Since you don't know the answer to this why don't you walk up to the next black person you see and ask them? Black livse matter to the over whelming majority of black people but there is a small violent minority of people within the community that cause trouble. Things are getting better but not as fast as most of us will like...
This is definitely not true.
If African Americans truly believed that "black lives matter" then there would daily protests over the massive carnage in the black community. Instead there is silence over the many thousands of blacks killed in black communities every year.
But when some horrible thug like Mike Brown tries to kill a cop, and the cop defends himself and kills him, then everyone gets outraged. So basically too many people (both African American and not) are huge hypocrites, and don't believe that "black lives matter".
Essentially, the fact that all of us know about Ferguson, and Baltimore, and the rest, is proof that in the black community, black lives don't matter right now, because the black community ignores the thousands of dead blacks in favor of a few thugs justifiably killed by cops.
Exactly. It's mocking a group of people who are upset. And given what we've seen, they have a right to be, although I get what you're all saying about the hypocrisy.
It just seems unnecessary. Like poking someone just to agitate them.
So this wasn't poking or agitating anyone when some people in Fergson did this:
“We just thought it’d be kind of fun and hilarious to get a pig out here, write Darren Wilson on him, dress him up with a hat and badge and take it from there and get a few laughs, cut him open and gut him and eat him,” said one participant.
So THIS isn't considered 'poking' or 'agitating' other people? But wait I forgot, its just 'black people having some fun' so I guess its perfectly fine for them to do this crap without any reprecussions. >_>
I mean seriously do blacks REALLY think this is the best way to improve police/black relations in Ferguson by doing this? They march and they yell and they demand better treatment from police and at least they do something about it by replacing the old police chief with an interm black police chief and the cops there are also probably going to be more careful when dealing with blacks there now. In return what have blacks done to reach back to police? Apparently nothing as we've seen here. The hypocrisy of blacks is unending it seems and then they wonder why stereotypes of them exist. >_>
And just to add to this point. Hypothetically if police forces around the country overnight completely changed and now cops everywhere deal with black people just as fairly as they do with non-blacks, my question is what will have actually changed? Yes death and injury of black people at the hands of police will go down some, but what else? Will blacks suddenly become more peaceful and less violent? Doubtful. Will they become much more happier and less criminal? Unlikely.
So again what will have actually changed? Other than police treating them better, blacks will STILL continue to treat each other like sh$t and with little respect as they've always had for a very long time now. And if Baltimore is indication, the crime rates will be just as bad if not worse because left on their own, blacks will rarely if ever choose peace over violence. As I've said before, one of the few times you see black people actually work together for any length of time is when they ban together against a common enemy, BUT much like Muslims, once that common enemy is defeated, they usually go back to turning on each other and continue to destroy each other as they've always done.
When do Blacks start believing that Black lives matter ?
Seems some have forgotten we have black police officers......
This group needs to be charged for inciting riots and destroying business. We already know who is sending them, why not charge him and his supporters!
