Republican presidential contender Jeb Bush touched on education, immigration, Iran and the economy during an hourlong town hall at a North Las Vegas community center tonight.
But it wasn't until Jamie Hall got the microphone to ask the last question of the evening before the former Florida governor was forced to address a campaign issue that's been gaining momentum in recent weeks — racial inequality.
"I wanted to ask you about racial injustice, racial inequalities, institutional racism," Hall said, referencing the growing Black Lives Matter movement. "Are you going to be talking to different police departments about training reform? You talk about creating a better education system, but if kids in the neighborhoods are seeing their fathers and brothers and cousins killed, why would they want to go to school and excel?"
Bush called the issue a "serious problem" that's gotten worse in recent years.
"Communities, people no longer trust the basic institutions in our society that they need to trust to make things work," Bush said. "There is racism in America, no one should deny that."
Bush said as president he would work to create a climate of civility and understanding instead of one of despair and isolation that pervades in some communities. He added that he believes education is a key part of the solution.
"A child that is educated, that believes that there are chances of going to college and living a life of purpose and meaning is important," he said.
Following his response, about 20 members of the audience stood up and began chanting "Black Lives Matter" as Bush exited the auditorium.

Another reason Jeb can’t make it.
#SorosMoneyMatters blocked Jeb, not BLM. These folks are being bankrolled by Soros who is supporting Hillary. This is how Hillary wants to win, by causing race riots. All while the FBI is investigating her. Sounds more and more like Adolf Hitler all the time
Lol!
Hairy, dark, Rosie O’Donnell types.
just a cover for what the soros creeps did to Bernie...just a cover to make it seem “random”....

That’s pretty gruesome. Poor Jebbie. </s>
A squad of Alice the Goons or Valkyries wearing helmets with horns and breastplates.
someone needs to be ready and taze the f out of these BLM kooks
Were they the same two heifers who bum rushed Bernie Sanders off the stage in Seattle?
If Obama wanted to beautify America, he’d give them all No! Nos!.
I volunteer.
Jeb should’ve just said that racism is what happens when Democrats are in charge.
To me that question sounded like a plant.
The proper response:
“90% of blacks are killed by other blacks, and almost always by black males between 15 & 35. Black lives matter to cops. They don’t matter to black thugs. We need more cops and fewer thugs, and fewer idiots blaming the cops who are trying to protect the innocent blacks.”
They are hitting the weaklings.
Proper answer - “Black lives do matter so the first thing we need to do is to round up and cage all those Blacks that do most of the killing of Blacks. That will take care of 90% or so of the killing of Blacks and we can then focus on other factors.”
Live by the third worlders and dindus, die by the third worlders and dindus.
