BLM silent when confronted with data showing massive 2020 spike in Black murders victims
Fox News via yahoo.com ^ | April 19, 2022 | Emma Colton

The Black Lives Matter organization was silent when approached for comment on 2020’s skyrocketing number of Black murders and experts citing BLM and the defund the police movements for contributing to the deaths.

Fox News Digital reached out to the Black Lives Matter press team on April 14 inquiring if they had comment on FBI data showing there was a 32% increase in Black murders in 2020 compared to 2019, as well as a comment regarding experts such as the Manhattan Institute’s Heather Mac Donald arguing the BLM and defund the police movements contributed to the murder spike, not the coronavirus.

Fox News Digital also detailed the yearly numbers of Black murders from 2010 to 2020 within the inquiry but did not receive a response from the organization as of Tuesday morning.

The summer of 2020 was marked by protests and riots from coast to coast in support of the BLM and defund the police movements following the death of George Floyd. FBI data show murders across the board spiked by nearly 30% in 2020 compared to the year prior, marking the largest single-year increase in killings since the agency began tracking the crimes.

For Black Americans, the murders spiked disproportionally.

At least 7,484 Black Americans were murdered in 2019, according to FBI data Fox News Digital reported on Tuesday. That number shot up to at least 9,941 murders in 2020, meaning there was an increase of 2,457 Black Americans murdered over the previous year.

Among White murders, FBI data show there were 7,043 White people murdered in 2020, meaning 2,898 more Black people were killed compared to Whites.

I would say that a 33% increase in blacks murdered in one year is a signal success for BLM meeting their goal, especially as virtually all the murderers were black!

What a pointless headline.

BLM doesn't care. They've extorted their millions from corporate America, and that was the whole point. Mission Accomplished.

Well, Emma, have you figured out yet that BLM, just like all other left wing NGOs, is simply a grifting scheme?

Not only did black murders rise dramatically, so did black traffic fatalities - and its clearly correlated to start of riots of May 2020.

In the last seven months of 2020, blacks died in wrecks 36 percent more often than in the same period in 2019. That's an extra 1330 black lives lost in that period. For all other ethnic groups, the increase was 4 percent - and that's while Americans overall were driving about 15% fewer miles due to covid lockdowns.

Blacks need police

The Black Lives Matter organization

What exactly is this organization.

In 2013, three radical Black organizers — Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors, and Opal Tometi — created a Black-centered political will and movement building project called #BlackLivesMatter. It was in response to the acquittal of Trayvon Martin’s murderer, George Zimmerman.

who is the President, who is their officers, who is on the board, who is the CFO?

Their website sure doesn't say:https://blacklivesmatter.com/herstory/
