JEB! Suffers from rally interruptus at the hands of #BlackLivesMatter

From Twitter and the Los Angeles Times (Emphasis mine):
A Jeb Bush town hall Wednesday ended on a testy note, as Black Lives Matter protesters clashed with the presidential candidates' supporters after he faced a series of challenging questions.
Bush, responding to a woman's query about the disproportionate number of minorities killed by police and their treatment in the criminal justice system, said there was no question that racism still existed in the United States and that leaders needed to engage in communities that felt disenfranchised. He then turned to his education record as Florida's governor, raising achievement scores among minority youth.
I have a record of empowering people in communities that” were told “they had no chance,” Bush said, ending the town hall. He did not deliver a closing statement, as he typically does, and quickly made his way to an exit, greeting supporters along the way.
Behind him, a few dozen protesters raised their fists and began chanting “Black Lives Matter!” A handful of Bush supporters turned toward them and chanted “All Lives Matter!” and “White Lives Matter!” Two women -- a protester and a Bush supporter -- stood a few feet from the candidate with their middle fingers extended in each other's faces.
I'm sure those counter chants will really win some friends over for JEB 
 if i express my concerns to you and you respond with a like claim you just ignored me and my concerns if you want to know why you keep hearing "BLACK LIVES MATTER" look no further than these Bush supporters and the vitriol used to respond to something they give less than gnat crap about and shutting it out by making a claim that nullifies the message though relevant just not in that particular venue.  

whenever a subject of Black concerns like those who voice them they are immediately confronted with misdirecting to something making them appear to be the victims and the Black concerns will they get labelled as our problem because they are our fault. 

vicious circle of denial keeps the movement alive seriously address it and there will be less of a need to keep telling you "BLACK LIVES MATTER", stop killing us and recognize us and you'll be surprised at what might occur. like history ignore it and it will repeat. recognize
