As country listens to Florida teens, Black Lives Matter youths feel ignored
Chicago Tribune, Feb 26, 2018, Dahleen Glanton

The young people of Black Lives Matter are hurt. And they have every right to be.

When they were protesting in the streets of cities across America, much of the country didn’t bother to listen to their message. They were not embraced by the mainstream for their bravery, their determination or resolve to bring attention to reckless police killings that disproportionately impact young African-Americans.

Some labeled them troublemakers, even terrorists. And in the aftermath of the student uprising over the mass shooting in Parkland, Fla., they are taking to social media to vent their disappointment.

Boo frickin hooo
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

Here lies in honored glory an American soldier, known but to God

THE ESTABLISHMENT IS THE PROBLEM...NOT THE SOLUTION

It's because you are just so ignorable.

I guess they'll have to burn Ferguson to the ground again to regain relevancy.

What do they want....another John Muhammad, Aaron Alexis, or Micah Johnson?
I disagree.  Circle gets the square.

Maybe if they had engaged the media instead of blocking traffic ... they might have been taken a bit more seriously.

Is there nothing left to burn down or loot?

It does raise an interesting point.  Maybe the BLM folk could take a page from these gun hating libtards on how to get your voice heard.  One could start by Putting their inner ghetto gorilla away and play nice like Doc King
