He is very mistaken. Black lives are devalued when “good” black people support “bad” black people who have harmed others of any kind.
A mother of any kind can be expected to still care when her bad child, seeking to harm others, is himself harmed. But for others to embrace him, a bad person, solely because they share his color, condemns all people of that shared color to stereotype, that they put race above honesty and character.
Other people cannot be blamed for stereotypes in such circumstances. “White privilege” is such a stereotype, but it is caused by the opposite problem. The perception by black people that the stereotype of bad behavior applied to them *does not* apply to white people.
They think this is unfair. But it isn’t. White people seldom have any belief in “racial solidarity”. They are first to condemn a white person who tries to harm others and is arrested or harmed himself. This is the real meaning of “white privilege”. White people are privileged precisely because they do not tolerate bad behavior by other white people.
Look at the destruction leveled on the black community because they do not discourage each other from trying to harm others. Not encouraging honesty and character gets black people killed. They kill each other. Non-black people kill black people who try to harm them. And yes, policemen, of all colors, will kill black people who attack them or try to harm or kill others.
Charity begins at home, but so does responsibility, honesty and character. And condemning those who don’t behave themselves.
The black "community" did the same thing when they cheered/supported OJ getting one over on "the law" after murdering two people. It did nothing to bring justice to anyone who may have been unjustly convicted of a crime in some other court case.
