Black Lives Matter Launches A Political Action Committee

On the heels of nearly six months of nationwide demonstrations that
sparked an international movement against systemic racism and police
violence, Black Lives Matter is expanding its influence into politics by
forming a political action committee -- a highly unusual move for a
grassroots organizing group with no central leadership.
The Black Lives Matter PAC will formally roll out its programs as early as Monday, according to Patrisse Cullors, co-founder of Black Lives Matter. The committee plans to endorse a slate of candidates ahead of the general election, paying special attention to mayoral, county sheriff and district attorney races.
“We want to be able to not just speak in ‘get out the vote’ language,” Cullors said in an interview with POLITICO. “Black Lives Matter is launching our PAC so we can talk directly to voters about who we think that they should be voting for and what we think they should be voting on.”

Just what we need. Sheriff's and prosecutors who think that White people are all systemically evil and Black people are morally entitled to commit crimes, including crimes of violence, as reparations for something that happened to their great grandparents. I don't see how anything bad could come out of that.
