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.”
But but she ain’t no ways tarred
Hmm.
Could they be waking up?
No. They’ll still fall in line. Talk is cheap.
the Black lives matter movement finally realized this after how long?????
Duh!
Blacks Slam the Clintons: They Just Use Us For Votes, Photo Ops.
There.
Fixed it.
No. They work one day every 1400 and they’re not going to take the chance of a Republican making them get real jobs.
We will win with a HUGE white male vote with a 25 point spread AND te bernouts staying home or voting green
Took you long enough!
WRONG! It's not just the Clinton's - it's the whole corrupt democrat party. Oh, and if Alicia Garza tries to get off the liberal plantation she'll be in for a rude awakening... white liberal elites don't like that kind of stuff...
They may be enemies of the enemy but that doesn’t make us allies or even on the same side. Their problem is that Clinton isn’t far enough left. They do us some service by going after her but thats it.
It’s like a fight between Stalinists and Trotskyites.
And Hillary Clinton says: “Get that woman back on the plantation!”
“We’re not indebted to or endeared to the Democratic Party.”
when your people (is it racist to use that term) routinely give 90+% of your vote to one political party, you create the impression that you are indebted and endeared to that party.
One party takes you for granted. They want your vote on election day and ignore you the rest of the time.
We will win with a HUGE white male vote with a 25 point spread
nope...not with the white beta male college grads around; they’d sooner eat glass than anger their female masters by voting Trump...
“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.”
“However we promise to vote for you again in November” she added.
For Trump to win, he needs to go into black neighborhoods and explain that all the years of supporting the Democrat party has brought them nothing but misery. If there ever was a time for a GOP candidate to get a larger than normal share of the black vote, this would be the time. They are not happy.
Is Trump even doing this? His rally in Green Bay should have been held in Milwaukee.
It’s about time the GOP fights for the black vote. Get 15% to 20% and he wins big.
Come on does anyone believe they had a revelation? They want something... more of something.. continued or more power and/or exposure..that is why they are putting a little public pressure on Adolf Hillary by sounding jilted.
She will meet with them and they will make a deal (to funnel money to their organization (or the leaders of the org,anyhow) behind the scenes...of course, they will never say what the deal actually was..but they will both claim it was amicable or some such.
Bill Clinton was right about that, it happens sometimes.
BLM fanatics can’t admit the most obvious facts.
Now BLM leaders are off cozying up to Palestinian terrorists. BLM is a radical left movement of anti-American scumbags.
