Where are Black Lives Matter and the Black Panthers During the Baton Rouge Louisiana Flood Crisis? Published on Aug 16, 2016
A black man in the Baton Rouge Louisiana area, where there are currently very serious flood, hurricane like conditions, posed a very simple, but often controversial question in a Facebook Live video. He basically asked ... "where is Black Lives Matter and the Black Panther Party when we need them?" The man elaborated on his point by saying that those aforementioned groups had no problem showing up en masse, armed, ready to go to war with the police after the shooting of armed suspect Alton Sterling. But when thousands of black people need to be rescued from their homes, when they need food, clothing, and shelter, those groups are nowhere to be found. If black lives really matter, shouldn't they matter all of the time?
