Black Lives Matter agitator DeRay McKesson is running for mayor of Baltimore, Maryland.
McKesson and American President Barack Obama have a few things in common; neither one had political experience or jobs before they ran for public office.
McKesson announced his candidacy in a blog post on Medium.com.
“It is true that I am a non-traditional candidate?—?I am not a former Mayor, City Councilman, state legislator, philanthropist or the son of a well-connected family,” he wrote. “I am an activist, organizer, former teacher, and district administrator that intimately understands how interwoven our challenges and our solutions are.”
McKesson plans to put his unique skills to work as a social media justice warrior, race baiter and instigator to further divide Baltimore along racial lines.
McKesson realizes he has an uphill battle. Black Twitter is not known to open their wallets or purses for political candidates. McKesson will need millions of dollars — not millions of tweets — to run a successful election campaign.
“I have come to realize that the traditional pathway to politics, and the traditional politicians who follow these well-worn paths, will not lead us to the transformational change our city needs,” he wrote.
According to Breitbart.com, “McKesson plans to fight the political establishment and shake up the system by running as a Democrat.”
Baltimore residents can look forward to long hot summers of racial violence if he is elected mayor.
And just like Obama, McKesson will conveniently forget who put him in office.
Saw this on Twitter. Chuckled. Black Twitter will actually support him. Good luck with this.
He is a nice looking guy. Wish him the best. That’s a sexy look. A brotha out there making moves.
neither one had political experience or jobs before they ran for public office.
^^^^^^^^^
You saying President couldnt have gotten a log in to this site pre-Daquan? You got jokes about him not having a job? My President got that law degree tho.
Good for him, and good luck
Good luck to him. They can reelect a crack head, he has a shot.
Jenie when you get in here bring the spreadsheet with you.
Tx.

What do you mean by political experience? I mean most politicians run for public office without political experience, no? I mean some run for the Presidency (Trump) without ever holding public office.
I dont know much about him, but i believe that people who dont have a political background are more likely to be the best for the job because they care about the little people. Besides many people back in the early days of theU.S. had little to no formal training yet they held office.
I’m glad u found this funny a black man trying to do something positive is funny go you. Ignorant and smallminded
…matter o’ fact, I am not in the city, I’m in the county and this dude looks like he lives down the street from me in an adjacent complex!!
Fendi. DONT DO IT.
Does he know how to balance a budget?
Although i’m not into politics…. +1
Shoot, Jesse “The Body” Ventura was a wrestler turned actor turned politician, Arnold Schwarzenegger (sp), was a body builder, turned actor, turned politician, Ronald Reagan was an actor turned politician…..even became President and Bush Jr. was almost as smart as a fifth grader with a 2.0 GPA. So……Go DeRay.
Pretty please. Cuz…ugh…
Thats the city managers job.
Did you sing/rap that like Drake?!
Tuh, smh
At this point, we gonna need a database created to track this madness!!!
Kinda like the little boy in Indiana Jones. COVAH YAH HAAAAAT Fendi. Cover your heart!
neither one had political experience or jobs before they ran for public office
============
Learn how type properly. Goodbye.
Good luck to him. He can’t do no worse than those who’ve so called had pedigree and effed up the church’s money and whatnot.
Clint Eastwood…
The fact that she down there talking to herself tho. WHET?
I would like to see someone that has an actual shot of winning an election, run as independent. I’m over the Republicans and the Democrats.
That being said, #Bernie2016. <<<Although that is not going to happen.
I have a couple I can add too. One was even coming for me. I’ll make her the president of the Buttercup Fan Club if she returns.
Why don’t you think it will happen?
SR: Don’t shoot the messenger, but this came across my TL recently. I didn’t know you and Jacky Jasper have beef. Apparently, you two have a whole cow. Yikes.
That tickles me every time I see it! But she’s not smart enough to realize it’s the same rhetoric EVERY TIME.
I ran out of that post, as soon as I saw another one was available.
Every picture of I see of this dude, he looks angry
Sonny Bono
Lying on my President! Shame Shame
exactly what they want you to see
Yes, anybody can do it!!
So what if the city Manager is messing up?..How would he know?
That freaking movie scared the crap out of me! Pulling peoples hearts out and all that chanting. Not too mention the snake pit. Blech!
I don’t think he will win the Southern states. Also…somehow (and for some reason unbeknownst to me) Hilary Clinton has managed to garner most of the AA support.
Its DOWN below too.
all of that, plus the chilled monkey brains, was all I needed to be scared.
Some education is definitely needed. Political Science majors learn a lot about society, history, and policy making that is geared towards making these politicians more “well rounded”…this brother doesn’t look like he even goes to the barbershop on the regular…won’t go far. Activism is a great way to rally for change though.
*drops this off and walks away*

Whale
Who is that ?
How does anyone know?
Look at ole Salvatore. I was so sad when he managed to die. Cher was too through at his fune.
I also dont think his wife Mary who took his seat, had any political exp either.
no worse than SRB
I don’t think Hil has as much AA support as she thinks. Younger AA women are one of the largest supporters of Bernie. Many folks are still peeve with Hil over Benghazi and the email thing certainly didn’t help.
exactly
So now being a social media politician qualifies you for the office of Mayor. People and their self serving, egotistical views. You have to get votes, not likes.
A blogger.
Chile I knew that fool would show that azz today …. let me read and catch up
Good golly. Are they mulitiplying?
#meSSy
She? He? IT? Whatever…was very smart in the beginning but something has changed. IMO. The person is getting sloppy with it or maybe a lot more bold. Doesn’t try to hide as hard as they used to and doesn’t seem to care if they get found out. Either that or they are as confused as me by the whole fiasco and can’t keep track of it. LOL
Chile ….. let me take my child to swim lord have mercy
True…and my comments are in regards to the polls that I have seen. I realize they are not reliable. However, I know that a lot of black senators and black organizations have come out and supported HC.
On a personal note, most of my black friends support Bernnie…anecdotal evidence though.
The sad thing is she’s been doing this for YEARS. Not a couple but like 8. That’s SEW sad.
A gay
Are you referring to that Woodstock original perched atop your crown, Jacky’s comment or both?
that GPA though!
but she always likes and comment to herself ….. she loves to agree and argue with herself
Let me too get up and do something. I need to get mine to the shop.
Love this gif
She.
The history is too too long to explain. But Butter is correct. Years.
A beautiful mess.
A gerbil mess.
You’re crazy!
As do mine as well. From my observations (in a red state), Bernie has done a good job of addressing the issues that interest Millennials.
His Royal Purpleness!
You know what…???
And on that note, I bid you a fond adieu. ???
I luh you
Where shall I look? I just got back.
Goodness!
LOL!!!!!!!
Below. Very last comment
Watch out for that tree!
Is he??? I didn’t know that, but that would explain a lot.
Skied himself right on into it. Poor Sonny
Fendi said it was perched, like a f-n bird! LMAO!!!!
I thought so? Girl. Dont get me to lying. Sorry if he isnt. I think so truly tho
IDK how you can have “bed head” when you sleep on a futon, but I’m sure someone will enlighten me.
I don’t care to learn, tho.
Oh. Okay. I thought she was pre Daquan but recent. In any event let me just go on record as saying I was done when I realized the similarities between her and another poster. I haven’t recovered yet.
Like a room full of gremlins!
Per Wiki, DeRay graduated from Bowdoin College in ’07 with a degree in government and legal studies
Someone with a website that is full of viruses and malware.
Nah, you could be right. I’ve only been to his site a couple of times, but like I said, it would explain his messiness.
Thanks ma’am. How are you today?
Wanting better for his community is race baiting and all the other negative labels given? I guess the civil rights movement and its achievements would have never happened on your watch…..smh
Weeeeeelllll “I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee that says, ‘Fool me once, shame on … shame on you. Fool me… You can’t get fooled again!'” I’ll take Bushisms for $500, Alex!!
He must have read your comment @sandrarose when you asked “What does DeRay do?”.
Who was the actress who hit hear head skiing and died a couple of days later?
Got em’…..
Newpost
Natasha Richardson. I still can’t believe it when I watch The Parent Trap (reloaded).
She fertile as hell . Popping out logins like Mexicans pop out babies .
YES!!! That’s her name. Dub’s post made me think of her. That was just awful!
yasss… i don’t know how to do the icons but insert clapping here.
Out of all the people protesting police brutality, you would think one negro was qualified…
Them Tea Party folks get shyt done, why not…
If you are black and you are out there fighting for your race you are labeled a trouble maker.
The hypocrisy
In a meeting all day. Our Director is here.
And we got a team dinner.
Hep.
Some folks make it so… Lol

That’s Racist!! CTHU
DeRay is far more than just another twitter figga. Lets get this straight. I will def support him. I would like to know what y’alls problem is with him (those who dont support him) because as far as I can tell he has been an integral part of the movement. Im not a marcher or a protester, but DeRay and those like him keep everyone informed as to what is going on. He was the first person I saw speak on Michael Brown. He may not deserve your support, but this man deserves respect.
Just skipped the Mogwai stage, huhn?!
Yeen voting now OR then no wayZ SO
He is one candidate of 13, NOW…I’ve heard of 2 possibly 5, but 13 CANDIDATES…YEAH OKAY! Being from Baltimore, the whole “Freddie Gray” situation has brought EVVVVERRRRYOOONEE & their Mommas out to run. I THOUGHT I might put my BID IN & RUN TOO–Spouses running, Gift Card Thefts, Pastors thought about running (but old bones were dug up & decided to stay at Empowerment)…I CAN only HOPE that WHOMEVER gets the position do the RIGHT thing & MOVE the City FOWARD, but it’s probably just WISHFUL THINKING–BUT WE CAN ALL DREAM, CAN’T WE.
Just gonna come in kicking and screaming huhn?! LMBO
It’s really sad. The man is doing something positive and we still want to disrespect him and question his abilities. Meanwhile he is putting in the work while most of us are playing silly games. I don’t understand why we do this to our own)
me either girl. some people default setting is just mad, ugly and dumb.
I am perplexed as to why though? We are in this together.
O my bad …
I done told you…………He said
I hope ya’ll eat something good…
I’m going to the mall to reward myself tonight. Ain’t been to the gym but I’m going to plan ahead for when I actually do. lol
You all have a wonderful evening, I may pop in later, but chances are slim. Talk you in the AM!!
I’m not sold on Bernie just yet. Many speak just to appease to a certain group of people. But he does have great points. Unfortunately, he doesn’t look presidential, coupled with being old and spit flying out of his mouth….I just can’t.
Good luck with the campaign. He should be prepared for the personal attacks that will come after he starts running.
LOL, I was just going to say this. It doesn’t seem like any of them know how. He can’t do much worse.
How is he going to run without money?
Right? I only have 2 kids (16 yrs old and 10 yrs old). Not “popping out” no more babies either, lol…
Don’t forget CLint Eastwood an actor and chair talker, or Sarah Palin was and remains a dummy.
Don’ The Carters follow DeRay on twitter? Maybe he’ll get an anonymous donation
Frankly my dear I don’t give a damn. I’m happy that Mr. Mckesson is trying to do the work instead of sitting back and complaining while he waits of the white man to fix the problems. I respect him for that. I live in Georgia so whether he does good or bad if elected it won’t affect me 1 iota.
sounds like the real estate market in atlanta a few years ago when even kindergartners were selling houses…..
I’m all for this intelligent brother running for Mayor.
Lol
He’s cute, but he could use a few bowls of cream of wheat! Too skinny to be mayor.
really starting to believe sandra is a racist herself…. she must hate the her own skin color… always negative…. your life must suck sandra *drops mic and snatch your wig* and im aware my email shows/// wink wink
This!!!!!?
???? Zam Sandra. Tea and shade…
IDk…Take up a collection at church, gofundme, social media campaign *shrugs* Or, he could just go old school and knock on doors to get to know people.
It all starts with a dream…if he can get the people in his city to the poles then he can show them down a better road…wish him luck
Who knew you were a psychic? It’s easy to complain and criticize. It takes strength to go forward and actually try to make a difference.
WOW I am shocked Sandra Rose didn’t mock Deray for being gay in this post.Did Hell freeze over?
Wow!! that was immature..you have a BLESSED day…I was speaking of the person YOU posted stating that they had beef with SANDRA.. I was stating that THEY were being “meSSy”…..but please ma’am have a blessed day! #beyond NEGATIVITY
Lol @ not millions of tweets, nothing but FACTS! Its amazing what a social media presence can do or not do really..love it and hate its allure all at the same time. As far as politics, I kind of feel like why not for anyone at this point? If Trump can run, anybody can.
Lol @ spit flying from his mouth.
She don’t wear wigs.
why do you hate yourself, sandra?
I think he’s going to do great. He has my support
He’s cute!
I think he has a great chance. He’s going to hold the other candidates accountable.
