Democrats are trying to pander to the Black Lives Matter movement only to get rejected out of hand. You gotta love it:
WASHINGTON TIMES – The Democratic National Committee’s attempt to cozy up to the Black Lives Matter movement was rejected Sunday as the network pushed back against aligning itself with either major party.
After the Democratic National Committee passed a resolution Friday expressing solidarity with Black Lives Matter, the group issued a statement stressing that the DNC effort “in no way implies an endorsement of the DNC by the Black Lives Matter Network, nor was it done in consultation with us.”
“We do not now, nor have we ever, endorsed or affiliated with the Democratic Party, or with any party,” said the statement on the Black Lives Matter Facebook page. “The Democratic Party, like the Republican and all political parties, have historically attempted to control or contain Black people’s efforts to liberate ourselves. True change requires real struggle, and that struggle will be in the streets and led by the people, not by a political party.”
The Black Lives Matter statement said that the DNC resolution “won’t bring the changes we seek.”
