Black Lives Matter Disavows Democratic Party's Show Of Support

Black Lives Matter Disavows Democratic Party's Show Of Support:
"Activists with the Black Lives Matter movement rejected the Democratic Party’s recent statement of support, making clear that they are not affiliated with any political party.
“A resolution signaling the Democratic National Committee’s endorsement that Black lives matter, in no way implies an endorsement of the DNC by the Black Lives Matter Network, nor was it done in consultation with us,” the Black Lives Matter Network wrote in a statement Sunday.
“We do not now, nor have we ever, endorsed or affiliated with the Democratic Party, or with any party.
The Democratic Party, like the Republican and all political parties, have historically attempted to control or contain Black people’s efforts to liberate ourselves,” the statement continues.
“True change requires real struggle, and that struggle will be in the streets and led by the people, not by a political party.”"
