Who is "they" is the question at hand, and from what I've seen, the answer appears to be "black people."

The idea that there must be a leader, or that government-sanctioned murder of black people somehow doesn't matter because a couple early-twenty-somethings got rowdy about their political beliefs is weird to me. People who won't stand for injustice are exactly who I want on my side. Sanders is only worth supporting inasmuch as he also supports #BlackLivesMatter (which I think he very much does).
