If you have to keep explaining your mantra, you should probably change it.

Looking at it, it sounds like something a liberal would say... They are always misinterpreting shite...

Terry Crews is one of the good guys and I am seeing many Black Americans wake up to this.

Yeah, because screw being even quasi-accurate with what you say your concerns are. And even if anybody bought the mental gymnastics required to absolve BLM of their hypocrisy, it would still leave a pretty damned big question: When it comes to the thousands of black lives killed by other blacks as opposed to the handful killed by police, who is "handling that?"

Because they suck at it.

That's not at all what i heard Lemon say in the clip i watched. Is there another clip where he comes off not sounding like a dildo?

Maybe they should change their name? Because black lives matter is not the mission statement of the BLM organization. It should be changed to: "Pro-marxist, anti-family opportunists looking to take advantage of rare police interactions with people of a specific color" #PMAFOLTARPIPSC

Kind of makes black lives matter a complete joke. It's like creating an organization to bring awareness to the dangers of boulders falling on Honda Civic's. They happen just as much.

I’m going to start a business called “ pizza express” and only sell hamburgers. I’m going to call people racist and get them fired if they dare question my business name.

Good Lord.

So I take it that you’re okay with them vowing to “burn down the system”, fighting to destroy the country along with the family unit, and using their “trained Marxists” leadership views to sow Marxist Revolution chaos around the country INSTEAD of focusing more on black on black crime?

Good Lord.

If the organization was formed to combat police brutality then they should have named themselves Blacks Against Cops or something similar. If you're going to be Black Lives Matter, you don't get to ignore the single greatest source of violence against black people. Other black people. Twenty-ish people killed a year versus 8000 homicides a year. Which is more harmful to black lives?

He needs to read the Black Lives Matter website and he will find that they reference being responsible for all black lives, and that they absolutely should be marching upon Chicago and other urban areas where black lives are being killed by other blacks.

Not doing so strips them of any credibility moving forward.


Not that they have any credibility to begin with.

Then who should care about black on black crime?

Politicians don't care.

Police don't care.

Liberals don't care.

Hollywood doesn't care.

Media doesn't care.

Activist groups don't care.

Imo, gang violence has always been one of the worst things in our society. But, no one really talks about it lately, because those that do talk about it are called racist.

Hell, my argument would be that I wish it would limit itself to that specific problem and leave the Marxist shite to the side.

Lemon is so damned dumb

In terms of scale, it's more accurate to say it's like responding to someone who says "hangnails matter" by saying, "what about heart disease".
