Chicago black activists were in the streets Friday to protest the death of Laquan McDonald and while there, they clashed with “outsiders” from Black Lives Matter.
Rebel Pundit captured the scene, which shows several activists angrily denouncing the people they speculated were “operatives of the (Mayor Rahm) Emanuel administration.”
“These kids from the University of Chicago are trying to take over the movement,” another man says.
Rebel Pundit shows as he’s standing near the scrum, a woman approaches and says, “Back your camera up!”
Then a white man intervenes and says, “We’re not doing media. We’re not doing interviews.” It is unclear who he is or why he thought he could control access to a Black Friday rally. (And his “white privilege” can be the only reason he thought he could control the event.)
A Hispanic man then puts his hand over the lens to prevent filming. At that moment, “a Hispanic woman warned me, that ‘for your own protection, you need to stop filming,'” according to Rebel Pundit.
Voices of the Ex-Offenders’s Paul McKinley tells Rebel Pundit, “Black Lives Matter is trying to get out in front of the grassroots. These folks come from the universities, from University of Chicago and they see Jesse Jackson has lost control. Black Youth Project 100, Black Lives Matter, the Dream Defenders — they’re all the same, they’re all front groups for a radical liberal agenda. They’re fighting to take control of the black community, to take over for the old guys, like Jackson and Al Sharpton.”
“None of them care about black issues,” McKinley said, “they are using the black community as pawns to push out their own agendas like same-sex marriage and amnesty for illegal aliens. As long as they have black people beaten down, they think they can manipulate us.”
