BLM Crashes Festival For Kids With Cancer

It’s that time of year once again. The time for people to put aside

their differences and celebrate another year and a fantastic Christmas. For residents in West Allis, Wisconsin, Christmas is more than presents, it’s a time to decorate outlandishly and help raise money for children battling cancer. But this year it was something different as Black Lives Matter took it upon themselves to crash the Christmas tradition and remind people that Black Lives still matter.

Known as Candy Cane Lane, the celebration of life first started in 1984 when residents decided to collect donations for the MACC fund, also known as the Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer Inc. 

The collection was first started when one of the neighbor’s kids was diagnosed with cancer and has since grown into a city-wide event that attracts citizens from all over the state. The residents collaborate over the coming months to put on the display and all they ask in return are for small donations that will go towards finding a cure for childhood cancers.

As for the Candy Cane Lane Festival, the Black Lives Matter protestors decided that Black lives were more important than fighting cancer. 

While Christmas music played over the intercoms, the protestors marched and chanted using bullhorns, yelling at cars and onlookers as they passed by.
