Class, not race, is the dominant struggle of our political age, says Rep. Paul Mitchell, who represents Michigans 10th congressional district covering parts of Macomb County and the rest of Michigans thumb.
We recently sat down with Mitchell, a Republican, to talk about race and class, attacks on police officers and the Black Lives Matter protests, among other topics. After a career owning and running a nonprofit health school, Mitchell turned his attention to politics.
Mitchell said that the left focuses on racial struggles, but the real struggle is between the haves and the have nots.
And I tell you the people who get up every day and go to work here in Macomb County, theyre tired of hearing how they owe everybody else something because they get to go to work everyday. Mitchell says his constituents dont want other people to go hungry or homeless but they also want people to have the expectation that youre going to get up and do the best you can to support your family.
One of Mitchells sons is a police officer who decided as a young kid that he wanted to become a police officer, help protect people, Mitchell said, adding that while there are bad apples in any group, violence is never an appropriate response.
People have asked me about BLM, and it wont make some of your viewers happy, but Im sorry, I come from the perspective, all lives matter. I absolutely do. I dont care what color you are. I dont care what religion you are. All lives matter and have value. We ought to treasure that because when we start discounting humanity, it is not a very good place to be.
“All lives matter.”
Sadly, the response to ridiculous, meaningless, leftist slogans, is to come up with even more empty and asinine ones.
The BLM movement is there because the “Bs” want a monopoly on killing other “Bs”...
“All lives matter” is actually considered a racist comment by the left.
Mitchell said that the left focuses on racial struggles, but the real struggle is between the haves and the have nots.
I happen to believe that all lives don’t matter. There are plenty of lives that would benefit mankind to be nipped in the bud. The list is long.
How much do BLM lives matter? They do matter in that they stifle production and rend society. Same with AuntieFaye’s lives.
Black Lives WONT matter until:
Black mothers stop murdering their black babies
Black adults stop murdering each other.
WE—who deserve NOTHING
DEMAND that you give us EVERYTHING
Sums it up for me
Do not apologize for saying that all lives matter, or that Blue lives matter.
Most of the have-nots got that way by their BEHAVIOR. A few who were simply unlucky are there too. But the unlucky will at least try, while the badly behaved will whine about unfairness. If I choose to help, no question to whom I will direct my help!
Which is why the left wants to FORCE me to help those unworthy ones through taxation.
