TO WHOM DO BLACK LIVES MATTER ... ?

Given the words and actions of most national black leaders and BLM leaders, black lives really don't matter.

If the BLM organization cared about their black brothers and sisters they would use their energy  in more positive ways than blocking highways, rioting, insulting police, and allowing the destruction of public and private property. Sadly, BLM is all about getting headlines and showing the racism they so passionately claim to hate. Where is the BLM outfit when it comes to positive programs to help distressed black communities ? Where are the BLM protesters and outrage over the hundreds of senseless black on black murders ?

America's mass media cares more about advertising revenue and covering the hours of racial mob violence than actual black lives. Protracted coverage of demonstrations and riots simply adds fuel to the senseless fire of hate and frustration that is the BLM. CNN, Fox, MSNBC and others have spent more resources on covering race riots because they care about ratings and advertising revenues. Of note The Smithsonian Institute recently opened a grand museum documenting the struggles and accomplishments of black America and the mass media gang was largely absent - why ? Is covering a sensational riot more important than publicizing a great exposition showcasing black contributions to our culture ? Maybe not so much.

If Barrack Obama gave a damn, he would be the community leader, he never was, and pressure his Chicago mayor pal, Louie F., Rev. Wright, and all the other Chicago democrats into ending the tragic nightly slaughter of young blacks. However, Barrack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Eric Holder, Jesses Jackson, Al Sharpton and other black leaders would rather bristle over the isolated and sketchy scenarios when a white cop shots  a black man than do the hard work in the inner cities. Ultimately, in the Ferguson, Baltimore, Trayvon Martin case and others, race was a non factor. Nonetheless, Obama and the normal gang of race pimps rush to judgement. They bellow to gain publicity, money, votes for Hillary Clinton, and the chance to build a legacy, but they rarely roar over the fatherless homes, drug culture, unlimited abortions, joblessness, lack of education, and job opportunities that plague every major urban area of our country. These factors are the real cause for violence and disfunction in many urban communities. Their consistent solution to end these problems is to appropriate more money. This allows complacent bureaucrats to waste more money in meaningless programs and handouts which ultimately perpetuate more problems than solutions.

The Black Congressional Congress evidently cares more about staging a ridiculous sit in protest against guns than the lives of young blacks killed every night. Their fury seems to fix blame on inanimate pieces of metal as the most important cause for the senseless slaughter of blacks. Where are their impassioned speeches to the largely democratic and local black leaders of Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, Philadelphia and other cities to address the real causes of poverty and inner city crime ? John Lewis and other civil rights lions of the past have become cartoon characters shilling empty causes which fix blame everywhere but at the root causes of chaos in many black communities. The BCC finds its easier to blame the NRA, republicans, guns, Bush, Wall Street millionaires, and Trump for all the problems that trouble their congressional districts. Seeking meaningful solutions means really hard community work rather than simply speechifying and preaching. 

As noted in an earlier blog, racism is big business in America. BLM is more interested in publicity, disorder, and making a buck than doing things that really prove their title is more than a clever combination of words.

In my opinion, if black lives really mattered to black & white leaders there would be more quiet constructive work and less hustling to get headlines and cute soundbites for the nightly riot news updates.
