Congressional Black Caucus Chair: ‘There Is An Unwritten Rule That Black Lives Hold No Value’
Pajamas Media ^ | 11/25/2014 | PAULA BOLYARD

On Monday Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-OH) called the grand jury’s decision not to indict officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of Michael Brown a “miscarriage of justice.”

In a statement released through the Congressional Black Caucus, which she chairs, Fudge said the decision not to indict Wilson “is a slap in the face to Americans nationwide who continue to hope and believe that justice will prevail.”

“This decision seems to underscore an unwritten rule that Black lives hold no value; that you may kill Black men in this country without consequences or repercussions,” Fudge said. “This is a frightening narrative for every parent and guardian of Black and brown children, and another setback for race relations in America.”

“My heart goes out to Michael Brown’s loved ones, and to the loved ones of all the Michael Browns we have buried in this country,” Fudge said.

Last week, G.K. Butterfield, the incoming chair of the Congressional Black Caucus — and former Superior Court judge — said that a crime “probably was committed” in the shooting and he warned that “if [grand jurors] turn their backs on justice …there will be pushback from those who are concerned about it — and I’m one of those who’s concerned about it. There will be pushback. We will be asking questions.”

Dear Marcia Fudge...

Where was the Grand Jury investigation into my brother’s killing by TWO BLACK Cleveland Police officers when he charged at them with plastic knives and forks?

I actually agree with the headline. But what it doesn’t say is that blacks wrote that “unwritten” rule.

Christians and most conservatives value every human life.

Which is why none of the “civil rights” leaders are in Chicago.

My congresswoman (don't blame me, the 'pubs in OH can't even gerrymand well) is deranged. There was a probably justified police shooting and death of a 12 year old black boy on Cleveland's west side Sunday. The mayor has been very good about getting facts out there, encouraging people to be patient, and making it very clear why there was fear it was a real gun the lad had.

Meanwhile, Marcia Fudge, who represents half of Cleveland, is criticizing the rule of law. Cleveland already had some staged protests using the death as an excuse to promote their agenda, not out of hand, but the city doesn't need anything to inflame the thugs.

no cure for STUPID and the libtards have that market cornered... and growing
by the way if blacks commit 5x the crimes of white... who is at fault.... those who break the law or those who enforce it..???????
when rev al sharpton is invited to the white house and gives advice it tells you something... when the atty gen refuses to go after the black panthers it tells you something... when obama makes racist conclusory comments it tells you all you need to know... RACIST POLITICS AND RACISM is political currency for the LIBTARDS at the expense of TRUTH and JUSTICE....

Black lives have not value, especially by other blacks. There is not effort to contain the black-on-black crime and the Congressional Black (Communist) Caucus is rapidly pro-abortion with more unborn black babies being aborted than those being born in places like New York City.

And when they’re not actively murdering each other, many very young children are killed when their mothers roll-over on them, smothering them in their sleep because they’re too lazy to put them in their crib.

...and the reason it’s unwritten is because it’s bullshit.

...similar to the unwritten rule I’ve discovered that everyone born on my birthday should have inherited a billion dollars...

...guess someone should have written it down...

Congressional Black Caucus Chair: ‘There Is An Unwritten Rule That Black Lives Hold No Value’

What about the much more frequently exercised unwritten rule that Blacks don't have to play by the same rules as everybody else?

That would be among the children lucky enough to survive their first 9 months of life ...

Ms. Fudge, along with other racists, professional victims and racist organizations such as the Congressional Negro Caucus, are better left ignored by thoughtful people. People on the Left, like Ms. Fudge, are so consumed by their emotions and by their fervent devotion to their victimhood that they cannot be reasoned with, so it is better to just ignore their words ... until their actions — their behavior — requires a response.

Blacks like Michael Brown who want to kill cops have no value and he got exactly what he was axing for. Same for the black trash who support that behavior.

So take your two century old slavery and become positive members of society or continue to be worthless trash, cause Whitey is over the guilt.

Pray America is waking

But the business owners should have been on the rooftops and shot anyone who approached the store with a cigarette lighter.

...you can shoot someone with a cigarette lighter...?

It starts with black mothers murdering their own children in the womb. More black babies are aborted than born in NYC. It continues in the callous ways blacks treat each other with 93% of blacks killed by other blacks.

Blacks can’t value black lives, but expect everyone else to value them.

Well when blacks themselves start acting as though their own lives have value, start behaving like civilized human beings, then maybe civilized society will not be forced to defend itself against rampaging, dark skinned, two legged animals. It`s a pretty simple equation, really.

Marcia Fudge must be speaking about the black community since blacks kill 75%+ of the blacks killed each year.
