No one is trying to justify anything, but people do understand how someone can break mentally emotionally trying to process police brutality. Most Black people IMO have a nightmarish story about some run-in with police in their family history. America should consider itself fortunate more Black folk haven't snapped and gone on killing sprees throughout this nation's history. LOL. I hope some of you see the movie about Nat Turner this fall, Birth Of A Nation.
These people that criticize black lives matter aren't doing anything to help. Most of them are denying that there is a problem with cops targeting blacks. The all lives matter group never protest anything. If all lives mattered they would be out there protesting with the Black lives matter movement.
For those of you that are soo concerned about the crime in Chicago, how about you get your sorry asses out there and protest it. How's that for a novel idea.
And if black lives mattered then they would protest more than only white police or white people shooting black people. That works both ways. Not one March until a white person or cop pulls the trigger.
And if black lives mattered to you, you would be out there protesting.You offer nothing but criticism
You can't complain saying someone is offering a cup that's only half full if your sorry ass is offering nothing.
Simply not true Paniro... "Actually, Blacks Do Care About Black Crime" http://www.slate.com/articles/news_...lack_on_black_crime_suggesting_otherwise.html "Beyond the data, there’s the anecdotal evidence. And in short, it’s easy to find examples of marches and demonstrations against crime. In the last four years, blacks have held community protests against violence in Chicago; New York; Newark, New Jersey; Pittsburgh; Saginaw, Michigan; and Gary, Indiana. Indeed, there’s a whole catalog of movies, albums, and sermons from a generation of directors, musicians, and religious leaders, each urging peace and order. You may not have noticed black protests against crime and violence, but that doesn’t mean they haven’t happened. Black Americans—like everyone else—are concerned with what happens in their communities, and at a certain point, pundits who insist otherwise are either lying or willfully ignorant."
Good article and a great cause now why have the the white on black or cop on black marches had so much more participation and coverage. Now I guess I could agree the media using black people in those instances to hell other ratings. So yeah you're right there have been marches here and there. I fed shouldn't have said there were NONE. Because I simply painted myself in a corner on that one. There have been some yes but not NEARY. To the level generated from a cop or white on black shooting. Why is that?
In my opinion it is because media outlets (especially Fox news) know that they will always get good ratings showing Black victim-hood, crime, degradation, failure, ect., those types of news events always fit the narrative of Black people in general as disfuncional. I would be willing to be that they do not get nearly as good ratings when showing Black accountability, righteousness, solution-oriented events, or progress.
Why pick on Fox News like they are the only one sensationalizing these kinds of stories When cnn msnbc and all of them will run them 24/7 as well.
Exactly. The media is the worst at telling people who to be upset with and who to like etc etc the media chose Hillary Clinton at the beginning of the primary season. They also helped that idiot trump get his nomination. The media is putting races against each other here and most are too damn stupid to realize that. Fox News with its bullshit race baiting and "fair and balanced" bullshit. And all the other news agencies that obviously have an agenda as well.
I included *all* media outlets in my post, i singled out Fox yes, but did not exclude the others as I agree, multiple media outlets are to blame. That being said, I believe TYT are 100% right on as to the Fox news formula to denigrate Black people time and time again on multiple issues. [YOUTUBE]i9xEGbYwIYQ[/YOUTUBE]
Not sure I understand what you are saying, but I think you were calling me a liberal, i'm a registered independent after years of being a registered Republican and working on republican PAC's and campaigns, so if I was right in your assumptions you are way off.
I was walking and texting. I'm saying you said all but you zeroed in on Fox News more for some reason. Fox News is direct in their racism but your liberal slave masters from msnbc cnn and etc are not so direct. I'm independant fuck trump fuck Hillary they both are not in line with my political beliefs. The answer lies in the middle is what I believe but politics have become way to polorized for my liking. Many right wingers hate Obama for him and not his actual policies for them it's personal I don't like that. I disagree with many of his policies but I don't dislike him. We just don't agree politically. Trump is a fucking disaster Cruz would have been also and Hillary I just can't get with and sanders way way too liberal
