Breitbart notes that the relationship between Obama and Black Lives Matter goes back much further than Ferguson.
“Great meeting, Brittany. Truly appreciate your leadership!!” Jarrett replied on Twitter. Packnett has six recorded entries of visiting the White House long before the protests in Ferguson. She also was among the select group of Ferguson activists that met with Obama in December 2014. “I could tell he is taking this very personally,” Packnett explained after the 45 minute meeting with the president in the Oval Office. “He wants to see some clear, thoughtful action come from this.”
She revealed that Obama sympathized with the movement, thanks to his background as a community organizer in Chicago.
“He offered us a lot of encouragement with his background as a community organizer, and told us that even incremental changes were progress,” she told reporters after the meeting. “He didn’t want us to get discouraged. He said, ‘Keep speaking truth to power.’”
Packnett was also selected as a member of Obama’s presidential task force on 21st century policing – and has a long record of activism in St. Louis including some time spent in Washington D.C.

She also help turn the Ferguson protests into a nationwide movement, after launching a newsletter of information relevant to the protests, spreading the #blacklivesmatter hashtag and helping the movement draft op-eds and documents.
“I believe in non-violent civil action. I know that riots solve nothing. But I understand what Dr. King meant when he told Mike Wallace ‘a riot is the language of the unheard,’ nearly 50 years ago,” she wrote. “And in a community long overlooked, underserved, and continually harassed by law enforcement, the pressure finally burst the proverbial pipe.”
So now Dr. King endorses rioting and violence? She is attempting to alter the very meaning and persona of one of the most revered personalities in recent American history.
Really. ..duh !
Bible says: Love thy neighbor as thyself…well I could not love myself if I thought like you or black lives matter or Valerie Jarrett…

Valeri Jarrett has been involved as a Obama advisor, I assume well compensated for some time. Her involvement in the Muslim movement long before any of this is well documented. Surprise? Hardly, it has been well known for some time.
