Let's can the 'she's got secret service' bullshit

BLM have not expressed any interest in Hillary other than to praise her. She's not being attacked because she's simply not a target.

it says something about her elitism. But don't tell me BLM as a nation-wide organization can't scrape $2700.

They have no arguments with Hillary
Hillary doesn't have to worry about the AA vote
Hillary as well has no reason to encourage BLM since she is far ahead of Sanders, all that stupid conspiracy crap needs to be canned. It makes those who say it look like kooks and desperate.

-------------

I will add that I don't think their protests are effective or a good thing for their cause.

There'd be no OP if people simply admitted the truth you just stated instead of pretending BLM wants to, but can't, attack Hillary.

......she's had a MUCH better record on civil rights than Sanders had. So they don't have an issue with her record or public statements.

people who were protected by the SS. Part of my job. Hillary was one of them btw, didn't work for her, but met her as part of my job.

If protesters appear at a political rally they CAN protest. First amendment still matters.

So no, it's not an excuse at all.
