Black lives matter, except to blacks

THIS^!
I talked to my friend about the BLM last week (black guy) and he said it's, and I quote "pretty fuckin' embarrassin'".
I know that we have to wait until all of the facts are known, but I have to say that this "victim" had gone out of his way to show his "gansta" buddies what a bad dude he is. How stupid do you need to be to post that image on your FB page? What message was he sending out by posing with the gun, which is likely to be the very same weapon that he had with him when he was shot? Activist organizations like BLM need to know that you flush your credibility down the drain when you don't know that every police action is not an egregious assault on your community. Sometimes they actually run into a bad dude. At times like this just STFU...
It puzzles me why these people just can't stay off of social media? They are the generation that grew up with it since birth and have seen the massive flack that Trump is taking for his social media rants. They keep bitching about the media is paying attention to the wrong thing, but they keep adding fuel to the fire. People forget that controversy sells. And they also forget that having the freedom of speech also gives you the freedom to keep your mouth and phone shut!
LOL. How ridiculous.More stats.
US Blacks dies as much as the top 3 countries combined. And comparing from the bottom, as much as the bottom 15 countries combined.
And some reason, it's all about racism and bad cops.
Would be interesting to know how many Back people killed are due to racist people and bad cops who murdered for no reason. I bet it's a small number of the 19.4/100,000 rate. I'd bet that 19 are Blacks dying due to crime and gang stuff and the other perhaps 0.4 is due to racism.
On a side note: What's with Lithuania? Who knew it was a hotbed of deaths?!?!? And Cuba too? I know Cuba is poor, but the people always seemed pretty low key. White USA at 2.5 is higher than most countries on the list too. So even Whiteys in the US seem to go nuts more often than other places. The UK at a super low rate is impressive. Tons of people on a small island, lots of minorities, a history of world wars and such. You'd think it would be destined to have hotbeds of trouble, yet things are calm little homicides.
Non blacks shouldn't comment on black deaths in the u.s. You simply are not qualified. Your experiences in life are absolutely not equal to theirs no matter how much you try to correlate your own 'struggles".
If any of you have ever spent more than 10 minutes in a real inner city, or even closer to that, a northern reserve right here in the great white north, you would finally get a little taste of what its like to live with absolutely zero hope of survival. But once again...I'm preaching to middled aged johns here who dont really have a solid grasp of social issues that dont affect them so. Ya.

most blacks are killed by other black criminals like the 4 back males killed in Rexdale in March 2015 one is a 16 year old boy from St Lucia and y'all refuse to mention or protest those killings. and the recent killing of a black male at Richmond and Parliament killed while attending a funeral
I hope you're being sarcastic right?
And though I am white, I have spent most of my life in inner city (or at least the Canadian version), been close to several people killed over drugs and many others who spent time incarcerated.
Yes, there is systemic racism against minorities in Canada but trying to describe it as hopeless is farcical. I understand anger and it is more of a struggle for the poor but it comes down to choices. Toronto has many schools, many social programs, and many jobs (they might not be all great jobs but even working at McDonalds is a better life than being on the street dealing. The choice to become involved in gangs and drugs is exactly that, a choice.
And I have known some black youth who went down that path, many who didn't and live good lives, and some who did dirt, survived, and chose to do something productive with their lives.
Both porn actors in your signature, Jason Brown and Karla Kush support BLM.
Just saying.. I don't have an opinion about this issue.
That's not my problem. They don't like it? Pack your bags and move. Immigrants did it over the past 100 years. Poor, no job, no skills, no English. If you came from a world war country, your home has a possibility of being blown up and some of your family were killed in the war.
Yet, they have to balls to move across the ocean to look for something better. If they can do it, surely inner city families can move across the city.
Many other minorities over the past 100 years have immigrated to various western countires and done well. It takes time, but if the effort is there, things change.
A long time ago, various minorities had low skills and many didn't even speak or write English.
Fast forward decades and you don't see anyone looking down at Asians or Indians. And cops don't seem to hassle them either despite them having minority looks. Education wise, they do better than the norm too. So not even racist government workers (teachers) purposely try to lower their marks to screw them up..... it doesn't happen.
So please explain that. If racism is so widespread, why do other minority groups doing well? And why doesn't law enforcement give them the "clamp down" to keep them down?
Thank you once again for showing us the mentality of some people. If you live in Canada, please dont' tell me about your "inner city" struggles. If you live in Canada, don't try to convince me of "your desperation" or "zero hope of survival". What you are really referring to is your desperation to have the things that many of those "middle aged johns" have worked their ass off to accomplish. Aboriginals are a different entity, so unless you are aboriginal, dont' compare yourself to them. If you want desperation, live in the slums in Brazil or India, then we can talk.
Is there systemic discrimination, definitely. However, the great people who have built this country and society have spend centuries trying to build a fair and just society. They have put centuries of thought into every aspect of our society. The greatest minds in our country regularly develop and debate policies in law, ethics, and social policy in an attempt to create a society where we all can prosper. So for small minded people to open up their mouths to dismiss this society as if we can't possibly understand the plight of our disadvantaged is ridiculous.
To say that non-blacks shouldnt comment on black deaths is the mentality of a 15 year old gangster wanna be. so Ya.

Maybe blacks should stop glorifying violence, stop embracing a gang culture, stop tolerating broken families in their communities, start cooperating with the police, start taking more responsibility for their children.
Maybe then blacks wouldn't be killing so many blacks.
Here's the thing: profiling ACTUALLY WORKS, and as a result it makes BLACK communities safer. It's blacks that those profiled thugs were going to victimize. When profiling pulls a thug off the street there's a black family whose child was spared the actions of that thug.
BLM want easy answers, but there are only hard answers.
But, then blacks would be like just any other minority group (with one possible exception).
What an arrogant comment you have chosen to make. If I take your own logic, black people should not comment on my life because they have never walked in my shoes, or the shoes of a police officer for that matter. If I take your own logic, I should never comment on matters of politics, education or health care because I have no experience of working in these fields. The next thing that I expect top hear is you telling us not to judge those pediphile priests because we never had to live as they do.
We, as citizens, are not only allowed to assess and comment on the issues of the day, we actually have a responsibility to do so. Otherwise, how will our society continue to evolve and make the changes that may be necessary if we do do not contemplate and reflect?
The critical point here is that using your own logic, please do not come here and tell our members what they can say and do not tell us that we should have no opinions on the issues that face our communities. Please feel free, however, to STFU!
