What is "Black Lives Matter"?

[printcraft]

It’s the same for the right wing media outlets, but I imagine that isn’t so clear to you.

It's brought up in "right wing media", buy you should be keenly aware by now of what the canned response is.
Pointing black on black crime out as a problem is "racist".

I've never seen it indicated that simply saying "Black on Black crime" is racist.

Calling attention to it is just because "you racist".
This is the playbook.
You haven't seen this behavior in practice? Really?

However, there are activists and academics who say that "Black-on-Black crime" is an offensive phrase; its origins rooted in America's racist legacy and meant to demean Black people as criminally inclined.

No, that's not quite what's being said. Saying "Black on Black" crime isn't the issue. Its an issue when people say "Black Lives Matter," and someone attempts to detract from it by saying "what about Black on Black crime." The Black community has been attempting to address Black on Black crime for years. That's not a new thing.

You know how I can tell you didn't read the article?

Still, for academics like Muhammad and many Black activists, the phrase should be stricken from the American lexicon.

Critics of the phrase often make the point that while white men are overrepresented in committing domestic acts of terror and white-collar financial crimes, which have serious consequences, the term "white-on-white crime" is never used in those cases. Those acts are as committed by an individual and not representative of a group.

"Black people are committing crimes against themselves or causing harm in the community. There must be something wrong with Black people -- that's the conversation unfortunately, that we're still having," said Muhammad. "And that is the racist legacy of the past repeating itself."

I ain't wrong. You just lack the ability to understand the information you were presented with; hence why (as I stated) you would be dismissive.

You just keep on shoveling your ****. It is the one thing you ain't not good at.

I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings bud. If you cared enough to inform yourself, it might not hurt so bad.

No, I did read that part, and considered bring up the "White on White crime" part, but knew no good would have come from that.

LMAO!!!! Keep on shoveling your ****!!!!!!! It is the one, and only thing you appear to be good at!!!!!!

 

[ultra...good]

Only if you let yourself.
I think most of you are smarter than that.....

I am old enough to know better, but sometimes it is too hard to resist.

When was the last Burn Loot Murder protest regarding all the unarmed white people that die in police encounters? Keep on shoveling though, you have definitely found your niche.

Folks. This needs to take a breather. Its a 5 year old thread that obviously will only stir emotions and cause problems.

I will think about re-opening it later.

Maybe.
