Speaking where? On their twitter accounts? Of course some are speaking. The problem is that almost no one hear them. For them to be heard they have to say that on major TV channels.
Just show me a link to a TV program where a prominent black figure speaks against BLM or stating that black on black violence is a bigger problem than racist cops killing innocent blacks.
I am all eyes and ears.

That is what happens and I don't blame them. But they can voice their dislike of the situations to the politicians who should be able to speak about it publicly without being afraid of harrasment.

Black people all the time say that they want the policemen, They just dont want them to be rude, abusive, engaging in false arrests, or in extreme instances, kill them.

Nuance is something that some folks just seem capable of. One can support the cops while deploring police abuse.

Ridiculed by who. There are all sorts of community groups dealing with criminal issues so the notion that no one cares about crime is preposterous. Of course you favor blacks being arrested for jay walking while white men in suits do so with pleasure.

upbringing/blacks going to jail....my parents...






. . .were NOT perfect with us, and some areas in parenting that they....missed. BUT they did instill:
say please, thank you, wash your hands before coming to the table...brush, introduced us to a lot
of cultural things....took us so many places....+++


while there are millions of hardworking black families, construction worker, accountant, dr's/nurses,
businessmen, teachers, comedians, astrophysicists,lawyers, judges, elected officials, senator,
TV talk show host, zillionaire rapper, soldiers, police...x-President of the United States,
etc, etc, job/career.

there's a separate culture. gangsta rap was/is a big influence on the 'minority youth,
african-latino community.' rap went from ....soft rap to:





this underlying theme in rap for decades now (of thuggery & violence intermingled with guns).....
the kids love it. ...it's anti-everything that's nice....


this is why i can't believe things. there's a million jobs out there; this, that and the other thing.
don't be guilted into thinking it's - "your fault" or the ‘economy's fault’
(like they DID well into the 90’s and then some) and used that as an excuse for....the problems...
+ who dominates in jails. And if you watch courttv, plenty of whites go to jail too.


...I don't reach for RAP. it's still going strong though. black groups/singers gave me plenty to listen to forever...
some of the best music ever made.




construction worker, accountant, dr's, /nurses, businessmen, teachers, comedians, astrophysicists..., lawyers,
judges, elected officials, senator, TV talk show host, zillionaire rapper, soldiers, police...x-President of the United States--etc, etc, job/career


there's something not right in the kid's household to make THEM go to brighton beach in broad
daylight, walk in, beat up the store employees and swipe 20+ coats. it's...disturbing and it's not
just this one incident - it's years & years of 'these [lifestyle] incidents.'

Why isn't it on the mainstream networks? ABC, NBC and so on where most people get their news and learn how they should think.
If blacks lives really matter then why no one publicly confronts BLM and point to their focusing on the problem that is 100 times less lethal to black community than black on black crime? That is what would count, not some talk on "black media".
If this is so common as you say, why not providing a link to someone confronting BLM in their face on some popular platform? You said you could go all day long. No need to spend so much time, one link would be enough. Because all I hear is about bad racist cops.

You're asking me??? Ask ABC and NBC!

but at the end of the day lets stop playing games with each other.
