'#Blacklivesmatter' Coffee Cup Fight Continues Between Police Officers and Civilians


... The group explains that this move was in response to a protest held by a former cop a week ago. Tony Lepore set up the small protest outside of the Dunkin' Donuts where earlier this month, a Providence police officer purchased a cup of coffee. He was given a cup with "#blacklivesmatter" scrawled across the side after alleging receiving reluctant service from the employee. Lepore is calling for the employee to be fired ...

Black Lives Matter Too


The Black Lives Matter movement has a serious PR problem. Too many people just don't get it.


The problem stems from the name, "Black Lives Matter." The sentiment undelaying the movement is sound, even profound: black lives matter just as much as any other lives. In other words, black lives matter too.

Why BLM activists think the Democratic presidential candidates’ outreach to the movement has been largely superficial

Joy-Ann Reid



... As she watched the recent Democratic debate, former Ohio State Senator Nina Turner felt her party could take great pride in offering the country a substantive discussion, in contrast to the three-ring circus taking place on the other side. But as the lone question relating to the lives of 41.7 million African Americans was tossed to CNN’s Don Lemon, Turner, a political and social activist, was among many African Americans who had reason to cringe ...

Black Lives Matter, a political force to be reckoned with


Black Lives Matter is proving that it’s no longer just a social movement fighting for racial justice; it’s a political force to be reckoned with.

In the last week alone, prominent groups from within the movement have been handed the proverbial keys to run entire presidential forums – and not just for the Democratic candidates scrambling to curry favor with activists after stumbling in the past, but also for Republicans eager to land on the right side of criminal justice reform ...
