Black Lives Don’t Matter To #BlackLivesMatter

We need to stop pretending that the group “Black Lives Matter” gives a damn about the lives of black people, police brutality, or anything other than hammering huge corporate checks and electing Democrats. This sham of focusing on a dozen or so instances of unarmed black people killed by police (many of whom had cars as weapons) is an insult to the thousands of black lives snuffed out every year by other black people. If you care about black lives you don’t ignore the pile of bodies that could stretch around the globe, which is exactly what everyone marching, rioting, and dancing in the streets are doing. It’s pretty sick.

It’s a great marketing gimmick – come up with a slogan that is basic, simple, and no one disagrees with it. It’s harder to do than you’d think, people make a lot of money doing it. But for every “Where’s the beef?” there are a million “What beer drinkers drink when they’re not drinking beer.” “Black Lives Matter” is brilliant in its simplicity, which is why it works and why leftists latched onto it. But it’s a fraud.

If black lives mattered to Black Lives Matter, with the kind of resources they’re raking in, the amount of good they could do would be immeasurable. Community watch organizations could be started, diversion programs, education initiatives, and rewards could be offered for information leading to the arrest of any of the murderers of any of the thousands, especially black children, killed in cities across the country.

As violent as the Black Panthers were even they did some good for their communities with their breakfast programs for inner city kids and other health initiatives. BLM hasn't done anything positive for the communities or people they claim to serve but stir up trouble and set race relations back to the time of the BPP. I do wonder just where any of the money BLM raises ends up? We do not hear of food programs, educational initiatives, literacy programs, job training assistance to help blacks rise from poverty, drug treatment programs operating in their name.....nothing! So what happens to the money? Anyone thinking that the easiest way to watch them crumble is to start with an IRS audit?

Black lives matter is only for white cops shooting black people. That is it. And maybe climate crisis and pro choice. It has nothing to do with several homicides past few months. Stop asking.

Its a black version of the KKK. Shameful and scary

You're joking right?? Like any other black organization. They don't do squat for anyone but themselves. Look at the John Lewis crowd? The backs don't do anything for blacks. It's not called government assistance for nothing.

The only thing to get is that they are a spin and group of ANTIFA... They’re Marxists. It’s the same playbook from the 1960s counter culture movement sponsored by the USSR now it’s the Cancel culture sponsored by the same people.. you’re being used as tools to undermine your own country causing you and everyone else to suffer in the end ... fools

BLM has killed more blacks and has caused more destruction in black communities then the KKK or white supremacy ever has and ever will. Black lives don't matter. They need to stop that lying. What matters is that they can make it racial. They could care less about black lives. They could care less about black children being gunned down

Totally agree BLM is a sham. It is a popular movement but when one sees the survivors of innocent victims gunned down tell their side they are proof positive that the "movement" does not reach down to them. Further, Elijah Cummings was heralded as a man of the people; seen his district lately? Or how about Pelosi's district? Democrats, including Obama, don't care squat about the plight of the inner cities and prey on pandering for $$ and votes.

A little education goes a long way. Various groups across the country have long been doing these initiatives using money as well as sweat equity to get the job done. Despite the doofus name, "Defund Police", is all about shifting funding for these types of activities so that the police can spend their time actually taking down the bad guys (as opposed to dealing with homeless, crazies, etc.).

Act civilized and you get treated like civilized people. Just head over to Worldstar and you will see first hand how black folks treat each other.

I wish Salisbury News had the checks, etc. All I can say is it was an excellent article and I totally agree.

That money would 95% be pissed away on "administrative fees", while the remaining 5% spent on propaganda. The only people helped would be the usual black wolves in black sheep clothing.

9:34 we know how blacks treat each other and if they were moral people they would be ashamed. Black children getting murdered every day in this country and they could care less. This because it's other blacks gunning down the children. Then they are so sickening they think they are equals. No they are not. When you don't care about the most innocent among you you are not a human being This means you are not equals. You are worthless trash. They may bleed red but they have ugly and evil hearts and God sees and He hates their sinful ways and will continue to punish this disgusting race.

12:25 and most blacks don't get it. This because they have allowed themselves to be extremely dumbed down because they accept sub standard low performing schools. This is more proof that their own children mean nothing to them.

Because they don't want to work for anything. Their churches. Their leaders. Their neighborhood. Teach them to sit back and collect. The DNC are the biggest TRAITORS to our country. There's many Republicans as well. They are ALL CORRUPT.

How much less could they care?

Personally, I could not care less than I care now. Which is not at all.
