WASHINGTON — The Black Lives Matter movement took to the streets of Washington, D.C., to block traffic Thursday in protest against police brutality and what they see as systematic institutional racism. Protesters marched through the streets and cornered off intersections. They even stepped in front of moving traffic, ignoring the scorn and honking from drivers trying to pass by. The protesters had a simple message for frustrated drivers. They argued that a moment of discomfort paled in comparison to what black people have to deal with on a regular basis.

Ungrateful snots unite. Hey gang, this ain't helping your "cause". Cause pissin' people off sends a bad message to the people you're trying to make feel guilty. For something they didn't have anything to do with. Not to mention that the 2nd or 3rd pic down, I thought that willie nelson had showed up to lend his support.

They should try that traffic blocking on Chicago’s south side and test how well it works there if BLM is something they really care about.

Yes, stop traffic to lobby for the right of thugs to rob stores, attack cops, attack civilians, terrorize people with guns that you don't know if they're real till they shoot you with... but only if they are black. White thugs can still be shot. And as for Asians and Latinos, well... if you're not black, you're white to them, so. That's the goal. A Get out of consequences free card issued to blacks and only blacks, expiration date: NEVER.

I mean, they have already changed the definition of racism to convince themselves that blacks cannot be racist even when a group of them are beating some old Vietnamese man at a bus stop, so now they just need to change the definition of crime so that nothing blacks do is criminal.

Black people’s problems in America are primarily caused by other black people.

They’re pushing it off on whites because casual racism against white people is fashionable.

Cuz it's their right to impose their "discomfort" on us to make their point.

Really. Who cares about these fools and their “causes”? May they suffer...even if it is within their own shriveled minds.

Guy robs a convenience store, assaults the owner, walks outside, attacks a cop, gets shot...

Obama talks about racism. Soros funds riots (MORE.)Was it ever cclearer that without hatred, racism, and violence, these coXXXuckers have NO power? If there was ever a time to "get the rope" to defend Americans of ALL colors against MARXISTS, of all colors and stripes, this is it.

Funny how they Love to Protest the Liberal African-American controlled Cities.

Think what does Baltimore and D.C. have in common?

Any blacks in those mini mobs? Looked like old renta mobs hippees who hate America and will march anytime for $100 and a McD free meal ticket.

They are just mad because white people get to say stuff they dont, like thanks for the warning officer, and happy father’s day dad.

A moment of discomfort pales in comparison to what a several ton vehicle grill can do to rent a mob lazybones blocking traffic and breaking the law...

"They even stepped in front of moving traffic, ignoring the scorn and honking from drivers trying to pass by."

Sounds like a typical day in the DC area, not a BLM protest.
