Less likely said democrats who love the vice president. To up against Hillary Clinton the democrats debate again in a month. The republicans again in 2 week a student from Drake University got to personally ask the candidates a question. Sterling Arthur Wilkins is studying law at drake. This is what he wanted to know. My question for the candidates is do black lives matter of do all lives matter . The question brought applause from the crowd in las vegas. And differing stances from the candidates on the stage. We caught up with wilkins between classes at drake this afternoon. He says he was actually surprised to see his question made it in. I actually did not know it was going to happen, and i actually did not see myself ask the question. I had the debate i was streaming it on my computer while i was studying, but i had it on mute, and all the sudden, my cell phone started blowing up with Text Messages and calls from people, letting me know they just saw me on tv. So that was a nice surprise. 01 24 wilkins says he chose to ask the question the way he did because he wanted to see which candidates supported his stance, which is that institutionalized racism in america has devalued black lives. He says he doesnt believe candidates had to choose between black lives matter and all lives matter. Matter, the candidates on the stage had to discuss the importance of the black lives matter movement. Wilkins says he was satisfied with most of the answers to his question. And he feels Hillary Clinton had the best answer. But she did not utter the phrase, black lives matter, when answering the question. But she did mention that there is a need for a new new deal for communities of color, which i think is important because that sort of espouses the principle that i was trying to elicit in the responses from the candidates. Which is that government needs to play a role in rectifying the severe Racial Disparities that exist between blacks and whites and other minorities in this country. 01 26 wilkins also had praise for Bernie Sanders response to his question, wilkins also had praise for Bernie Sanders response to his question, noting the senator did use the phrase black lives matter.

He later defended the statement saying the message was meant to deplore a brutal dictatorship. Though his original tweet didnt mention any dictators.
