Who Ever Said, Black Lives DON'T Matter?
The #BlackLivesMatter "Movement" Has No Leadership, Little Direction & Zero Legitimate Support. Outsider's Continue To Pillage #Ferguson
I canβt recall ever meeting someone who didnβt subscribe to the notion that βall lives matter.β Iβm also fairly certain that most who saw the Eric Garner arrest video wish the outcome differed. I guarantee that cop does. We wouldnβt know either of their names today if Garner had lived.
On the other hand, few were surprised by the deaths of Mike Brown, Antonio Martin, Jerame Reid and countless other lawbreakers who died while unnecessarily putting the lives of others at risk. Had they not, they too would be nameless to us. The fact they they were black is purely coincidence.
I have little sympathy for murderers, rapists, gun-yielding thugs or law breakers of any color. Even less for suspects who canβt obey the simple commands that most two year old golden retrievers can like βsitβ and βdonβt move.β

Tamir Riceβs death was unfortunate. But, can we not legitimately question why a kid was at the park carrying a VERY real looking gun in one of the most crime-ridden neighborhoods in America? Albeit not entirely culpable, the obvious lack of parental guidance is undeniable.
#BlackLivesMatter would prefer you focus solely on these individualβs skin color and not mention the fact that cops shoot white people too. That messes up their one-sided narrative.

What I cannot understand is why #BlackLivesMatter has now co-joined its own self-inflicted agenda with every other social cause. Twitter canβt possibly handle the hashtag character requirements to include the Asian, Chinese, lesbian, bi-sexual, gay, transgender, disabled and everything else crowd theyβve attached themselves to. For all we know, gluten-free people are now part of this cause.
But again, no one ever suggested that those lives donβt also matter.
#BlackLivesMatter believes they achieve some noble victory whenever they point out a white not killed during police apprehension. They are completely wrong. Thereβs not a person I know who would care if Aurora Police had killed James Holmes. I wish they had. And this latest idiot, Craig Hicks? Go ahead and shoot him too.
So who really is sitting on the moral upper deck here?
The fact is, there are bad βeverythingβs.β Let me explain.
There are bad teachers, doctors, lawyers, dentists, engineers, journalists, architects, barbers, chefs, etc. Equally, there are βbadβ whites and βbadβ blacks and as logic dictates, even some βbadβ cops. Would you really refuse necessary medical care from all doctors because you heard that one, a completely different one, was bad?
#BlackLivesMatterβs consistently classifies ALL law enforcement as evil. But, this doesnβt preclude them from calling 911 and expecting a presence in their neighborhoods, when needed.
Did you ever experience a βbadβ waitress yet return to that eatery again with no problem? All people have a bad day. I clearly am right now.
This #BlackLivesMatter mindset proves to us who the true racists are: them. The coined phrase is βrace baitingβ and none have perfected it to the levels that Jesse and Al did. Of late some are trying, including NYTimes columnist Charles Blow (who is promoting a book) and the self-appointed Ferguson protest organizers. They ALL have the same end game: Money. Conflict pays damn well. Ask George Soros.
The #Ferguson βmovementβ itself is a bust. Nothing is happening there. The DOJ cleared Officer Darren Wilson and no amount of vandalism or looting will bring Mike Brown back. Meanwhile, St Louis crime rates clearly illustrate that black lives donβt matter to many black people as they continue murdering their own. If young black males are being stereotyped itβs due to their behaviors, not racism.
The movementβs fame-seeking whore mongers like Deray McKesson, Charles Wade, Johnetta Elzie and Shaun King (also promoting a book) have no credibility outside of their βpurchasedβ Twitter followers, most who appear to have equally meaningless lives. There was a brief glimmer of hope that some local Ferguson, on-the-ground leadership was emerging but that quickly fizzled. The outside, paid idiots will continue to exploit #Ferguson nationally until someone stops them. Theyβre even planning a Ferguson βSpring Breakβ event. Can you imagine?
There are many questions evolving around monies collected in the name of Ferguson and how the funds were distributed, if at all. The amounts claimed are substantial. If Charles Wadeβs #OperationHelpOrHush really did use donations for leased condos, televisions and fancy dining out, the real residents of Ferguson donβt appear to have been the beneficiaries. Rumor has it the FBI is finally involved.
McKessonβs days at the Mineapolis Public School System as a HR Director are finally winding down. Where he lands should help identify which community is next to be destroyed. Some are betting St. Louis, though I believe that improbable without a meal ticket and local support. He may migrate east again, possibly to hometown Baltimore. No way heβll ever return to NYC and find a welcoming committee.
McKessonβs most prolific tweets of late have been those calling the police corrupt and the βnew face of organized crime in America. β In another, he agrees to meet a βfollowerβ if they promise theyβre βnot with the FBI.β Heβs done a fine job encouraging others to break the law while posting videos of them doing so. Other than his job loss, which is significant, heβs remained unscathed. Handcuffs would be a nice fashion compliment to the blue vest and red shoes. This is the guy who justified looting. And, many contend Derayβs antics and the #BlackLivesMatter narrative led to the murder of NYPD officers last year. I believe that.
A recent irony with McKesson was his inclusion on a βNational Policingβ task force panel. He spent the day harshly criticizing the law enforcement participants via Twitter. His mean-spiritedness is rivaled only by Elzieβs infatuation with Joanne Chesimard aka Assata Shakur. She still credits this convicted cop killer as a βfaceβ of the movement. To add insult to injury, they recently started selling shirts in her name.
On the national front, not only did Oprah shun these disruptors, Al Sharpton slammed them, calling them βpimpβs and hoβs.β And despite his efforts, McKesson was trumped by Jesse Jackson on the Little League disaster, who beat him to the punch using race as the disqualifying factor versus the actuality of failing to follow rules.
When will #BlackLivesMatter assume responsibility for their own actions, their own children and more importantly their own lives? Continually reminding us about slavery is a moot point and chanting βfree our chainsβ just sounds stupid. We still have a black President and many successful, law-abiding black people but thatβs not enough. βTheyβ want more. But more of just what, they are not quite sure. In fact, no one really is. McKesson often tweets that slavery βreparationsβ are owed to all blacks. Good luck with that.
There is a trend of late as what I interpret to be increased hatred and hostility amongst races. Sure, racisim has always existed to some degree, just like sexism and phobias. But these #Ferguson and #BlackLivesMatter unlawful protests, ludicrous demands and ridiculous, inciteful social media posts only cause people to judge and despise others as a race, not individually. Thatβs unfortunate.
So, why does mainstream media STILL refuse to show the carnage and destruction left by the protesters? Many news articles focus only on crimes involving white officers and black suspects when in reality, there are bad people amongst all races. Iβm not aware of any single race, sex, sexual preference, religion, mentality or disabled group that hasnβt had a βmemberβ who committed a crime, even a heinous one, against another. While that alone doesnβt jusity their actions, it does shed light on the fact that no one is perfect and, some people are just plain crazy.
Last weekend, protesters desecrated the Denver Police Memorial and the American Flag. Several arrests were made. The union is now calling for the outster of the Chief Robert White, which is preposterous. Still, one must wonder when law enforcement is going to end these shenanigans. Bloomington, MN took a stand by charging disruptive protesters. Boston did as well. St Louis has been very lax, with Mayor Slay proving himself impotent and ineffective. And, despite the NYPD and MTA banning protests in Grand Central, they continue to occur while the police stand around and watch. Nice job, deBlasio.
The fact is, every single βmovementβ including Occupy (Wall St) has jumped on this bandwagon of hate and is using #BlackLivesMatter as their current platform of disruption. And Black Lives Matter gladly accepts them to spread the contagion.
Frankly, I donβt think many of the protesters hate what theyβre protesting because they donβt even know what it is. Evidence of that is found right here when a chanting protester asks, βWho the f*ck is Mike Brown?β This is important so please stop, watch, watch again and then continue.
Overall, Iβd bet most protesters just dislike their own lives. Like Noah McKenna, the 28-year old unemployed Boston βOccutardβ loser who lives with his parents. A lot of their personal failures are quite apparent by prior arrest records.
But NOTHING truly captured the spirit of #BlackLivesMatter like watching the white man bashed in the head with a hammer by blacks, despite his wearing a shirt saying βPolice, Stop Killing Black Men.β Only present to support them, their reaction to him was pure, brute violence. THAT completely summed up βthe movementβ for me.
They would do it to you too.
Iβd be more impressed if βyou peopleβ focused on something else, maybe β#MyLifeMatters.β Start by taking personal responsibility for your own actions and lives. Β My God, be accountable. Β Thatβs more respectable than acting like complete jackasses to the rest of the world while ruining your own communities.
But hey, Iβm just one guy, yβall.
Until. Next. Time.
