After 129 were killed in coordinated attacks Friday in Paris, several protesters took to Twitter to express anger at "losing the spotlight" in the media.

"Racist white people kill me, you want everyone to have sympathy for YOUR tragedy, but you have none for ours," wrote user Melanin Monroe under the Twitter handle @NeonElectricity in a post that has since been removed.

until and unless blacks police their own hoods and get their youth to stop killing each other than NO, black lives don’t mean squat.

They demonstrate that they were not motivated by truth and justice, but by attention and power.

BLM is just a strategy to enrich and empower those who will not earn an improvement in their status by disciplined effort, because they lack the character and work ethic to own their own self improvement. Being a victim is the new short cut.

Hmm... Let’s compare for the “geniuses” at this college.

One has multiple dead people in a major city around the world by ISIS...

The other only has 1 actual piece of evidence from a police report. A minority found a turd on the wall during a frat party that looked like a Swastika? Maybe if he was Jewish I could see the concern. Although according to campus police it did not even look like a Swastika. Thus, that tells you the person who did it does not even know history. Which makes me think the person who was “offended” by it 99% chance did it.

And these idiots wonder why no one even looks their way?

When spoiled children are throwing a tantrum, the last thing they want is somebody stealing their spotlight.

Pants up, don’t loot. Get a job and knock off the victim mentality.
