Hillary Clinton squirms awkwardly on stage for 30 minutes as Black Lives Matter protesters shut down speech intended to boost her support from black community
Hillary Clinton was interrupted for 30 minutes by Black Lives Matter protesters on Friday as she tried to give a speech.
The Democratic presidential frontrunner initially tried to reason with the demonstrators but eventually gave up and attempted to awkwardly talk over them.
Clinton was held up for half an hour as the group chanted loudly, refusing to back down as she tried to continue with her speech at a university in Atlanta.

“Does anyone know exactly what they are demanding?”
They appear to have been created, either directly by Obama using his community organizer contacts, or indirectly by his divisive “this could have been my son” comments. This is what a community organizer does. It’s rather like a union boss who uses thugs to intimidate company owners, except he enables pre-existing, free-floating thugs to coalesce around an issue he creates. The problem (or, perhaps its a feature) is that once they are created they can’t be controlled. They won’t stay focused on their mission as each thug tends to have his own agenda. But their intended purpose was to create an army of issue voters, boots on the ground, to rally the black vote for 2016. They have, however, attacked only their allies so far.

Mike Huckabee, second debate
Let me guess, so when she came home that evening she had to tell Huma that she wasn’t really in the mood?
The BLM terrorists want Hillary to grovel in front of them.
Unfortunately doing that would render her toxic in the general election.
She’s caught between the rock of the black community and the hard place of white America.
And she will never get black racist voters to turn out for her in the way they came out for Obama.
“No scissoring tonight Huma, I’m getting the carpet cleaned”.
Exactly. At first blm was about holding individual cops accountable and now they chant: What do we want? Dead cops.
Bubba will give his buddy Georgy “The Felon” Soros a call and all will be well. Someone in the Ghetto didn’t get the message.
Heh heh.
And we want to screw over that white cracka b*tch, Hillary Clinton!
Poor Hillary! She just can’t catch a break.
Oh man please!!!
Trying to eat breakfast here!
But I thought she was Pants Jemima now...
She needs to carry a bag filled with $100 bills and toss them into the air when the gimmedats show up.
This group is just an extension of our community organizer-in-chief's efforts to divide and polarize groups in this country for his own benefit, which is to bring down America. He either is behind this group or, at the least, supports them wholeheartedly.
How in the world do Hilary supporters think this woman (my apologies to the female gender) is going to be able to lead the US when she can't even handle a small group of her own constituents at a campaign rally? She should have had security escort them out or just left herself and "moved on" (ala MoveOn.org).
Attention. It’s all about them. They don’t realize we’re all in the same boat and it’s sinking.
Those blacks are only upset because of a video.
At this point, what difference does it make?
My kitty, Darth-Ann Vader, just told me that #BlackCatsMatter. Hmmm.
What does Black Lives Matter want? A little thing called justice
Part of the article:
Black Lives Matter is challenging candidates to articulate just what they would do to end the shooting deaths of unarmed black people by police. Sanders has responded, giving “racial justice” a prominent spot on the issues agenda on his campaign website.
“We must pursue policies that transform this country into a nation that affirms the value of its people of color,” the website declares. “That starts with addressing the four central types of violence waged against black and brown Americans: physical, political, legal and economic.” It goes on to list policy proposals meant to address each aspect. Whether they pass muster with activists remains to be seen, but clearly Sanders has gotten the message.
Will other candidates get it, especially Republicans?
Notably, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, a GOP candidate, didn’t mince words when asked about the Black Lives Matters movement in a Fox News interview. He acknowledged the disparity of experience with law enforcement between whites and blacks and bemoaned the mistrust between young black men and police. “We do need to face this,” he said, before pitching a solution for a related but essentially different problem: keeping young first-time offenders from being marked with a criminal record for life.
Other GOP candidates have subverted the conversation by missing the point. Asked about Black Lives Matter, Ben Carson launched into a diatribe about black-on-black murder rates and broken homes in the African-American community. Another dodge, articulated by Carly Fiorina, is to blame liberals. “Black lives have been diminished under Democratic policies,” she told Fox News.
The baseline Republican response to the issue is perhaps best seen in the response when Black Lives Matter showed up at a Jeb Bush rally in North Las Vegas, Nev. As activists chanted their signature slogan, they were met by Bush supporters shouting back, “White lives matter.”
In other words, your concerns mean nothing. All those statistics that show unarmed blacks are disproportionately more often killed by police than unarmed whites; all the videos we’ve seen of heedless, unjustified shootings; the evidence that the police department of Ferguson actively oppressed the black population and was tasked with raising revenue for the city government by issuing citations: So what?
Here’s the point: Historically in America, black lives have mattered less. Taking their lives, not to mention their property and their labor, was a white prerogative in the time of slavery and Jim Crow. That is no longer the case, we want to believe, but there seems to be a troubling exception for the police.
