Because of slavery and Jim Crow and too many movies like The Help, there was a point where I genuinely cared about the plight of black Americans in general.
But these days I’m a little picky. When people say “Black Lives Matter,” I like to ask, which ones? Because Black Lives Matter already pretended “all of them,” and if we’re being honest, it felt a lot like No Lives Matter.
How can you say lives matter, for instance, when you don’t care how they live? And how can you say “people are important” without asking them to take themselves seriously?

It’s gotta be the Big Loud Malefactors ...
And the founders/leaders stole money from BLM to buy mansions and luxury cars.
N word Rich is what its called
BLM is / was a hypocritical fundraising scam. If black lives truly matter matter why is there no concern for the black lives lost daily in Chicago in New York in you-name-the-American city? And when you choose a life- long thug and drug addict like George Floyd as your cause celebre what does that say?!
So far nothing but crickets and frogs from the MSM. Now if it was a WLM group .....
