The rise in homicides in America from 2014 to 2016 is almost a perfect match with the spike in media use of the phrase "black lives matter".

Interesting, the lack of media interest in pinpointing causes of the sudden 20% increase in the American homicide rate during 2014-15. It's gone down a little lately but still well above the 2010-2014 norm. Close to 10,000 extra murders over the past 4 years...

The democrats have already squeezed all the outrage juice from the black victim narrative, so the african americans are no longer of any use to them. That's why the fake news doesn't give a **** about blacks anymore. Right now, it's all about immigrants and "refugees".

Blacks must not care about blacks either. Most homicides are blacks killing blacks.

Like Republicans care about African Americans?
Only when they are tokens to fit their narrative.

Republicans believe that smart AA's can think for themselves. Smart blacks know how to succeed, and they will leave their ghetto counterparts in the dust. They do not need the Democrat plantation.

By Wesley Lowery, Steven Rich and Salwan Georges December 27

… As Baltimore has seen a stunning surge of violence, with nearly a killing each day for the past three years in a city of 600,000, homicide arrests have plummeted. City police made an arrest in 41 percent of homicides in 2014; last year, the rate was just 27 percent, a 14 percentage point drop.
Of 50 of the nation’s largest cities, Baltimore is one of 34 where police now make homicide arrests less often than in 2014, according to a Washington Post analysis.
