Why don't Black Lives Matter protest Blacks Killing Blacks?

[TheProgressivePatriot]

It is the ignorant refrain sung by white racists here at USMB.

Blacks who murder other blacks get prison sentences. This is called justice. Police get paid leave and the pig who murdered George Floyd will get paid pension. Police rarely even get indicted for killing us, much less go to trial. That's not justice. BLM and those supporting this cause are asking that justice be equally applied.

The Black Lives Matter movement is in the national spotlight again this month, following the high-profile killings of two black men by police and the killings of police officers by black men in Dallas and Baton Rouge.

With the movement’s attention comes a familiar refrain: Why doesn’t Black Lives Matter focus on “black-on-black” crime?

It’s a question asked, in various forms, from Facebook to cable networks to comments on this site. The answer, one writer says, is Black Lives Matter isn’t solely focused on the loss of black lives but also on a lack of justice.

“When a civilian has committed a violent crime, they’re generally arrested, tried and then convicted,” Franchesca Ramsey, a writer and activist who discusses race, explains in the MTV series Decoded (which you can watch here in full).

“Conversely, there’s a lot of evidence that it’s very rare to secure an indictment against a police officer for excessive force. And an indictment is just a trial; it isn’t even a conviction.”

“Black Lives Matter isn’t just about the loss of life, which is always terrible. It’s about the lack of consequences when black lives are taken at the hands of police.”

Not all whites are racists, unfortunately non racist whites sometimes bear the burden because of racists. Thank you for not being a racist.

Not all blacks are criminals,unfortunately the ones that aren't bear the burden because of black criminals.
Take BLM for instance. They riot,loot and destroy on live television in large numbers for all to see.
It's a real shame what they're doing to hard working honest blacks.

[Asclepias]

Blacks who kill blacks are prosecuted.

Policemen who kill unarmed blacks usually aren’t.

Its even worse when the cops help a drug kingpin kill off his competition.

The vast majority of Black on Black murders go unresolved. You know this, get real. One of the main reasons they go unresolved is the refusal of the good people living in the inner cities to give police any information on the murderers.

Besides that, if BLM was truly concerned about the "Black Lives" doesn't that also mean quality of life? Why wouldn't they be marching in protest of the appalling conditions of the inner cities? Those are the spawning beds for nearly all of the gang related and random Black on Black murders. You are doing a disservice to your own people by accepting what the Democrat leaders allow to happen year after year in those war zones.

BLM would at least have SOME credibility if they marched in Chicago, Baltimore, Oakland, LA, etc. protesting the Democrat shit holes where these poor people have to try and live.

Bullshit. If they go unsolved its because the cops were involved. No one is going to be stupid enough to snitch and get their family wiped out because a cop told the killer who snitched.

 

[wamose]

Black lives matter doesn't really stand for what they think. BLM is being used by rich White Marxists to overthrow our system of government. Antifa is also being used. This isn't about social justice, or justice for George Floyd, or systemic racism. It's about a bunch of White, totalitarian elitists trying to take this country over. And, God forbid, they would ever be successful, Blacks and Antifa would be the ones crying the loudest.

So you mean the repub voting KKK and other white supremacist groups are just pretending to hate us Black people? Can you explain how you came to that conclusion?

 

[Big Black Dog]

Dead blacks are meaningless unless a white guy caused the death. To prove this point simply look at Chicago.

Almost all are unsolved because blacks won’t snitch lol again your wrong

It’s a question asked, in various forms, from Facebook to cable networks to comments on this site. The answer, one writer says, is Black Lives Matter isn’t solely focused on the loss of black lives but also on a lack of justice.

“When a civilian has committed a violent crime, they’re generally arrested, tried and then convicted,” Franchesca Ramsey, a writer and activist who discusses race, explains in the MTV series Decoded (which you can watch here in full).

“Conversely, there’s a lot of evidence that it’s very rare to secure an indictment against a police officer for excessive force. And an indictment is just a trial; it isn’t even a conviction.”

“Black Lives Matter isn’t just about the loss of life, which is always terrible. It’s about the lack of consequences when black lives are taken at the hands of police.”

Why Black Lives Matter doesn't focus on ‘black-on-black’ crime

Black criminals get charged with crimes, one writer notes, but police officers rarely do.

The vast majority of Black on Black murders go unresolved. You know this, get real. One of the main reasons they go unresolved is the refusal of the good people living in the inner cities to give police any information on the murderers.

Besides that, if BLM was truly concerned about the "Black Lives" doesn't that also mean quality of life? Why wouldn't they be marching in protest of the appalling conditions of the inner cities? Those are the spawning beds for nearly all of the gang related and random Black on Black murders. You are doing a disservice to your own people by accepting what the Democrat leaders allow to happen year after year in those war zones.

BLM would at least have SOME credibility if they marched in Chicago, Baltimore, Oakland, LA, etc. protesting the Democrat shit holes where these poor people have to try and live.

Bullshit. If they go unsolved its because the cops were involved. No one is going to be stupid enough to snitch and get their family wiped out because a cop told the killer who snitched.

So it will be solved if the cops don't get involved?

If the cops arent the ones that told the killer who snitched they will gladly put a Black person in prison to feed the Industrial Prison Complex. Thats like a 2 fer. They get 2 Black people off the street for the price of one.

And that response in no way answers the question I asked.

Then that means your question has nothing to do with what I am saying. So if you want to play semantics then lets play.

Then you shouldn't of responded to my question if it has nothing to do with what you are saying.

I had something important to say so I took advantage of the opportunity. You arent the only one reading this thread.

All lives matter.
