Hillary Clinton's pandering to BLM has backfired.

Black Lives Matter Founder: 'Clintons Use Black People For Votes'

Black Lives Matter co-founder Alicia Garza dropped a bombshell and said that Hillary Clinton and her husband, former president Bill Clinton, just “use black people for votes.”

The Clintons use black people for votes,” Garza said, “but then don’t do anything for black communities after they’re elected. They use us for photo ops.”


I wonder if she'll continue her pro BLM tune after this.

This is pretty funny too, Clinton speaking to BLM members . I guess this encounter is another reason why the BLM founder doesn't like Clinton.

Proof that a broken clock is right twice a day.

Her comments also parallels what Farrakhan said years ago to Tim Russert on Meet the Press.

TR: Black Americans voted overwhelmingly, nine out of 10, for Bill Clinton.

MLF: Yes.

TR: Is that a good thing?

MLF: No, it is not. I feel that our people, who were once Republicans, were very loyal to the Republican Party because of what Abraham Lincoln did. When Franklin Delano Roosevelt came up with the New Deal during the Depression and Black folk found in him a person who was sensitive to the needs of the poor, they left the Republican Party and became Democrats. Now, Black people are taken for granted in the Democratic Party and not even sought after in the Republican Party.

Probably the only statement from BLM that I agree with.

Actually, the shorter list would be to list the people the Clinton's don't use for their purposes.

Don't hold your breath. In the same interview, she called Trump a "fascist idealogue" and said she's going to "do everything in my power to make sure that we are not led by Donald Trump."

Sadly, they are fine with it.

They'll still vote for her at a 90% clip.

Well, wasn't that essentially what Jeremiah Wright said in one of his sermons when he countered the long-held idea that Clinton had "been good" to them? He said that Clinton "did them like he did Monica Lewinsky," and was "ridin' dirty." Then he went on to kick Hillary in the teeth, too. All of which was amusing to the applauding congregation and the man who gave Wright a congratulatory slap on the back.

Not all blacks are oblivious to the fact that they're being used by Democrats.
