community and the world. “Those two people never would have been in any space together before where they could have had that exchange and to see that on one of the wildest nights in St. Louis City is something that I will never forget”. But not in the sense that he’s saying we need to be as upset at black on black crime as we are at blue on black crime, but that there needs to be a better sense of morale in our community and that we can only worry about what we can worry about.
