‘White Lives Matter’ protesters rally at NAACP building in Texas



A little gathering of white protestors holding 'White Lives Matter' signs arranged a showing outside the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People working in Houston on Sunday. Holding Confederate banners and attack rifles, the gathering of around 20 white individuals accumulated in Houston to challenge against the NAACP for neglecting to denounce the apparent part of Black Lives Matter in connection to the passings of white cops.



"We turned out over here to challenge against the NAACP and their disappointment in standing in opposition to the barbarities that associations like Black Lives Matter and other professional dark associations have created the assault and slaughtering of white cops, the torching of urban areas and things of that nature," bunch part Ken Reed.

"In the event that will be a social equality association and guard their kin, they additionally need to consider their kin responsible."

Reed said the gathering wasn't there to bring about issues.

Sunday's exhibit in Houston's transcendently dark Third Ward immediately prodded a counterprotest, which soon overshadowed the White Lives Matter social event. As police arrived and set up blockades around the White Lives Matter dissenters, local people remained over the road.

Some yelled, while others shook their heads in dismay that Confederate banners were flying before a NAACP office in a dark neighborhood. Police got out the group around 3:30 p.m. on Sunday evening.
