DeRay McKesson is a popular openly gay Black Lives Matter activist. He’s
been in the fore front of the fight against police brutality of black
men but for some reason, he doesn’t get much support from other black
men in the US. Over the weekend, he was arrested and put in jail over
night in Baton Rouge while protesting the Alton Sterling killing. While
in Jail, DeRay took his Twitter account to drum up support for himself
from behind bars but not too many people cared that he was arrested. His
own friends had to bail him out the next day.
After he was released, a few supporters wondered why DeRay didn’t get
much support even from social media. One Twitter explained why. See what
he wrote and tell us if you agree with him below..
