I think a lot of people might support repatriations.

You didn't?

Let's assume you're giving him the benefit of the doubt: Are the handful of situations where a black person is killed by a white person (all of which seem to make international headlines) a legitimately bigger problem for black folks (numbers in the dozens, perhaps a few hundred a year, in a bad year) in American than the thousands of annual black on black homicides that are routine now?

I think the point is; don't call yourself "Black Lives Matter" if you are only concerned with police killings that dont eclipse 20 total per year nationwide.
Especially when violence within the movement and associated protests have claimed more black lives than police killings of unarmed blacks in all of 2019.

So whose black life matters? Its a fair question.

Don Lemon lives at 2280 Frederick Douglas Blvd in Harlem. He'd absolutely HATE Frederick Douglas and condemn him as insufficiently race-woke and work to destroy him. It was previously a very high crime area. Now it's a place where a very wealthy black Progressive can live, segregate himself from the realities of black on black crime, and still retain the faux-black-street-cred he wants.

Right, their mission is theft, either by stealing directly or extortion. Their Soros/Clinton/Chinese masters have convinced them that they will be royalty in the new Communist Republic of America.

Foolish puppets!

No, that would only be the beginning. Once all of that money was spent in a week there would be more demands. It will never be enough.

If one pays the Danegeld, the only way to rid yourself of the Dane is to kill him.

Don Lemon proves that he is the dumbest of the dumb. The proper analogy to BLM is saying:

"cancer patients matter" and then ignoring lung, breast, colorectal, etc. and only caring about one of the super rare forms of cancer.

Growing increasingly indignant, Lemon tells Crews that BLM should NOT care about black-on-black crime since it's not in their mission, and tells his guest to start that organization himself. He also compared it to saying "cancer matters" and people asking 'what about HIV?'

No.

He said that the American Cancer Society was formed to fight cancer and need not divert its resources to fighting heart disease, because the American Heart Association is handling that.

fricking moron. And what a ridiculously stupid analogy to draw to make his point. Cancer and HIV? Two different things. Black lives are black lives, no matter how they’re taken. By his argument the movement should be called Black Lives Taken By Police Matter
So your argument is that the organization formed to combat police violence against Blacks should not limit itself to that specific problem ... because it picked too-short a name?

Good Lord.

PTDB won't go against the prescribed narrative he has been told to believe. Anyone who can think for themselves can see how ridiculous his statement is.

So BLM is now an organization with specific goals with leadership?

I would expect the American cancer society to focus on cancer as I would expect an organization that calls itself black lives matter to focus on black lives.

The analogy was dumb.
