Speaker Paul Ryan on Tuesday called the concerns of the Black Lives Matter movement "profound" and said communities need to come together to find solutions to the issues people are facing.
"People feel like they're being discriminated against and they're not safe because of the color of their skin, so that's profound and because people believe that, we have to listen to that," Ryan said Tuesday during a CNN town hall.
"And we have to hear about it, we have to understand it and then, instead of just talking, let's go try solving it. The Speaker said people should "not harden ourselves in our corners so we stop listening to each other."
"Let's make sure that we can actually hear what people are saying and understand what their problems are. And I also think we need to be respectful of each other's different views."
After five policemen were killed in Dallas, Ryan said the community also needs to give law enforcement officers with the support they deserves.
"That means you can't blame the shooting on Black Lives Matter and you can't also blame the bad things that a couple cops do on all of the cops," he said.
"So let's make sure that we're not painting people with a broad brush here. Let's focus on paying respect to the people who are in charge of protecting our communities and the let's use two ears, one mouth and listen to the concerns that are out there."

Respect views that have been manufactured by left-leaning power brokers. Views that drive people to violence and hatred.
Yeah, that’s the ticket.
NO WE DON'T! I respect their right to have different views, but I to not need to respect those views. BLM people say they want to kill white people. I'm supposed to respect that view?
Ryan, you are something else!!
You have to admit he has a flair with flying the White Flag. He is the symbol of the GOP.
Pray America wakes
Ryan is a turd. The PC crowd has no problem with racist hate speech, yet the rest of us have to watch every word we say.
I hope Ryan loses.
He must be running for an NWO position given the demographics. Maybe he’s a fan of eyes wide shut stuff?
“”People feel like they’re being discriminated against and they’re not safe because of the color of their skin...””
They’re more worried about feeling safe than they are about actually being safe.
That’s like wearing a full-faced helmet and leathers while riding a motorcycle on I-75 in Michigan’s UP and feeling just as unsafe as somebody bare-headed, riding aggressively wearing shorts, a tank top and flip-flops on I-696 during rush hour! It’s the first guy’s own fault for believing that he’s just as unsafe as the 2nd guy.
Yep. Agenda driven by him and the ruling elite.
The true mark of a politician. Afraid to say anything about anyone that might get them in trouble so they talk out of both sides of their mouths. Never, ever take a true position!
Paul Ryan isn’t bothered by the fact that BLM wants cops dead?
Who’s going to enforce Paul Ryan’s grossly unpopular laws if there’s no cops?
This is a guy who richly deserves to be booted out of office by his district. No one speaks like this unless they have handlers who are feeding him this agitprop.
Ryan just lost his election.
Ryan has lost it (if he ever had it). FOX just had a Black guy on telling it like it is - surveys by an institution has proved no racial bias i Blacks being shot by cops - he said they never bump those surveys against the number of crimes by Blacks which puts them face to face with cops, the amount of Black on Black violence, etc. He slammed Obama for his statement on how “it’s easier for Blacks to get a Glock than a book as hyperbole designed to fan the flames while ignoring the real problem. he also said that part of the solution is allowing programs that allow better access to different schools and that’s one thing Obama tries to shut down at every turn. Refreshing to hear a Black say it like it is - he’ll probably be getting death threats from the “BLM” folks by this afternoon...
Pound sand Ryan!!!
Get your free ObamaGlock. With free monthly ammunition just like your free monthly Obamaphone minutes.
Black Lives Matter is a hate group - no different than the KKK. I don’t listen to people who call for murder - and Paul Ryan shouldn’t either.
If ‘BLM’ was a black organization rather than a white manipulation ... but even then - the violence? The hate? Ryan needs to draw sane lines... they’re feeding off some ideas that need to be looked at... but they’re NOT what they appear to be.
Ryan - reject them.
You mean the "Damn your firing squad; I won't stand still for it" Ceausecus?
Deport Lyin’ Ryan.
