‘Black Lives Matter’ Activists Disrupt Bernie Sanders Speech
Sourced through Scoop.it from: www.nbcnews.com
#BlackLivesMatter RIGHT NOW! ALL DAY. EVERY DAY.
White privilege doesn’t get it. Segregated White people do not have family members who are getting lynched every 28 hours.
If we don’t get it (JUSTICE)! SHUT IT DOWN!
The Mayor and City Manager in Rohnert Park, California say they are investigating an incident where an unidentified officer drew his gun on a man recording him.

The whole GOP primary is about who can lack empathy the most. That should tell you all you need to know right now.

Prosecutor says no commands, no ID from officers. #JonathanFerrell fears for his life, runs, "trying to escape being shot" #KerrickTrial

He was shot 10x and placed in handcuffs. Yet the officer who shot him received medical attention.

Washington (CNN)Hillary Clinton has been largely hands off when it comes to Bernie Sanders.
But in an interview with a South Carolina Democrat published Monday, the former secretary of state subtly hit her most threatening primary opponent, previewing how she could go after the senator.
The subtle dig came during a July 23 conversation with Jamie Harrison, chairman of the South Carolina Democratic Party, about how to deal with racism in the United States and, particularly, the Black Lives Matter movement that has captured the attention of activists across the country.
“This (movement) is fueled in large measure by young people and it is a particular development in the civil rights movement that deserves our support,” Clinton said. “By that I mean, there are some who say, ‘Well racism is a result of economic inequality.’ I don’t believe that.”
The line hits at the main argument pro-Clinton Democrats and Black Lives Matters activists have used against Sanders: The only way he views race issues is through an economic lens.

Jimmy Kimmel weighed in on the Cecil the lion issue during his monologue on Tuesday night and he didn’t hold back.
Sourced through Scoop.it from: www.cnn.com
Did Kimmel choke up or cry when 9 Black people where murdered at church?
Kimmel insinuated that the most hated person in America is a rapist rather than a mass-murder.
Kimmel is worked up over one Lion being killed, while the U.S. houses millions of humans and animals in abusive conditions and kills humans (police kill more than on person every 28 hours) and factory farms kill millions of animals every year.
I’d like him to explain why he was crying. Did he realize he hasn’t fought for the cause of #BlackLivesMatter and #LatinosAreHuman ?
We see the racially motivated traffic stops that lead to the explosion of debtors' prisons, and the loss of opportunity for Black families.

We see a system that defunds public schools and SNAP, cuts Medicaid, and refuses to pay a living wage then expects bootstrap heroics.
— Propane Jane (@docrocktex26) July 31, 2015
We see a system that disproportionately surveils, arrests, and incarcerates Black/Brown people for drugs that White ppl use at higher rates.
— Propane Jane (@docrocktex26) July 31, 2015
We see courts that are staffed by demonstrably racist people who meter out demonstrably racist judgments, and get away with it. Daily.
