Do black lives really matter?

Black lives matter... That phrase is all over social media these days. Problem is, black lives only seem to matter when they are killed by a white cop. Where is BLM when blacks are killing each other in Chicago EVERY SINGLE DAY? Where were they when a black retired officer was killed trying to defend a friend's store that was being looted and destroyed by rioters? Where were they when a food truck vendor was killed while trying to make a living during these violent "protests"?

If you're going to claim black lives matter then you'd better be just as outraged by blacks killed by blacks as you are those killed by a white cop. You'd better be even more enraged when black business owners are attacked and their stores destroyed in the midst of your "protest".

These people are destroying their own neighborhoods, for what? What lesson does that teach corrupt cops? What change does that make when you continue to vote in the same democrats year after year when they continue to do nothing for your community? Do you know what your violent actions show the rest of the world? It shows me that you are vile, inhumane people that don't give a shit about George Floyd. You wanted a crisis so you could continue to play the victim while blaming everyone else for your failures. You're using George's death as an excuse to violate the rights of others while claiming that yours have been taken away. 

You want to know why so many folks are leery of black people? Because of folks like those that are "protesting" by attacking other people. By ruining the livelihoods of people that had nothing to do with George's death. The looting of stores caused businesses to shut down, putting people out of work. So all you've done in your search for "justice" is make yourselves look like animals, lose support from over half the country and hurt thousands of innocent people, many of whom are black as well. 

You have a right to be irate. Your anger is justified. What happened to George Floyd should have never been allowed and the entire country is in agreement that these officers should be charged with murder. You DO NOT have the right to infringe on other people's rights in order to express that anger. At least not without consequences. 

So, if you're going to attack innocent people & businesses, burn down buildings and disregard barriers and requests from law enforcement that are in place to keep people safe...don't complain when people fight back. Don't play the victim or cry injustice when a business or homeowner shoots someone for attacking their home or store. Don't cry about excessive force when you get in a cops face in an attempt to push through a security barrier and they pepper spray you or throw you down and arrest you.

We are through with your excuses. There is no reason for police brutality. There's even less reason for these riots and attacks that are happening as a result. You must learn that your vote is the most powerful tool of all if you want change. It's time to clean house and get rid of the folks that have been telling you what's best for many years. Stop blindly following what they say. Do some research and vote for the change you claim you want. Because the current method you're employing leads me to believe you like playing the victim. 

Black man kills cop, then self, people still blame cops

So, a 17 year old gang member, that had recently been charged as an adult for other offenses ran from a cop, killed the cop, then killed himself...and there are folks that still insinuate this is the cops fault.

I guess if the cop had just let the criminal go this wouldn't have happened, until the next time he gets stopped and a different cop gets the same treatment. At least in this case, this jackass had the good sense to off himself in the process.

This "advocate" claims they have been trying to talk to police about the way young black men are treated. Maybe they should talk to the young black men about how they treat other people.

No hate crime against whites?

Let me be clear, I don't believe there should be such as thing as a "hate crime". A crime is a crime and the punishment should be the same, no matter why you committed it. That being said, this story specifically says this is not a hate crime so I have to ask...
WHY THE HELL NOT?

If the allegations these black women made had been true you can bet your ass the white folks would have been charged with hare crimes. Why is it not considered a hate crime for black people to falsely accuse a white person of racially motivated attacks and it not be considered racially motivated?

The racial issue was started by these black women when they made the 911 call. Their claims were deemed unfounded due to multiple witness testimonies and video footage. Clearly their false claims were motivated by race. Why the double standard?

This is why people don't take the BLM movement seriously and why I don't trust all the claims of harassment and discrimination. Too many reports that turn out to be false. Stop sabotaging yourselves, black people. All this discrimination and segregation that you're batching about is brought on by your own horrid behavior and lies.

All Lives...are racist??

Based on some recent posts, I'd say it's more like "BLACK LIVES ARE RACIST"

As we've all seen, the world is filled with entitled brats that want everything for free and can't handle the stress of a world where everyone doesn't love and adore them. Similarly entitled is the BLM movement and their folks that cry racism at being excluded. Unfortunately, their tactics of attempting to exclude others to gain inclusion is pretty much a bust.

It's hypocritical to accuse white people of not letting you join their club and then form your own and refuse to allow white people in. That's a pretty childish move and makes it impossible for people to take you or your cause seriously.

In this article, we find out that saying "all lives matter" is now considered racist. Wow, I'd like to know when they changed the definition of the term racist because that's not what it meant when I was growing up.

This young woman goes on to claim that white people couldn't possibly understand what it's like to grow up where people hate you or to struggle, be exposed to crime, etc. Hmmmm, let's think about that...shall we?

- Based on a good number of the self posted videos I see from predominately black neighborhoods, you folks act like a bunch of violent thugs with no regard for human life. You think watching 4 people beat the hell out of one lone person is funny and you'd rather record it than step in to help.

- There are always people in this world that are going to hate you for one reason or another. If they are not physically harming you in some way...why the hell do you care? Get over it.

- When things don't go your way, work for change. Rioting, looting and destroying your own city just reinforces the stereotype that you're all a bunch of low life punks that don't deserve our respect. You want to be treated differently? Act differently. Take the proper steps to make change, even if you don't agree with the process...do it and then you can try to change that process. Breaking the law is not the answer.

- This woman claims black people are getting shot in the streets. Well, since the majority of those shootings are black on black crime, I think you're going to have to work that out for yourselves.

- Blacks are not being rounded up and thrown in prison. Well, it may seem that way since a disproportionately large percentage of blacks are convicted of crimes. Want to know how to fix that? STOP.BREAKING.THE.LAW!!!

Now, since it's pretty clear to see that the folks in the BLM movement, and their supporters, are their own worst enemy...when can we get back to normal life and stop fighting among ourselves? When will you stop blaming other people for your failures in life? When will you take responsibility for your own life and realize that it's not fair and that's the way it'll always be. GET OVER IT!
