Bernie Sanders and Black Lives Matter Organization

Hello Everyone,

Please let me say I love both Bernie Sanders, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton. But for the Presidential Election of 2016, I'm supporting Hillary Clinton. When I viewed a recording of a rally of Bernie Sanders being interrupted by an organization called Black Lives Matter in Seattle, Washington, I couldn't help but feel sympathy and compassion for Senator Bernie Sanders because he was not given a chance to speak and offer what he had to say at his rally. The disgraceful behavior that Seattle, Washington Chapter of Black Lives Matter Organization was an embarrassment to the African American Community and it was not peaceful. The honest truth is all lives matter and harassment, chaos and disruption doesn't accomplish any goals of achieving equality. Don't get me wrong, I, along with others, am angry about the wrongful deaths of innocent people caused by the police and other people of the system. I'm against racism and racial profiling. I understand the anger among African Americans. But we as African Americans can't go around being rude and disruptive, that is not the way to be. I think this chapter of Black Lives Matter is attacking the wrong people. I think the activists of the organization, Black Lives Matter in Seattle, has the wrong idea of what the word and action of what 'protesting' means. There are several Progressive leaders who are African American and well as White. I also feel that some of the activist of Black Lives Matter in Seattle are young and don't understand the histories of all the 2016 United States Presidential candidates and their life long contributions to the people of the United States. When their way of causing disruptions are illustrated, the activists of Black Lives Matter in Seattle are perpetuating the stereotypes that racist people has placed on African Americans for many years. Black Lives Matter organization need to review their ways and methods of making things better for the African American Community. If the activist of Black Lives Matter in Seattle, Washington want to have protest, they should protest in places where racism, injustice and inequality is demonstrated at. Black Lives Matter Organization in Seattle, please stop attacking people who are on your side and who are working for you!
