The cold-blooded murder of a Houston-area sheriff’s deputy raises the question anew.
Who gets believed, in our age of ever-present media, is who talks the loudest. Donald Trump, for example.
Then there’s the Black Lives Matter movement, with its clamorous dedication to the idea that white racism is behind the killing of black men around the country, nothing else — not circumstance, not misjudgment, not fear — just out-and-out racism, end of discussion, period, shut up.
Accordingly, Harris County Sheriff Ron Hickman’s morally incontestable claim — “all lives matter” — isn’t getting much traction with those committed to the Black Lives Matter narrative. A black man shoots an off-duty but uniformed white deputy in the back, pumping additional lead into him as he lies on the ground. Yes, too bad. But let’s not confuse it with the real issue, as defined by Black Lives Matter and the national media after the cop shootings in Ferguson, Missouri, and Baltimore, Maryland — that issue being… Black Lives Matter.
That they don’t matter, and shouldn’t, is the morally disabling claim we never hear. Why? No one makes such a claim, that’s why. The claim we may be starting to hear — faintly, but growing in volume — is a once-familiar one: that the lives of “pigs” don’t matter. “Pigs,” if you weren’t around for that joyous picnic known as the 1960s, are cops. Assorted black militants in those militant days carried banners urging readers to “Off the Pigs.” “Off” meant “kill” — you know, terminate, exterminate, execute in cold blood. A few actually obeyed that gruesome injunction.
Apparently the pig-call still has its enchantments. At the Minnesota State Fair over the weekend, marchers in a protest by Black Lives Matter’s local group can be heard in a Twitter video shouting, “Pigs in a

If some folks are discontent here and hate our collective national history , there is a vast hereditary region that would more than welcome a mass influx of immigration by those of like regional heritage and coming home with the immense resources of education , sophistication and know-how . They could change the history of a large part of this planet ,which will otherwise muddle in mediocrity , bordering on the medieval , into an interminable future . So...if they really have a problem with the USA , there is certainly an alternative .
#ThugLivesDontMatter.
All lives matter equally to me, but not to the leftist establishment. When a black kills a white, they say nothing because they don’t care. When a white kills a black, they are ballistic with their hypocritical outrage.
If you say “white lives matter” you are branded racist.
#GoHelpAfrica
BLM also cares not for the other two cases...
No. Thug gangbanger lives don’t matter.
is it not true? How much of a difference could these highly motivated young ideologues make ? Their anti-white fervor and Liberal educations ( if any) might be so well received .
“it takes a certain amount of courage to get up in a coffee-house or a college auditorium and come out in favor of the things that everybody else in the audience is against like peace and justice and brotherhood and so on.”

No they do not. Many are murdered daily by abortion.
No.
Accelerating the trajectories of so many African countries along the lines of Venezeula could be instructive.
Lehrer shoulda been a perfesser.....
It might make for instructive Reality TV.
Answer to the question posed by the heading to the article is obvious from any perspective.
Good one
” Black Lives Matter”
They murder each other 24/7.
Not much.

I still laugh at his "The Wild West Is Where I Wanna Be." \
His mathematical background shows up in his song "Lobachevsky," who was a real Russian mathematician.
