The father of a black teen murdered by an illegal immigrant in 2008 told "Fox & Friends" on Sunday that because his son's case was not a matter of police brutality, he received no support from the Black Lives Matter Movement and was forced to mourn on the "sidelines" by African-American leaders.

"It seems like Black Lives Matter only focuses on black people who were murdered by the police," Jamiel Shaw said. "You know, my son was murdered in 2008, and I reached out to anybody that would listen, especially black people, because I thought for sure I would have a lot of support in the black community.
Funny how the MSM isn't promoting riots, looting and arson for this case.

That’s because illegal immigrant = good, and cop = bad.

For some odd reason many blacks don't even care about illegal immigration. Is it because illegal aliens are minorities like themselves and they want to see the white race diluted? They take jobs and resources from blacks also but I guess they'd rather bite off their noses to spite their faces.

That's it right there, the black lives only matter when a political point can be gained, BLM is being USED by political forces to further their agenda and those political forces don't give a crap about black lives or this case and the little girl shot in NC eating ice cream and the 2 kids shot in Chicago after asking a guy how tall he was would be all over the news.

BLM has a specific mission. Usually, organizations for social change have specific missions, and specific things they focus on.

BLM is focused on wrongful deaths of black people (well, just men, actually, and then, usually men who are acting aggressively and have an extensive criminal records) at the hands of Law Enforcement.

They don't also bring baby formula to young single black mothers in need, or run book drives for majority black schools.

They have a specific mission.

(And I'm very sorry for this father's loss, it's tragic, but he also wouldn't have gotten BLM support had her black boyfriend shot her or stabbed her to death, or if she was the victim of a random drug shooting out on the sidewalk in front of her house).

It happened twelve years ago. I’m sorry for the man’s loss, but twelve years is a considerable amount of time to still be seeking public attention.

The Killer was caught, tried, and sentenced to death. What should BLM have done to help?
Looks like it was all wrapped up correctly.

Floyd's killer was caught, has not even had enough time to be tried and will be sentenced yet SBLM and guilty whites had no problem destroying the country.

Before I gauge my reaction, I need to consult the chart to see where black American sits in relation to illegal brown immigrant on the privilege points scale.
