I don't recall that ever being proven, or even circumstantial evidence being presented showing such a thing.
I thought the group name was "Black Lives Matter".
So black lives only matter if they're taken by white cops who are assumed to be racist just because the cop is white? I see. Thanks for clarifying in your usual gimmicky way.
Considering i said white cops being targeted often because of racial injustice and police brutality your questions are pointless. I never claimed they need to be racially motivated. Sweet strawman none the less.
Organization/movements have names. Literally never do they encompass everything they do or don't do. That's not how names work. Do i need to explain this to you as you were a toddler?
Leading causes of death with African-Americans in 2017 were heart diseases, cancer, accidents, strokes, diabetes, CLRD and then homicide. Why aren't you crying about them for not focusing on any of the 6 more common reasons of death? I though they were called BLM? Why aren't they on the frontlines battling against diseases of the heart? Do you see how fucking stupid that question is?
LOL
You talk about strawmen and then insert the last paragraph. Homicide is a major cause of death for young black men -- much, much, much higher per capita than young white men. 4 of the 6 causes of death you mentioned occur to older people. Everyone has to die, and there will always be a "most common cause of death" for any population group. We're talking about crime here, and how it disproportionately takes young black lives in the US. Try and keep up.
I don't know if you've been paying attention, but the narrative is that the police are an existential threat to black people in the US. The true numbers aren't being stated, because those numbers would make it look like an extremely minor problem.
About 1 out of 3 million black people were killed by police while unarmed in 2018. Is that worth burning down our cities and making major changes to law enforcement policy everywhere?
Black Lives Matter isn't just a group name. It's also a social justice slogan. People shout it in the streets. It's painted onto Major League Baseball fields and NBA courts. The message is that we should start caring about black lives, and not just dismiss them as inconsequential. Yet Democrats have been doing exactly that for years -- ignoring the high murder rate in black communities, because they already have their votes.
Keep talking in circles like you always do, though. You're very good at avoiding taking on any direct issue, and just typing a lot of peripheral nonsense to make it look like you're keeping to the topic.
