'Black Lives Matter' Refuses To Endorse A 2016 Presidential Candidate

The coming presidential election is pretty grim for a candidate. The 'Black Lives Matter' group is not going to endorse a single one of them for the 2016 elections, but will only go on to being activists by asking candidates about how they feel the African-Americans are being treated.

Why exactly is their group refusing to endorse a Presidential candidate, and why do they want to go further into protests? Alicia Garza, one of the founders of Black Lives Matter made a pertinent comment during the event year of the Black Women's Roundtable Policy Forum the past week in Washington, according to The Guardian.

"Sometimes you have to put a wrench in the gears to get people to listen," Garza said, in the event year.

"What we've seen is an attempt by mainstream politics and politicians to co-opt movements that galvanize people in order for them to move closer to their own goals and objectives," Garza added. "We don't think that playing a corrupt game is going to bring change and make black lives matter."

The BLM movement had started in 2013, when Trayvon Martin, 17, was shot in Florida. Its popularity rose when 18-year-old Michael Brown was shot in Ferguson, Missouri, by a white police officer, according to hngn.

"Black Lives Matter" continues to protest crimes that are linked to the torture of black males under authorities.
