Black Lives Matter Leader Slams the Clintons: They Just Use Us For Votes, Photo Ops

Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton may be overwhelmingly winning the black vote (87 percent to 4 percent in the latest Fox News poll), but that doesn’t mean all African Americans think she has their best interests at heart.

In an interview with Bloomberg Businessweek, Alicia Garza, co-founder of Black Lives Matter, didn’t mince words when it came to describing what she thinks about the Clintons.

“After Bill Clinton told black protesters, “You are defending the people who kill the lives you say matter,” you wrote, “My back is tired of being the path to the White House,” Bloomberg’s Josh Eidelson told Garza during the interview.

“I was angry about that for about a month—seriously, like every single day. It’s reprehensible for him to defend the impacts his policies have had on our communities,” she responded. “The Clintons use black people for votes, but then don’t do anything for black communities after they’re elected. They use us for photo ops.”

And while she doesn’t want to see Donald Trump become president, she said the group is not “indebted to” the left. Rather, she stressed that there’s a significant number of issues to be engaged in at the state and local levels.

“We’re going to ­continue to push,” she said. “We’re not indebted to or endeared to the Democratic Party.”

Now BLM leaders are off cozying up to Palestinian terrorists. BLM is a radical left movement of anti-American scumbags.

And they just aren’t in the US.

I do not believe the black community is being used by the democrats..anymore than a hooker is being used by her john.
Sure some are being abused and used but if you don’t want to be use and abuse don’t do it.
A hooker has a choice..she could panhandle for one thing, or even get a legitimate job, rather than sell her body.
Anyhow,its an exchange..you vote for us and we give you “freebies”
Its understood.

No. As I read that; she said that SO FAR the cRATS have done nothing for blpacks; so they’ll keep the pressure on them.

This strukes me as the poster girl image of insanity. Keep doing what you’ve always done, and expect a different/better result.

As Mark Twain would have had one of his characters express it: “We keeps on votin’ fo Massah Bill, and Missah Hellary; an’ shohly sumday dey gwine make ebrything rite fo us heah on da’ plantation.”

The Clintons love black people, as long as they don’t live next to them or have them date their daughter.

As long as blacks vote 90% Dem they will get nothing
from the Dems because they know they own them.
