Candidates better have SOLUTIONS to propose to racial injustice.
Candidates better ACKNOWLEDGE our pain and grief.
Candidates better say the words #BlackLivesMatter and all #BlackLivesMatter all day every day.
Silence is violence, and tone deafness will get them ZERO votes from social justice activists.
Bernie is a Socialist, Hillary is a moderate, and Jeb is a conservative and none of them get why Black Lives Matter. Sandra Bland could have told them but now its too late.
Sandra Bland should never have been put in the position where dying was preferable to living
