Black Lives Matter activists won't listen

[The Tradition]

Hillary Clinton gave a speech at the historically black college Clark Atlanta University in Atlanta last Friday, which was crashed by Black Lives Matter activists.

After being repeatedly interrupted by them, Clinton told the activists that they might like what she's proposing if they only listened.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have some issues to discuss and proposals to make. If our friends will allow me to do it they may actually find them to their liking," she said.

Congressman John Lewis, a civil rights icon, and Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed also pleaded with the activists to stop interrupting before getting on stage with Clinton in a show of solidarity.

The activists were eventually removed from the rally.

"I appreciate their passion but I am sorry they didn't listen, because some of what they have been demanding I am offering and intend to fight for as president," Clinton said in response.

Perhaps they know she's FOS and that's why they wouldn't listen?

I agree with this. Just like with Occupy Wallstreet, this movement seems to have severe leadership problems.

It's a typical democratic group. Demand loudly what you Want, all the while shutting down debate. Much of the leadership and candidates on your side have praised the group.

They've praised the goal, but I don't know many who have praised their tactics.
