As I watched a video recently of Black Lives Matter protestors, I saw several of the mostly peaceful marchers raise their hands in the "Hands Up, Don't shoot" routine. Apparently, they haven't heard that Michael Brown never said that but since, celebrities, athletes, the mainstream media and of course, Democrats continue to spread that lie, who can blame the low infos from believing it.

Certainly, the demonstrators don't even pay attention to what black journalists have reported but they aren't interested unless Beyonce, Jay-Z and other hip-hop singers tell them what to think.
When MSNBC's Jonathan Capehart, wrote an opinion piece, "Hand's Up, Don't Shoot was built on a lie', he was pilloried as an Uncle Tom and traitor to his race. Mr. Capehart, who now writes for Washington Post, is a very impressive journalist who seems interested in seeking out truth instead of following the mainstream narrative on events.
Facts are constantly interfering with the media narrative and even though their sites publish fact checking articles, i.e. Pinocchio ratings, their conclusions are disingenuous, not clarifying.

Unfortunately, the false narrative has a fierce hold on the black community at large and it won't change until influential celebrities use their voice to speak the truth.
Charles Barkley recently said in an interview that 'the reason why there's racial stereotypes' is because 'some black people are crooks.' His remarks were not received gently by the usual race demagogues whose financial lives depend on racial divide. While the president moans and groans about institutional racism, one has to wonder why it never occurs to anyone that the problem might be political. Look at the areas where poverty is greatest due to a lack of employment opportunities. The worst cities are controlled by Democrats and many have black officials in office.

She should mention the New York Times for fanning the flames of hate. That organization is one of the biggest leaders of hate. They foster an environment of hate against Christians everyday.
