Commentary: Where are all the ‘Black Lives Matter’ activists now? (Louisiana flooding)
WGNO-TV ^ | August 18, 2016

A couple of days ago, a Baton Rouge rapper by the name of “Jiggy Down Tommysocks” (real name- no joke) posted a video on Facebook asking the question, ‘Where are the ‘Black Lives Matter’ or the ‘Black Panther’ boats to help folks in trouble in Louisiana? His point was that we had an influx of people in Baton Rouge to protest, but now that family here need help, these activists have been absent.

And while I rarely get my own political or social viewpoints from hip hop artists, I think Mr. Tommysocks is on to something. In fact, I feel that the horrible destruction of the lives and property in our state, while not as sexy as police brutality or police officers getting murdered, is being largely overlooked by many in our society....

No one cares less about black lives than BLM and other black grievance activists.

They’re just in it for money and power.

Why hasn't Soros cut the people of Louisiana a check?

If even Taylor Swift could do it...

Hey! Where's Sean Penn?

And, seriously: what about the Clinton Global Initiative? Looks like Granny's been caught napping again...

They are too busy burning down American cities with their OWN hands. They are the natural disaster.

Trump is going to Louisiana tomorrow, if I understand correctly. Bringing in food, toiletries, and blankets for local centers looking after people.

“Activists” flew in from around the country to protest, get arrested, and then sue the City of Baton Rouge because they weren’t allowed to block the streets and highways with impunity.

Where are they now?

How much money have they raised to help? Have they helped the black folks get back in their homes?

It’s good to see Democrat voters get out and sail the waters once in a while.

If cops aren’t killing a thug, then there is no reason to protest. Besides, most of these welfare leaches haven’t raised a finger to do anything for their fellow man ever. Why expect them to do so now?
