How do "black lives matter" when African Americans don't even care about each others own lives?

[BlackBeauty90]

First off I'm African, not American African. I grew up in Europe & moved to America. And I don't understand this attitude...

Black Lives Matter in what sense? They kill, rape, damage the property, etc. of their own brethren more than whites, Hispanics or others do

Chicago > black on black homicide is SIXTY - 60 - TIMES MORE than white on black. For the simpletons that means for 1 black man a white guy kills --- 60 blacks are killed by blacks.

And for the bitches whining blacks are more jailed than whites... well statistics says otherwise > https://www.ojjdp.gov/ojstatbb/crime/ucr.asp?table_in=2 .

Below 3 black men killed by, guess what, black guy

They don't matter anymore than anyone else

BLM is a cry by criminals to make them seem the victims

People say that BLM is about police brutuality.

Have you ever watched the news? Blacks are more likely to run from the police than act like decent law obeying citizens. Now. Do you honestly think if African Americans behaved like LAW OBEYING citizens there'd be so much "police brutality".

[DaisyM23]

Of course all lives matter, but I think BLM is more targeting police brutality and the institutional racism, particularly in America. I mean the movement started when a TEENAGER was murdered and his killer was found not guilty - it's that kinda thing that pisses people off you know? It has definitely become more politicized, and there are definitely problems surrounding the movement. I can understand why people do this - BLM especially spurred off during lockdown and Trump's presidency and people were frustrated and upset - people generally turn to violence in their desperation.

[joeldalton]

A teenager that was killed because he was brutally beating a man who acted in self defense.

[DaisyM23]

@joeldalton so that excuses murder? and Zimmerman was part of the neighbourhood watch too, he couldn't find a way to disarm a person without shooting first?

[joeldalton]

It wasn't a murder. Use the correct terminology. And you are really showing your age and ignorance. If someone is beating you and smashing your head into concrete - you're supposed to just let it happen rather then offend the sensibilities of liberals?

[DaisyM23]

@joeldalton i just don't think it's as black and white as you're making it out to be

[joeldalton]

@DaisyM23 you're the one making it "black and white" - literally. I'm giving you the facts of the case as determined by the evidence and explained during the trial. You're giving bullshit that you were fed by claiming it was an innocent black teenager brutally murdered by a white (even though Zimmerman is hispanic) man who got off scott free.

[DaisyM23]

@joeldalton i know zimmerman's not white, and excuse me for thinking it's not okay to murder teenagers? and especially feeling sorry for a dead boy who should be older than me now

[joeldalton]

What you're saying is that a 17 year old boy breaks into your house, starts raping and beating your mom, and your dad pulls him off and beats him to death that you will sit on the internet and whine that some poor dead boy was murdered by your dad?

[DaisyM23]

@joeldalton i would be horrified that a 17 year old boy did that and is dead and I would hate him for that, and perhaps he deserves death if he was raping my mum, but that's not at all what happened is it? the worst zimmerman got was what, a broken nose? if everyone had a gun in a fist fight, then there'd be far fewer people in the world

[joeldalton]

@DaisyM23 if someone is slamming your head into concrete, they are intending to kill you. Period. Zimmerman acted legally in self defense. You would do the same thing in his position.

[DaisyM23]

@joeldalton i wouldn't carry a gun and neither would i instigate a fight - easy to claim self defence when there's one side of the story

[joeldalton]

It’s also easy to claim self defense when you have injuries consistent with someone trying to beat the shit it of you. Again; your advice is that we should take the beating.

[DaisyM23]

@joeldalton no my advice is don't get yourself into a situation like that - I'm sure zimmerman wasn't all innocent in who instigated the fight - and my other advice would be to change gun laws in america so kids don't get killed so often

[joeldalton]

@DaisyM23 what situation is that? A situation where you have to patrol your neighborhood because there’s an increase in crime? Yeah, it’d be nice if criminals would just destroy their homes.

My advice is that you grow up a bit and understand how the real world works.

[DaisyM23]

@joeldalton a situation of not racially profiling and following someone around yes
my advice to you would be to have a bit more heart

[joeldalton]

@DaisyM23 I have plenty of heart. I care about innocent people not going to jail (like Zimmerman). I care about the families who ever felt fear in their own homes because of crime increases. You have no evidence that there was racial profiling. Your whole world view is this: something happens to black person = racism. It's a toddler's understanding of the world.

[DaisyM23]

@joeldalton i think you're the one with the wrong world view, not everything that happens to a POC is racism I'm not stupid. and crime increasing still doesn't excuse the murder of a teenager, do you not feel sorry for Martin's family? you claim to care about innocent people but that's not what's coming across

[joeldalton]

@DaisyM23 you keep forgetting

1) it wasn't murder
2) Trayvon Martin was trying to kill a man when he was killed.

When you want to accept those two facts, we'll keep going.

[DaisyM23]

@joeldalton well I don't accept those 'facts' so I guess this is goodbye - bye

[joeldalton]

@DaisyM23 You not accepting them doesn't make them any less true. Remain ignorant at your own peril.

[DaisyM23]

@joeldalton sure

[Agagagagaga]

@DaisyM23 Of course you won’t accept the facts. They disagree with the narrative that you’ve let yourself be brainwashed into believing.

Just save us all a load of time and say that you don’t think people should ever defend themselves in case someone gets killed. If it’s them or you, I guess letting them kill you is the progressive thing to do.

[BlackBeauty90]

@DaisyM23 - have you ever watched the news? Blacks are more likely to run from the police than act like decent law obeying citizens. Now. Do you honestly think if African Americans behaved like LAW OBEYING citizens there'd be so much "police brutality".

[PatriceONeal]

@joeldalton factual statement. Facts are stubborn things.

[PatriceONeal]

The black community was actually better under. l Jim crow, than it is now. More marriages and whole families. More income. Leas crime. Once they handed the black family to the black mothers, it crumbled into the state its in now. The "free" black woman is the terror of the black community.

[BlackBeauty90]

@DaisyM23 - and yet if African Americans were not prone to running, etc. there'd be no reason for this "police brutality". Why after all can the same cops & the same departments have no issues with Hispanics, Asians and other whites. But you get blacks who are more prone to running away, more prone to having guns on them, etc there's suddenly "police brutality". Is it reality or is it just cops trying to take in criminals that are DANGEROUS.

And with people like Floyd he was hardly an angel. Did he deserve to die that way. No.

[FunkyMonkee]

EXACTLY!!
As for the term, "African-American", they weren't born in Africa so, they are simply AMERICANS!! I notice that Jamaicans are also called, "African-Americans". WHY? Just because they have the same look and colour?
There were a number of small black-owned shops during the riots a couple years ago that got destroyed! Funny how THOSE black lives didn't matter! There was also a black security guard and a number of black cops that were murdered or at least hurt,. weren't those lives black enough?
I have to wonder if blacks in other countries act the same way as those over here?
A lot of people today are complaining about how terrible guns are but they don't seem to have anything to say about them when it's a black person doing the killing. ESPECIALLY when it's another black person that they just killed!!

[NamerOfStars]

"Black lives matter" is a political slogan, and as an organization, a political tool. Nothing more. While there are no doubt well-intentioned members of the organization, expecting it to be anything more is setting yourself up for disappointment. I'm not inherently opposed to investigating police use of excessive force, and making some changes, if that's appropriate, but if black lives matter, then they MATTER, full stop- even if they're not resisting arrest, and *even if it's not an election year*.

[katiesmuff]

I couldn't agree with you more and find it shameful.

[BlackBeauty90]

have you ever watched the news? Blacks are more likely to run from the police than act like decent law obeying citizens. Now. Do you honestly think if African Americans behaved like LAW OBEYING citizens there'd be so much "police brutality".

[katiesmuff]

I think it would help a bunch. If the blacks would behave better the attitude with police would change as well.

[HormoneGuy]

One of the BLM founders is a Marxist.
While this doesn't mean the organization is communist, that does hurt image.
In America per capita, Asians experience more hate crimes then African Americans. (according to data from the DoJ and Census burro+some math in the google calculator)
Blacks killing blacks isn't talked about because that hurts the liberal medias image of every white is evil and bent on oppressing the world.
The media also spins facts like how blacks are more likely to go to jail, but leaves out key details like how their are more police in black neighborhoods.
Its like with covid. If a country never tests, then they would have 0 cases right? But the country that tests everyone would have way more cases.
Police are also more likely to be suspicious of blacks, which would lead to more checks, which going back to the testing analogy, would lead to more arrests as more tests are being done.

[exitseven]

BLM is a scam. The principals are all buying mansions and living large. Anyone who would send them ten cents is an idiot.
It is just another way for the democrats to cause more division and racism in America. They could really care less about black lives.

This is what BLM is all about.

[PatriceONeal]

It's easier for blacks to take up the role as victim rather than take on the large responsibility of cleaning up their culture and households. They still cry about systemic racism as if only black people are minorities in america and not every other race on the planet. Greatest country on earth and yet they commit crime at record proportions and cry foul when they get called put on out because again, muh racism..

[Anonymous]

You're a good example of the difference between black Americans who grew up in the US versus those who came here from other countries. You see what's actually happening here without the tainted view of someone who has been brainwashed since birth by liberal politicians and media to believe black Americans are victims.

[Jennz6]

I’m a White girl and I think all lives matter. @BlackBeauty90 you make a very intelligent opinion. I would like to talk to you more. Will you please 🙏 follow me back so we can talk?

[joeldalton]

BLM is nothing more than a money laundering scheme for the democrat party. They were quiet as soon as biden got elected; but as soon as the midterms start firing up we'll hear more from them.

[fireforeffect]

Black Lives Matter is a Marxist organization bent on destroying the Republic of the United States. It no more cares for black lives than any other lives.

[Pterodon]

Black lives only matter if a black criminal is killed by a white cop

[Anonymous]

Good question, BLM is a joke in my opinion.
