Black Lives Matter Activist Brittany Packnett on Why She's Finally [voting Hillary]
Elle ^ | Harris-Perry

Posted on 10/21/2016 10:43:16 AM PDT by pabianice

Less than two months ago, Brittany Packnett featured prominently in The New York Times'reporting about Hillary Clinton's continued inability to solidify black millennial voters. Packnett, 31, first came to national attention during the protests in Ferguson, Missouri, following the police shooting death of Michael Brown. She is one of the founding members of Campaign Zero, an innovative data, strategy, and policy platform aimed at ending police violence in America. She is easily one of the most identifiable young voices to have emerged in the leader-full movement for Black Lives in the past five years.

In September, Packnett told The New York Times, "We're in the midst of a movement with a real sense of urgency. Mrs. Clinton is not yet connecting because the conversation that younger black voters are having is no longer one about settling on a candidate who is better than the alternative." Today, Brittany Packnett officially and publicly endorsed Secretary Hillary Clinton for president.

Packnett's endorsement is personal, not institutional. No one person speaks for the broad and varied social movement commonly known as Black Lives Matter.

So, looks like she’s getting the domestic terrorist vote, after all. That’s a surprise.

BLM is just another Soros funded Dem operation.

Apparently the innovation being to increase violence against cops. Shocking that she's voting for Her Heinous.

In other news, after sitting on the fence and being very undecided about politics in general, the all important bell-weather demographic known as Freepers are starting to break for Trump....

Exactly. The BLM children are rather inconsequential in anything accept the fact that the media, spineless politicians and the Obama regime prop them up. Hilary is a racist at heart and I know BLM hate whites so really the common thread is American hating and whoring to sugar daddy Soros through surrogates. He plays these people like a puppet and pumps in money. The way to destroy America is to divide and undermine it and convince people how unfair it is. It's classic Saul Alinsky and old Soviet KGB doctrine (now being perpetrated by GRU).

Not only is she voting for Hillary, but so are all her dead relatives.

So she’s endorsing the candidate from the party that runs the cities where blacks are gunned down in such large numbers, and that pushes the policies that has resulted in most black pregnancies ending in abortion.
