‘Black Lives’ Won’t Endorse Candidates

Black Lives Matter won't endorse a 2016 presidential candidate, one of the founders of the movement said in an interview with the AP, preferring instead to be a "wrench in the gears." "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," Alicia Garza said. "We don't think that playing a corrupt game is going to bring change and make black lives matter." She added that some individuals or groups using the same slogan may choose to endorse candidates, however.

I reckon that more needs to be done as this group is about making sure black people get their rights and also, do more as well to ensure more rights and peace is done for them. It is going to take time to change as some people, don't believe that black lives are important and also need to see changes. I hope we see more done so these people have more rights and also the black people get support, and encouragement in their life which can be a good thing.
