Civil rights attorney Leo Terrell calls for a 'frank conversation' about Black Lives Matter's intentions.
Civil rights attorney Leo Terrell slammed Black Lives Matter Thursday as being solely a "fundraising mechanism" following silence from the organization's corporate supporters on the murder rate of Black Americans. On "America's Newsroom," Terrell called for a frank conversation about the intentions of BLM, saying the group is designed to raise money by playing the race card rather than resolve real issues.

It's designed to raise money playing the race card.
