Personally, I like seeing the youth get involved with our politics. Especially when they're on the right side of hugely important issues like race.

they're fucking useless because all the news is going to show is the violence. The message means nothing at all when the visuals are of a riot.

I thought we were done with the Trump protests.

Just elect the Democratic candidate in November. Problem solved. Even Republicans don't like Trump, although it is hilarious seeing the religious right try to justify supporting him.

and the unfavorable numbers of both candidates don't seem to be improving.

The religious right and other more conservative Republican groups and individuals (e.g., the NRA) are holding their noses and supporting Trump because they oppose Clinton at all costs. It's apparent many Democrats will similarly support for Clinton because they hate Trump, not out of any great respect or loyalty.

This election might very well be decided by who hates the other party's candidate more and grass-roots get out the vote efforts.

8. Rapper Threatens To Kill Donald Trump If His "Momma's Food Stamps" Are Taken Away

Threats by prominent members of the black community against Donald Trump, either directly or indirectly, are nothing new.

Just under two months ago we reported about the latest social fallout incident from Trump's rising popularity, when prominent Black Lives Matter activist and rapper Tef Poe tweeted a message for "white people”: if Donald Trump wins the presidency, "niggas" will 'incite riots everywhere.'



“Dear white people if Trump wins young niggas such as myself are fully hell bent on inciting riots everywhere we go. Just so you know,” Poe tweeted. A screenshot of his since deleted tweet was captured below by the Daily Media.

However, a new and perhaps even more bizarre protest, not to mention death threat, against Donald Trump was revealed this weekend when Louisiana rapper Maine Muzik said during a YouTube video recording that he would kill presumptive presidential candidate Donald Trump if his "Mamma's food stamps are taken away." To wit:

I could go to war with whoever the fuck I want to, but I really want to go to war with Donald Trump because Donald Trump trying to take food stamps from my mamma and that’s all the fuck she’s got. As long as the motherfucking government let us keep food stamps… we gonna be good, but the first time this nigga pass a law talking about he taking Louisiana purchase, shit going to get ugly. I swear to god on every motherfucking chain I got, bitchez gonna go down.

You gotta understand them (inaudible) love Fruit Loops. They love that shit so if you take that shit nigga it’s coming with the madness and a nigga ain’t gonna play about that. Y'all take Donald Trump and let him know it's up over here. We gonna declare war.

There are plenty of examples of the ignorance shown in your clip out there too.
And these types of protests anly make trump look like he's been right all along. The Democratic party MUST try to take control of this stuff and try to insure these protests are peaceful. People yelling and throwing bottles wont get any more on your side.
Although I doubt it gets trump enough extra support to actually WIN
