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.”
Democrats have been using blacks like chattel at least since the Civil Rights Act of 1964 fooled them into abandoning the party of Lincoln and bonding with the party of the Ku Klux Klan.
So they stay right where they are, at the bottom of the social order, poor, willfully uneducated, unemployable (any place beside the fast food industry) and hopeless, depending on public assistance to feed their children.
It's a pity.
Wow, strange world, competing socialist parties vying for control for a republic.
That IQ bell curve at work.
Blacks are starting to wake up—even one of their own—Obama , betrayed them—In his heart you know he’s white.
Republicans rarely go deep into black neighborhoods out of fear I would imagine. I have always said Republicans allowed Democrats to re-write their history with civil rights for black population.
Where are the voices of the Black Republican organization?
With BLM so heated up everywhere, I would imagine it would be a nightmare for Trump to go into those areas.
Trump had an opportunity to speak to Black and Hispanic National reporters and he declined to speak. Hillary didn’t.
Black Lives Matter Leader Slams the Clintons: They Just Use Us For Votes, Photo Ops>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
You mean that BLM members are waking up? Are they actually starting to get it?
The Clintons have done more to limit the population of African Americans than anyone else, through the mass killing of black babies in the womb.
HOORAY Black Lives Matter BUMP!
(collective waking up ALERT)
WOOOOHOOOOO!
Exactly. Trump has cred BUMP!
HOORAY Trump
Just do it.
Dang, can’t hide anything from YOU, Garza! Took ya a few weeks to figure it all out, but hey, you got there in the end, dint ya?
"I'll have them niggers votin' democrat for the next hundred years!"
And it worked.
While she’s right about the Clintons, Alicia Garza is dumb as a box of rocks. She is guided solely by her emotions not whatever brain she may have.
