Black lives don't matter to black people, obviously. So, why should white people take a special interest in black lives?
I go about my business every day of every week of every year without a nary of concern for "black lives." . Low-life idiots simply are not a concern of mine. Can't adapt to society? Can't stay out of jail? Who gives a crap. Not me. I will carry on regardless of how the losers live their lives.
Exactly.
Blacks are 13% of the population and commit 50% of the murders.
Gun homicides for whites is 2.1 per 100,000
Gun homicides for blacks is 16 per 100,000
So if black lives don't matter to blacks, how do you expect whites to care?

The anti-blackness and racism in this thread makes me cringe. btw, 86% of white victims are killed by whites, is that white on white crime?
Does the "anti-blackness" of black-on-black crime make you cringe as well? If not, why not?
Do you not recognize the overt hypocrisy of the Black Lives Matter "movement?" If not, why not?
(1) The notion of black on black crime and inherent black criminality is associated with the fact that 93% of black victims are killed by blacks. Yet, there is no notion of white on white crime and inherent criminality associated with the fact that 84% of white victims are killed by whites. Understand that most crime is intra-racial, which is a testament to the levels of continued racial segregation.
(2) Please tell me, what is the "overt hypocrisy of the Black Lives Matter movement?"
I will sum this issue in historical context. The life of a Black man has never really mattered. I based this on the things that have taken place from day one. Bigoted behavior towards Blacks is nothing new. Now, issues like out of wedlock births and dropping out of school, I do chalk that up to bad parenting and issues of personal responsibility. Making stupid decisions and being subjected to racism are not the same thing, so they should not be discussed in the same vein. The way I see it, Blacks have always been looked down on and as soon as slavery ended, the idea has been that Blacks are seen as more disposable than ever.

Yes it is, but over 90% of blacks are killed by blacks. And I wasn't being racist, just truthful. I have several friends who are black and they don't blame whites for their problems.

It's not about the statistics. It's why you bring the statistics up. No one brings up anything without a reason. I notice that when people who are Black bring up discrimination and racism, there are those who try to deflect from the subject by bringing up Black on black crime/school dropouts/ out of wedlock births. They have nothing to do with each other. One is about bigoted behavior. The other is about personal responsibility.

Black lives don't seem to matter to black people or they wouldn't keep killing each other in such large numbers. And the thread is about "Blacks Lives Matter".

Actually, it's alot of underclass gang members and generally underclass types who are doing this. The rest of the Black population has nothing to do with killing other Blacks. 6,000 Blacks were murdered, often by other Blacks. This leaves millions more who aren't killing each other, or anyone else.
