Black Lives Matter leader boycotts Cleveland protest, says liberal activists hijacking movement

CLEVELAND — A Black Lives Matter group here is boycotting a demonstration Monday by dozens of activist groups outside the Republican National Convention, balking at how the activists are exploiting police shootings of black men to increase their political power.

Jeff Mixon, president of Black Lives Matter in Cuyahoga County and a member of the county Democratic Party Executive Committee, said the group Organize Ohio was trying to hijack the movement.

“They talk about uniting to end poverty but what they are really interested in is solidifying their political power to advance their agenda,” Mr. Mixon told The Washington Times.

Mr. Mixon blamed black voters for allowing the Democratic Party and its allies take their votes for granted, which he said propitiates the imbalance in the justice system.

So far the only people concerned about blacks dying, are blacks and Liberals. Recent pole even said same thing, it ranks very low on the scale of what concerns people right now.

I really can't tell from this drivel who is o what side, so I'll just assume idiocy here and a no vote is in order. These folks are crazy,, and I don't want to play with them.
