When Black Lives Don’t Matter

BlackLivesMatterThe slogan of the wave of Ferguson protests is “Black Lives Matter.” But progressives are far more interested in toting around the corpse of Michael Brown to their protests than in the living man he was.

Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown and countless others like them grew up in broken families, their lives haunted by fathers and stepfathers with gang ties. The only masculine culture they had was that of the thug and that culture eventually killed them.

Criminal culture is even more fatal to criminals than it is to their victims. If you attack enough people, eventually one of them will fight back. Eventually one of them will kill you.

It wasn’t Darren Wilson who decided that black lives don’t matter. Michael Brown did. He did not grow up with a sense that his life was worth anything more than violent posturing could make of it. Just like Martin, that violent posturing eventually killed him.

Rappers recorded a tribute song to Michael Brown titled, “Don’t Shoot.” But Brown’s own songs had a different theme with lyrics like “My favorite part of killing people is when they hit the ground.”

Black criminals victimize other black people first. The Ferguson looters went after businesses serving the black community and businesses owned by black people. That’s the way it always is.

Which black lives really matter in Missouri; the lives of criminals shot by police officers or the black lives taken by criminals?

Missouri has a black homicide rate that is nearly double the nationwide homicide rate for black people. And it’s nearly six times higher than the overall murder rate in Missouri.

If the media were really outraged by lost black lives, they would be outraged by those numbers. If the protesters really wanted to say that black lives matter, they would fight those murder rates instead of contributing to them with their protests.

The story of Missouri’s murder rate is the story of the left. From the beginning to the end of the 1960s, murder rates doubled, rapes, robberies and car thefts doubled, assaults tripled and thefts quadrupled.

A decade in which America changed left a bloody trail of death and misery in its wake. The victims of the left’s transformation of America filled the gutters, morgues, prisons and hospitals.

When Giuliani pointed out that the police were there to protect black people, he was asserting that black lives matter. And unlike every single one of his self-righteous critics, he actually saved black lives.

The decision of his Socialist successor, Bill de Blasio, to move criminals back into housing projects was a statement that they don’t. Housing projects in the pre-Giuliani era belonged to drug dealers. Getting criminals out of housing projects saved black lives, especially those of children.

The “Black Lives Matter” protesters claim that there’s a crisis of police shootings. There isn’t. There is a crisis of young black men shooting each other.

After the shooting of drug dealer Derrick Jones, the NAACP breathlessly reported that 37 black people were shot by police in Oakland over four years. Meanwhile there were 1,594 shooting victims in Oakland in one year.

The vast majority of the perpetrators were black. The majority of murder victims were young black men. So were their killers.

The leading cause of death for young black men is murder. The perpetrators are other young black men.

If black lives really mattered, then the life of a young black man shot down by a criminal would matter at least as much as Michael Brown. But those black lives don’t matter.

The progressive Ferguson protesters not only don’t care about them, but they want to take more black lives by empowering criminals and crippling the police.

The gang is to the black community as the cartel is to lawless parts of Mexico, except that the American equivalents of the Narcocorrido, the songs glamorizing cartel drug dealers, are distributed by major music labels and their performers are invited to the White House.

While Mexico tries to fight drug and gang music, American progressives make it mainstream.

Gang culture in Black America, which is responsible for most of the gun violence in the country, isn’t the work of a few thugs in a burned out building; it’s promoted by progressives in the entertainment industry. The black lives taken by its glamorization of drug dealing and violent killing also don’t matter.

You don’t show that black lives matter by supporting criminal control over entire black neighborhoods. When you fight the criminals who are taking black lives, when you roll back crime, then you show that black lives really matter. When you help criminals you are announcing that black lives don’t matter.

Despite its self-righteousness about black lives mattering, the left isn’t any good at saving them. It is however really good at taking them. Planned Parenthood’s black outreach arm announced on Twitter that it was joining the Ferguson protests because #BlackLivesMatter.

More African-American lives were ended at abortion clinics in the United States than anywhere else. But those black lives also don’t matter.

The 6,000 black people murdered in one year don’t matter. The 400,000 black babies killed in one year don’t matter.

Does a black man have to be killed by a white cop for his life to matter to the left? That’s the only conclusion that can be drawn from Ferguson.

To the #BlackLivesMatter crowd, the furious white hipsters crowding malls and staging die-ins, black lives only matter when they feed their own political agendas, their grudges and their own egos.

If black lives really mattered to the left, it would not have built an entire industry, an entire culture and an entire political movement around taking them.

Progressives only care about black people when they’re using them as weapons. For black lives to matter to them, they have to be dead at the hands of a white man. For black unemployment to matter to them, they have to be able to blame it on Republicans. Black poverty, black homelessness only matter to them when they can cash in on a social justice solution that doesn’t fix the problem.

The rest of the time they don’t pay attention and don’t care.

Black people exist for the political convenience of progressives. Black lives don’t matter to them except when they can make use of them. The master-slave relationship has shifted from the plantation to the poll inflating the self-esteem and power of the masters while destroying the lives of their slaves.

The Ferguson protests are not about saving black lives, but promoting the pro-crime politics that take them. Its message is that all black people are criminals and have to be protected from law enforcement. By turning Michael Brown into the ubiquitous black man, the left reveals how racist it really is.

If black lives truly matter, then they matter when the conditions of their misery can’t be blamed on white people. If black lives truly mattered to the protesters, they would fight crime instead of supporting the criminals taking black lives.

  • Yehuda Levi

    In the exact same way that leftists don’t want to blame Islam for all of the violence and beheadings around the world, leftists don’t want to blame the culture for the failure of many low income individuals.

    No, it is easier to blame everyone else than to walk up to the parents of these thugs and tell them they are doing a terrible job. After all, these ‘parents’ may have a different color to their skin which makes them a permanent victim and not responsible for anything they do (according to the leftist worldview).

    Obama, Sharpton and the other race hustlers have it all wrong. It is not the police, it is the parents. They don’t have the courage to admit it.

    • Bamaguje

      Indeed White people can’t fix broken Black families, only Blacks can.
      African-Americans are well advised to stop behaving like spoilt brats, take responsibility for their failures and stop all this blame-Whitey ‘racism’ crap.

    • Dallasyaherd

      “Blame the culture for the failure of many low income individuals.” I think you are a bit merciless to the poor, they do deserve more grace than any other group, problem is the creepies connected it to race. White poor tend to be prouder and report it less, so people obsess about dark brown skin, and also divert the problem of being poor to something other than the issue. Don’t confuse brown skin and poor. Poor needs defending but not by government, in my opinion. Poor is sacred, there are tens of millions of white poor, and 1 million Jewish impoverished in the US.

    Daniel has the gift of absorbing everything, and distilling down to pure and concise truth. “Criminal culture” is the real thread in the list of race based tragedies. “From the plantation to the poll” is my favorite synthesis of the LBJ legacy we are caught up in today. The black victim movement reminds me of the Palestinians in that both are in denial of who it is that is really killing them. Pop culture idiocy and politics are the media smoothie served up daily. Thank you Daniel for sorting out the sloppy thing.

    • truebearing

      The lever was one of mankinds earliest inventions, but a lever without a fulcrum is useless. Black people are the American Left’s go-to fulcrum for political leverage. Does that mean the Left cares about black lives? No. No more than the Neanderthal cared about the boulder he used as a fulcrum for leverage. Blacks aren’t human beings to the Left, they are objects — tools — to be used and then discarded when the job is done. The Left cares only about the leverage, and that goes for gays, women, hispanics, environmentalists, and every other group they have propped up for leverage.

      Antebellum plantation owners cared more about blacks than the Left does.

      • bigjulie

        So true, tb…and what is even worse is that the Left’s “use” of Blacks is primarily as a base the must be kept ignorant and unlearned, so they become much easier to manipulate to harm the scapegoated targets of Leftist opposition or be aroused to a mindless fever of destruction, on command by the Race Industry. David Horowitz tells the unvarnished truth of how Blacks have been
        outright SHAFTED time and time again by the Liberal Left, especially in their schooling (see TAKE NO PRISONERS) but almost all of them can be completely scared-off from reading it by Leftist “leaders” who simply state that such readings are “Right wing propaganda”…like the Wizard of Oz telling everyone to “pay no attention to the man” who was just exposed by Toto’s pulling the curtain away from his control center! Unfortunately so many have been mindlessly conditioned to obey, that they literally “pay no attention”, entirely to their own detriment.

        • truebearing

          Exactly, and their assualt on the white cops is all about breaking down the state, not remotely about civil rights. The Left attacks a strong nation with the intent of reducing it to a weak nation, then failed state, so that they can supplant it with an omnipotent state. They don’t believe in individual rights, nor is there a single instance where they didn’t create a police state to enforce their laws, so all of this phony handwringing over the deaths of blacks who refuse to follow the law is calculated. This is all political theater and a huge lie.

          • bigjulie

            And the incalculable amount of damage Obama needs to do before he leaves office is virtually unchallenged by the “Power-of-the-purse” given Constitutionally to the House, who see no problems with what this Presidential Fool is about to unleash, with absolutely no meaningful resistance from the people we expect to look out for our interests! I’m sorry, tb, but right now I am so demoralized by Republicans
            I could not support any of them anymore. How Boehner and McConnell are able to stand upright with no evidence of a backbone, WHATSOEVER, blows me away. One thing is for sure…there is no use, in my judgment, of any further attempts to “reform” the Republicans,…the only answer is a Conservative Third Party, and I mean the TEA Party!! It’s our only hope!!

  • cheechakos

    The black lives matter mantra is baffling exactly for the reasons you pointed out.
    No one is overwhelmingly killing blacks but blacks. Blacks witness this every day but are totally disconnected from reality and statistics.

    Black officers are disproportionately more likely than white police to kill black people. 73.5% of those killed by black police are black. For white police the percentage is 27.6%.

    Justified police-homicides in 2012 : 426
    white men: 267
    black men: 128
    white women: 6
    black women: 4

    Total murders in 2012 : 13,063
    white men: 4,332
    black men: 5,745
    white women: 1,651
    black women: 858

    Look at the abortion numbers in NYC. Black lives matter? I don’t think so. I read somewhere that 78% of abortions in NYC were black in 2011 alone. Black lives matter? This is all propaganda to keep racial tension ginned up. Remember, the Left absolutely loves segregated America, so it is in their interests to keep folks thinking that it is 1962 and that James Meredith is just now enrolling at Ole Miss. I bet Sharpton opened up a bottle of champagne when the NYC grand jury decision came down: he’s in business for another year.

      • truebearing

        Progressives like Sanger saw abortion as a tool for controlling human populations, but they soon discovered that they could use blacks as a tool as well, so they backed off on their overtly racist campaign to eliminate them. They wouldn’t want to kill off people that could be used as human fulcrums, after all. There is always time for that once they acquire totalitarian control.

        There is a hitch to the white Left’s plan, however. They have ceded so much power to blacks that people like Obama and Holder have risen to power, and they hate whites. Like the Romans using the Visigoths as mercenaries, only to have them turn on Rome, the white Left may find that their shock troops want all of the power since they are the ones supplying the muscle. The white Left may find a coup within their revolution.

        • Contemptuous Maximus

            It has happened already to some extent, but the ghetto culture persists, and that is trapping millions of blacks in the ignorant mindset the Left is exploiting.

            The Left is good at facilitating degenerate cultures. They know those cultures will fail, providing them with a diseased body politic on which they can feed. The Left is parasitic to the point of being cannabalistic.

    Blacks are God’s little children. All they want to do is play (sports and entertainment – song and dance). They don’t want to share in the work, just want to have things given to them, deserved or not. They whine, cry and throw tantrums (riots) when things don’t go their way. They rant and rave and destroy things, mostly their own. God’s little children.

    Daniel, you are quite masterful in your choice of words, but I had to read this one twice: “Missouri has a black homicide rate that is nearly double the nationwide homicide rate for black people. And it’s nearly six times higher than the overall murder rate in Missouri.” You are also quite prolific, so maybe you wrote it in too much of a hurry.

  • Joe Esposito

    Obama, Holder and all the other liberal left wing racist like themselves want to end the American culture and its influence on the world. These Marxist promote murder in the inner city and now have convinced liberal whites that murder is ok as long as its not by a cops gun. These liberal pigs don’t care one bit about young blacks or any black in America. The white leftist encourage abortion in black communities, fatherless children are celebrated with more welfare hand-outs. Its time to ignore the black community and their problems and let them deal with it themselves.

  • http://libertyandculture.blogspot.com/ Jason P

    I was asking my wife earlier today: why do blacks identify with criminals and not crime victims? Michael Brown was a vicious thug. The rioters torching Ferguson in solidarity are criminal sympathizers and criminals. The vast majority of victims are innocent hardworking blacks. Yet, public black spokesmen identify with the perps, not the victims.

    Daniel, addresses this important question and it should be a soul-searching question for everyone in the black communities. In short, buying into the left’s mindset hasn’t served blacks well. As David Horowitz points out: look at Detroit, Newark, and Oakland. Fifty years of Democratic rule!

      Eric Garner should not have died.

      He clearly said “I can’t breathe”. The cops were overzealous and the EMT were too stupid to prevent his death.

      Garners family will sue NYC and will win a large settlement.

      • http://www.apollospeaks.com/ ApolloSpeaks

        Yeah. Garner clearly said “I can’t breathe.” Which you can’t do in a stragulating chokehold. The terrible stress of Garner stupidly resisting arrest most likely was too much for his weak heart to bear. Whether he could have been saved is another matter.

        • truebearing

          You make a good point about the strangulating choke hold. If air can’t get in, it can’t get out, therefore speaking is an impossibility.

          In a high school wrestling match, I pinned a guy using a legal hold we called the “gorilla grab.” He didn’t get up after the ref slapped the mat indicating a pin. He was unconscious and had to be carried off the mat. He couldn’t tell the ref he was choking, and I didn’t know it either. Fortunately he was okay afterward, but it was a little scary. After the match was over my coach told me that the “legal” hold I was using can be dangerous if the opponent turns the wrong way when struggling to escape, effectively choking himself. The ref should have stopped the match, but didn’t hear anything indicating strangulation. If Garner could speak, he wasn’t technically strangled.

          Garner was quite fat throught the upper body. My guess is that he suffered from sleep apnea, which can seriously weaken the heart. His own weight, plus that of the officers wrestling with him, is likely what asphyxiated him.

      • bigjulie

        Sorry, but Eric did not die at the scene. He died in the ambulance on his way to the hospital, and the causes of his death were delineated for the Grand Jury. His family will get something, but it will not be a monstrous settlement. He caused his own death by resisting arrest!!

  • TruthBeTold

    Blacks are know for turning their criminals into civil rights heroes. They tried it with Trayvon Martin. The case for Michael Brown as a civil rights martyr was even worse.

    The leftist leadership (and not the media goofs like Sharpton) have always known exactly what they are doing. They have used ignorant young whites and blacks to cause chaos, destruction and to overwhelm the system for many years, and do so for a specific purpose. They have since added a great many illegal aliens to this chaos. The left cares nothing about these people and that will become quite clear once they have achieved their ends. What they WANT is the destruction of the middle class, including those black small business owners in Ferguson. This way is slower for this leadership, but they can’t very well murder them in the streets as they did the kulaks, can they?
    Don’t think it is happening here?

  • John Tyler

    To the leftist it matters not at all who is murdered or which group(s) is exterminated.
    What matters is WHO does the killing.
    Thus the never ending reminders of Hitler’s 10 (12?) million gas chamber victims, but never a word about Stalin’s 20 (50?) million victims or Mao’s 70 million victims or Pol Pots de-population of Cambodia.
    Castro can travel the world with no problems, but Pinochet winds up getting arrested overseas.

    It has always been this way and will never change; it is nothing new.

      Much of that might be because Americans feel a closer connection to Hitler’s victims (which wiped out close to one-third of the Jewish population in one swoop, and also targeted Catholics and Jehovah’s Witnesses – Pope John Paul II had to go into hiding during WWII after the Jagiellonian was raided – than to the Southeast Asians in Cambodia or to the victims in the Gulag.

  • Dan

    Black lives matter…until they move in next door to you. I used to live in a “progressive” suburban college town that prided itself on “diversity” and “inclusion,” notwithstanding the fact that the “progressive” element in town – the same kind of people that you see at Michael Brown protests – was predominantly white, upper middle class, and highly educated. A few years ago a real estate developer sought to build low-income homes on the last piece of vacant land in town, so that the town could meet its state-mandated quota for affordable housing. That’s when the “progressives” mobilized to block the project, on the grounds that the high-density construction would create traffic problems and therefore contribute to global warming. It’s amazing how the Left can use its “climate change” canard to justify anything, including the Left’s own blatant racism and class-ism.

    “If black lives really mattered, then the life of a young black man shot down by a criminal would matter at least as much as Michael Brown. But those black lives don’t matter.”

    This is the salient point of this debate and is the red herring of the Left. The countless nameless multitude killed everyday are worth nothing to the leftist media and to race hustlers writ large. I submit that to the megaphone holders trumpeting racism, these lost lives are mere chattel — irrelevant and UNWORTHY of mention. They don’t make good sound bites or attention-getting YouTube videos; they don’t make a good springboard for the political influencers. For elitists journalists coming to you quaffed in their prime time makeup, opinions, jabs, one-liners, and overall accusations at the ready, people would GASP if something befell them. They are after all indispensable; their lives certainly worthy of prominence — they and the poster-victims they selectively choose to exploit for their own blame-assigning agenda.

    Penn State student ‘die-in’ stresses awareness; university monitoring social media, urges civility toward Ferguson protesters

    A group of Penn State students organized a protest on campus Tuesday in reaction to the events in Ferguson, Mo. The students dressed in black and laid on the floor of the HUB-Robeson Center building for 45 minutes, many wearing signs that said “Black Lives Matter.” NABIL K. MARK — CDT photo

    http://www.centredaily.com/2014/12/02/4488763_penn-state-student-die-in-stresses.html?sp=/99/264/&rh=1#storylink=cpy

    —————————–

    We were recently told in this paper by a group in this community that “black lives matter”. My response to them is that “all lives matter” to especially include those in law enforcement, the vast majority of which are outstanding individuals doing a thankless job in putting their lives on the line for us to prevent anarchy that results when the rule of just law is trashed which is exactly what happened in Ferguson Missouri, just law which, sadly, was encouraged to be trashed by race baiters at the highest level of our government whose modus operandi is to encourage anarchy for the sake of their political survival, which has been the modus operandi of despots from time immemorial.

    I can guarantee you that the life of my son who is a Kentucky State Trooper matters to his family and friends.

    The overwhelming evidence both physical and from eyewitnesses to include African Americans supplied to the Grand Jury, which in the opinion of all those still capable of rational thought, never should have been convened in the first place but was because of the unconscionable inflammatory rhetoric of the Obama Administration which never lets a contrived crisis go to waste, undeniably proved that the account of the Ferguson Police Officer was correct, i.e., he had a right to defend himself.

    What are our police supposed to do, nothing in the face of crimes being committed to include attacks upon their person when trying to prevent those crimes? The sane answer with a resounding NO!

  • De Doc

    The ability to self-critique is perhaps one of the most precious gifts humans have and so often we fail to do it. In the case of the Left and the mainstream of Black America, this critical component is missing. They keep repeating the same self-destructive patterns, because they refuse to take an honest self-assessment to address the problems.

  • kcsummer

    The liberal message is cunning in its deceptiveness. What it appears to many to be is a hug, a concerned look, a “there, there, I understand”. But consider the effect of this kindness: it promotes more pain and more suffering because it denies the truth. The truth doesn’t matter to those pushing it – the strange thing is that to their “prey” or the objects of their deception, it doesn’t seem to matter either.

    White lives matter also. That’s why George Zimmerman and Officer Wilson had to protect themselves against their black assailants.

    Right about the wicked getting enough sleep. In Obama’s case, when he is not sleeping, we know he gets enough golf too. Truth has it, that there is no ‘rest for the weary’.
    And weary we are, of suffering the nightmare of the ‘Left’ as Leadership, including people like Obama/Holder and Hillary. . .ad nauseam and Leftist, like-minded, who no doubt, despite their carnage of America. . .sleep like babies.

    Excellent. This needs to be forwarded to Obama and Holder. Unfortunately they’re not interested in hearing the truth. They’re all about lies. That’s what they like and that’s what they promote. They think we’re stupid? We know what they’re doing. Their goal is to create unrest. What they’re doing to the blacks is sad and unfortunate. They should be trying to help and advise the youth in a positive way but instead they promote them as victims to create civil unrest. It’s very sad to think we have two more years of this to deal with. By the time Obama is done the blacks will have taken many steps backward. What a shame.
