Ben Carson Wants Nothing to do with the #BlackLivesMatter Movement

*Dr. Ben Carson, who’s trying to get the Republican presidential nomination apparently doesn’t think he needs the black vote.

At least that’s what a lot of people are concluding as he continues to alienate himself from black voters and the black community. It’s evident in his public disdain for the Black Lives Matter campaign.

Carson told Fox News that he doesn’t agree with the groups’ apparent strategy of forcing a meeting or their agenda upon 2016 candidates, by either disrupting or threatening to disrupt a campaign-related event.

“I would like them to start paying attention to the carnage rather than making it a political issue. The most common cause of death for young black males in cities is homicide.”

Carson, a retired neurosurgeon and social conservative, went on to argue that black on black crime is the main issue Black Lives Matter activists’ should be concerned with, more-so than blacks dying while in contact with police.

So while Carson is towing the Republican line in marginalizing the Black Lives Matter movement, on the Democratic side, presidential candidates Hillary Clinton, Martin O’Malley and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders each confirmed that their officials met with leaders of the movement.

However, the specifics of the meetings, including whether the sides have reached any agreement to avoid further disruptions, remain unclear because the group will not allow the details to be made public.
