Should Black Lives Matter Movement Hold A Presidential Candidate Forum To Address Our Issues?
News One For Black America ^ | September 28, 2015 | Staff

On Monday’s edition of NewsOne Now, Roland Martin posed a question about the upcoming presidential election and one of the largest movements in recent history: “Should the Black Lives Matter movement invite Republican and Democratic presidential candidates to a debate/forum in an attempt to force them to address issues important to the African-American community?”

There would be pros and cons behind holding the forum, NewsOne Now panelist Paris Dennard told Martin:

“It would be very telling to those candidates who take this seriously and who may not agree with the slogan or the hashtag, but understand there are pros behind it.”

He added, “Those who get it and have staff that say ‘This is something that you should do, if you want to reach and have these inroads and tap into how America feels’ will show up. Those that won’t, they’re not going to be there.”

Lauren Victoria Burke, Managing Editor of Politic365.com, said, “I think we know who would not show up.”

“Most of the Republicans would not show up.” She continued, “Jeb Bush, maybe Marco Rubio would show up.”

Martin then interjected with Bush’s “free stuff” faux pas from last week, to which Burke said, “That is how they market to Black voters — the welfare queen.” Later, Martin suggested the forum would raise the Black Lives Matter movement to a different level.

“Because if you go back to 2012, when you have the Tea Party that sponsored debates — Black Lives Matter movement should do it as well,” Martin said.

Martin believes a Black Lives Matter-sponsored presidential debate would “force every Democratic candidate to have to show up and speak to our issues.”

Watch Roland Martin, GOP strategist Paris Dennard, and Lauren Victoria Burke discuss the notion of the Black Lives Matter Movement hosting/sponsoring a 2016 presidential candidate debate/forum in the video clip above.

Oh, what exceptional candidates will come from this group.

The black panther leader? The black panther harassing voters? Jesse Jackson? Demon Wright?

Seriously?

Anyone that cares about America he says.

The BLM movement is ridiculous. Of course black lives matter you fools. But not so much white lives, or police lives, or yellow or red lives amirite?

It would be interesting because these people have demonstrated they don’t want to listen, only to shout

Why not just put up effigies and yell at them?

Yes, let them organize it and then the rest of America marches on the event and shuts it down.

I’m all for it. This “debate” will consist of brow-beating whoever is dumb enough to show up into chanting over and over that only black lives matter, laws shouldn’t apply to blacks, and they should get free stuff to atone for slavery.

Everybody in attendance will pretend nothing that happens to blacks is their own fault, and if they fail to measure up in anyway to other races, it is the fault of whites.

Of course, none of the groveling will make the BLM crowd happy and will only serve to embolden them, causing them to make even more outrageous demands.

The real issue is Blacks Killing Blacks and the 73% Black Abortion rate . The police nor whitey can possibly keep with the rate that they exterminate themselves , It’s the ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM and they refuse to address the real issue ,,,, “BELIEVE IT OR NOT” !

Regarding “Our Issues” look no further than the nearest mirror for all your problems.

Criminal really. Aiding and abetting a terror group. And BLM fits the FBI definition of a terror group to the letter. Fear/violence in support/to further of a political cause.

And it’s damn time we start prosecuting people for it.

...Managing Editor of Politic365.com, said, “I think we know who would not show up.”

Yeah, anybody that cares about their own political future, for one.

But, that idiot Bush and the fool Rubio will say..."it's the right thing to do to listen to their message", or some such silly crap.

The Bowel Movement, uh, er, the BLM Movement has nothing to say about anything that anyone with any sense wants to hear...unless one wants to hear a constant stream of foul invective about the racist whitey and the slave-holding crackers that are standing on the necks of the proud black man.

A pox on them.
