Apparently, Trayvon Martin is the only black life that really matters to many blacks and liberals. Blacks are getting gunned down by other blacks every day in cities across the country and theres no outrage from liberals. These kids are nameless and faceless to liberals Black Lives Matter Movement. But when George Zimmerman decided to auction off the gun he used to shoot Martin in self-defense, people lost their minds.
I think its in poor taste for Zimmerman to do this, and even more disturbing and sick that anyone would want to buy this gun. Obviously, Zimmerman is starved for cash and this is a desperate move. Well, this prompted liberal lawyers and pundits to rehash the case, asking when will Zimmerman be held accountable for his crime. He was held accountable. Bowing to political pressure from President Barack Obama, Al Sharpton and his black mob, Floridas state attorney charged Zimmerman with second-degree murder. A trial was conducted and Zimmerman was found not guilty by a group of his peers.
Tragically, Martin contributed to his own death by the bad decisions he made that night. Martin has become a martyr for the lie that white Hispanic men and white police officers are killing young black men in cold blood when the opposite is true.
Far more people of color are being killed in Americas cities tis year than in many years, FBI Director James Comey observed in a 2015 speech to the University of Chicago Law School.
And lets be clear: far more people of color are being killed in Americas cities this year. And its not the cops doing the killing.
No, its not cops hunting for blacks. And like last year, homicide rates have jumped dramatically in more than 24 cities, including Chicago. Comey said hes more worried about it than he was last year and is attributing some of the rise in homicides to viral videos taunting police officers and preventing them from doing their jobs.
In the predominately black city of Chicago, homicides have increased over 56% since last year. Its a blood bath of killings daily where most of the victims and victimizers are black.
Over Mothers Day weekend, over 50 people were shot. During that four day shooting rampage, eight of those people were killed in what was described by the Chicago Tribune as the city's most violent weekend since the end of September.
Chicago is already closing in on 200 homicides, as the city endures its worst violence since the late 1990s. At this rate, the city is on pace to top 500 homicides for the year for only the second time since 2008, noted the Chicago Tribune.
The shootings are concentrated in the mostly black neighborhoods of the South and West sides of the city. Chicagos Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson, who is black, said that those criminals are repeat offenders who are being released from prison after serving only half their sentences.
Where are the marches and protests for these black lives? Oh, thats right, their deaths cant be blamed on either a racist white police chief (because Chicagos top cop is black), or racist white cops. No these black lives were overwhelmingly killed by other black lives, so I guess they dont matter like Trayvons.
Its time to cut the crap. We all know why liberals like Chicago Mayor Rahm Emmanuel arent rushing to live in inner city black neighborhoods. Theres too much damn black killing. When will liberals stop making excuses for the problem and deal honestly with the problem?
Of course, there’s the Gentle Giant strong arm robber and cop attacking Michael Brown.

Actually, the criminal Trayvon who was shot while attempting murder did not have a life that mattered.
The fact he was black was trivial compared to the fact he was human detritus
My mind cant make it jive with SJWs and BLMs bitching that whites dont care and their claim that its the racist whites forcing the cops to kill them and keep the 99 and 44/100th of the black cops from saying anything at all in support of their cause.(?)
Chicago has had (at least) 245 homicides so far in 2016 and 4 fatal police shootings.
They seem to be saying that Black lives don't matter to black people but they should matter to white people. Which is bizarre (liberal?) logic.
Its normal, ok and expected to demand the right to burn down your own neighborhood because a gang banger was righteously shot during the commision of a crime and removed from the gene pool but rubs folks the wrong way when a white man trys to stand up for that long forgotten concept of freedom and the rule of law.
Looking at that photo reminds me a lot of The Waalking Dead. Lots of brainless stares there...
Black Lives Matter Way Too Much:
https://misadventuresindiversity.wordpress.com/2015/08/10/black-lives-matter-way-too-much/
*sigh* I wish people wouldn’t perpetuate such blatant disinformation. Even Trump got suckered in by this fake meme, which combines some true stats with some utterly bogus stats.
:: No, its not cops hunting for blacks ::
SOoo maybe LEO should “go Article X” on these thugs and, just start “hunting” [/sarc]. Since they are being accused of ‘’hunting’’ blacks and specifically black men.
Scenario: Shoot someone that has a different melanin-content than you and lose your job. That is the prescription of the day. To quote HRC: What difference does it make?
...Oh and By using the word “hunting”, I, of course mean, hunting black men! /sarc
Thanks for pointing this out.
So if you know these numbers are wrong, what are the real statistics?
“When will liberals stop making excuses for the problem and deal honestly with the problem?”
Ha! Never!
I phoned the Chicago mayor’s office to ask why Rahm hadn’t asked to have the governor deploy the National Guard on the city’s streets, which is so obviously, desperately needed, what with an average of over 61 people shot EVERY WEEK(that’s shootings, not all resulting in death, eh).
The person who answered the phone sounded like a young black woman, and not too bright. When I told her I wanted to talk to someone who could answer that question, she paused and mumbled, then said she’d have to refer me to the police department. I said no, that the police have no authority/ability to have the National Guard deployed in the city, but that the mayor does by requesting it from the governor — and that was why I was calling the mayor’s office to ask why it hadn’t been done.
She sighed and told me to hold on while she transferred me to someone else, and I waited while the line rang and rang and rang and rang and rang with no answer, then I gave up and clicked off.
The meme does need to be adjusted:
From: Uniform Crime Reports data, for 2014
Blacks killed by whites: 7.6 percent.
Whites killed by whites: 82.4 percent.
Whites killed by blacks: 14.8 percent.
Blacks killed by blacks: 90 percent.
Well, the rates of white-on-white and black-on-white homicide are way off in the graphic. Although comparatively a white person is extremely more likely to be killed by a black person than the other way around, still, over 80% of whites killed are killed by other whites.
The average person is confused by discussions of statistical probability, unfortunately, and spreads b.s. for that reason....
Also, those percentages really only give a real picture of proportionality when they are juxtaposed/applied to the raw numbers of homicides and demographic share of the overall U.S. population. As in, 14.8% of how many killed, and how many whites in the U.S., what % of population white, black, etc.
Yes, Saint travon is the only life that ever mattered to the SJW crowd
It’s not about black lives. It’s about using the deaths to seize control over local police departments, and to stir up anger and discontent among the underclass, leading to civil disorder.
