“Unless Black Lives Matter, All Lives Can’t Matter” Says NAACP Head

Hundreds gathered for a peaceful candlelight vigil augmented with the lights of hundreds of smart phones and police surveillance lights at Minneapolis 4th precinct station Friday night. They were there to remember Jamar Clark who had been gunned down by Minneapolis police on Sunday.
Dozens of fire pits and tables busting with food, coffee and water supported the hundreds rallying for justice in the killing.
“We understand that all lives matter. Unless black lives matter, all lives can’t matter” Cornell Brooks, National NAACP president told the crowd. “We are in it for the long haul.”
“I’m here as a leader-servant. I’m not here to parachute in as a civil rights leader and to tell you what to do. I’m here because I believe what is happening in Minneapolis,” said Brooks.
“You are here because you are seeking to promote the cause of justice.”

That's what everyone has been trying to tell these racist fricks for months. Yes, BLM because all lives matter.
This is like protesting for a change that has already been made.

Maybe we would be more shocked when black people die if they weren't KILLING EACH OTHER ALL THE frickING TIME.
Maybe lay off the gangland bullshite for a generation or two, raise your kids and focus on education and my grandkids can be shocked when black people kill each other.

So, they are withholding the video until there is an investigation?
Is that the gist of this protest?

Their point is that black lives matter less in the judicial system, in the media, in the public consciousness. Maybe that's delusional, maybe it's not, but how is that racist?

So what happened? This guy got shot by the cops while en route to volunteer at the old folks' home?

If they gave a shite about themselves they would stop killing each other and committing so many violent crimes, people might take them a little more seriously. They don't care about themselves so why should I?

Yeah, they can protest all they want, but at the end of the day, they are their own worst enemy. Those are just straight up statistics.

Because it's stereotyping whites, when white people get unjustifiably gunned down by police officers as well.
Since we know that it happens to both races, how would it look if there were a movement called white lives matter and we were not acknowledging the blacks this happens to as well?
