Black Lives do Matter but they FAIL when they won't address or hold black men accountable for their violent behavior. Sadly, black men in large, reap most of the terror on their own community. Until BLM addresses that, I can't support.

If that statement were true, in 2015 there would have been approx. 182 unarmed blacks killed. However, statistics show 102.
And in some cases, when it was stated as unarmed, the did not have a gun, they might have had a knife, club or like one a few weeks ago, a steel pipe. Got news for you, come after me with a steel pipe, knife, club, etc., and I have the legal right to defend myself with my handgun and I'm not a cop.

And I don't care who you are, what color you are, if you are stupid enough to bring a club, knife, pipe, etc., to a gun fight, you just dead stupid!

OP, simply watch South Park episode where Stan has practically same conversation with Token Black. Kyle was badly trying to "get it" till he finally realized that he can not. South Park has a lot of good wisdom in it.

How can BLM hold black men accountable for violent behavior? What the heck do you think, that blacks have some kind of hive mentality and can know and somehow control the actions of all other blacks? How about holding all Trump supporters responsible for the yahoo who slugged the black kid, shouldn't each and every one of them apologize and take action to make sure that no one at a Trump rally ever does such a thing again? See how absurdly ridiculous that is?

"Black Lives Matter" protesters don't know why they are there. Pay attention to the live news reports and when a reporter walks up to a protester and starts asking them questions some one else will rush over to the mic to do the talking. The ones that get to mic are paid disrupters and organizers with preplan statements.

The protesters are just uninformed lemmings for the rich men behind the curtain pulling the strings.

No one has done this yet but if the inciters of the movement were identified it would become apparent that these same people go from one city to another to do the same thing.

When the 99% were doing their camp-ins, a few reporters actually commented that they were seeing the same people in several of the different cities. As soon as this became common knowledge and was reported on the 24 hour news channels the camp-ins stopped almost over night. The powers behind this needed to end it before they were discovered.

The Trump rally supporters would have to be the same thing. The protests started in Chicago and have followed Trump across the country, this has to be organized. At every rally the protesters have had Berny Sanders signs and "T" shirts. There are a few left wing organizations that have been associated with these events and they always ether start a movement like "Black lives Matter" or the 99% to hide their agenda.

The majority of the protesters in the crowds have no clue that they are being used and they don't know why they are protesting.

In rap music there is a whole trend of calling Chicago Chiraq so they nicknamed their own city to be as violent as Iraq and rap about it glorifying it. So after all of this they still interrupt rallies for Bernie and Trump with the black lives matter bs. How ironic is that? Black lives matter! then they hop in the car and crank up the rap music.
1. Approximately 20% of White Trump supporters feel slavery should not have been ended.

2. One of the most popular forms of "White music" a few years back was acid rock.

Wanna make some broad generalities about White people?

Do you honestly think that the majority of Blacks fit your description?

Touch a nerve? In your feelings?

Who's absolving the behavior of some of the Trump supporters? Some of us can do more than one thing at a time. Do you live on the South side of Chicago? West Baltimore? East LA? East Cleveland? East Atl? the Bronx, NY? N. Philadelphia? etc. If not, please don't compare being pushed, slugged or shouted down to living in a gang infested, bullet flying urban city warzone!

Yes, the black community needs to address the criminal behavior of black men who terrorize the black community. If they can stand at the podium and claim to be the victim of every other ethnicity they can address their own too. And they can start with speaking on and condemning the 'stop snitching' mentality. A mentality which holds their own citizens hostage to the criminals in their neighborhoods. Without the help of the community the police are often at a serious disadvantage when trying to eradicate crime and make the community safe.

Why do folks like you always think of the "Black community" as the ghetto.

How about Prince Georges County, Maryland outside the Beltway as just one example of a middle-class mostly Black community?
