Racism, Police Brutality, & Making Black Lives Matter

Mitchell Shaw: Making Black Lives Matter - thenewamerican.com


Excerpt from this article (My apologies to writer Mitchell Shaw for quoting such a long portion of this excellent article, but this article is too important to quote any less1):

"While the Black Lives Matter (BLM) crowd insists that the phrase 'Black Lives Matter' includes the silent and implied 'Too,' as in 'Black Lives Matter, Too,'  the reality is that it actually includes the silent and implied 'Some,' as in 'Some Black Lives Matter.' The basic premise of the BLM narrative is that racist white cops who systematically and routinely target black men for violence and murder are the single greatest threat to black men. 'That narrative, though — like so many others — is predicated on a lie that is designed to hide a simple truth. That truth, if the numbers are allowed to speak for themselves, is that black men are themselves the single greatest threat to black men. Before this writer is accused of racism, I did not say that. A black man did. That black man is Jay Stalien, a police officer in Palm Beach County, Florida. ...Black Lives do not matter to most black people. Only the lives that make the national news matter to them. Only the lives that are taken at the hands of cops or white people, matter. The other thousands of lives lost, the other black souls that I along with every cop, have seen taken at the hands of other blacks, do not matter. Their deaths are unnoticed, accepted as the 'norm,' and swept underneath the rug by the very people who claim and post 'black lives matter.'....I remember the countless times I canvassed the area afterwards, and asked everyone 'did you see who did it,” and the popular response from the very same family members was always, 'F**k the Police, I ain’t no snitch, I’m gonna take care of this myself.' ...'every single time, every single homicide, black on black” he worked, the people who could have helped the police solve the murder refused to do so...As Michele Hickford wrote for the website of Allen West: On average, 4,472 black men were killed by other black men annually between Jan. 1, 2009, and Dec. 31, 2012, according to the FBI’s Supplementary Homicide Reports. Using FBI and CDC statistics, Professor Johnson calculates that 112 black men, on average, suffered both justified and unjustified police-involved deaths annually during this period. If black lives mattered to Black Lives Matter, that 40-to-1 death ratio would demand both their focus and their attention."
