BlackLiveSmatter Not Welcome in Chicago–Booted from Black Friday Protest

RebelPundit: When protesters took to Chicago’s Michigan Avenue last week, grassroots activists at the Black Friday boycott had no interest in sharing the Magnificent Mile with “Black Lives Matter” activists from the University of Chicago, forcing protesters associated with the group off the street.

While media coverage from the periphery of the march showed images of protesters lined up in front of the high-end stores and reported on a unified movement for “justice” in the police killing of Laquan McDonald, it was anything but. Our footage from the core of the march reveals the contentious and disunited elements vying for control.

At the outset of the march, grassroots protesters commonly associated with the group Voices of the Ex-Offenders (V.O.T.E.) led the march north on Michigan Avenue and away from Jesse Jackson and his media entourage. The majority of viewers observing the events on television were unaware of how the march began as cameras and reporters remained trained on Jackson.  more here

  1. A big part of our family tradition was to attend the tree lighting in downtown Seattle. Now, with the commie thugs of the so-called “BLM” disrupting the merry gathering, we don’t go. And when the same commie miscreants of so-called “Occupy” took over downtown, we stopped going there to shop as well. We live in town and going to a mall is a) not like Christmastime to us and b) shopping in a mall. Now I’m thinking I’ll search out a smallish little town that has a real downtown core of shops (and isn’t a tourist haven) to take our family out of town for a weekend to do our Christmas shopping, drink hot chocolate and have some fun far, far away from anything with social significance.

  2. The last two paragraphs of the linked article are right on. The Black community hates the big name groups, and calls them out for the radical, power hungry radicals they are.
