Is the "Black Lives Matter" movement getting out of hand?

Welp. I'm African American and I can say that I'm tired of seeing and hearing about this "black lives matter" bullshit. Can we just let it go?

Like any movement, there are all kinds of people involved. Unfortunately, many making the news are protesting violently and don't care about racial equality, they want black lives to matter more.

They could do a lot for their cause by carefully picking their battles better. An armed criminal being shot by a cop is not something they should be bringing attention to.

Unfortunately this country has become to the point that people would rather chant "Black Lives Matter" than admit that their friend, son, dad, mom, cousin, daughter was breaking the law and tried to harm the officer. I wish more people though like you.

The movement needs to realize that Black lives matter but thug/criminals lives do not

It's been out of hand. Hopefully, President Trump will take whatever measures necessary to put an end to this movement.

Everything the brain dead liberal idiots do gets out of hand, from political correctness to black lives matter. If black lives didn't matter then why has America done so much for the black people?

America has been the best country on earth for black folks. It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever known. Wright ought to go down on his knees and thank God he is an American.

Second, No people anywhere has done more to lift up blacks than white Americans. Untold trillions have been spent since the '60s on welfare, food stamps, rent supplements, section 8 housing, Pell grants, student loans, legal services, Medicaid, Earned Income Tax Credits and poverty programs designed to bring the African-American community into the mainstream.

Governments, businesses and colleges have engaged in discrimination against white folks -- with affirmative action, contract set-asides and quotas -- to advance black applicants over white applicants.

Churches, foundations, civic groups, schools and individuals all over America have donated their time and money to support soup kitchens, adult education, day care, retirement and nursing homes for blacks.

We hear the grievances. Where is the gratitude?

0bama talks about new 'ladders of opportunity' for blacks. Let him go to Altoona, and Johnstown, and ask the white kids in Catholic schools how many were visited lately by Ivy League recruiters handing out scholarships for "deserving' white kids"...?

Is white America really responsible for the fact that the crime and incarceration rates for blacks are seven times those of white America? Is it really white America's fault that illegitimacy in the black community has hit 70 percent and the black dropout rate from high schools in some cities has reached 50 percent?

Is that the fault of white America or, first and foremost, a failure of the black community itself?

As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is this idiot 0bama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time?

Is idiot 0bama aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse?

We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena. And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.

Sorry, 0bama, some of us have heard it all before, about 40 years and 40 trillion tax dollars ago.

I agree. It is ludicrous that a community would side with a criminal and not police. It shows how little trust the police have earned in these communities that they are supposed to serve. It's amazing this department can even function. Very pathetic police work, if you ask me. Sounds like the police have to do a lot more to build trust in this minority community.

this "movement " started because a thug who had just robbed a store tried to take the gun from a police officer and was shot. It has been a fraud from the beginning.

When are people going to realize that a person, black, white, yellow, green, or whatever is a person with a parent, sibling, or maybe a kid. All lives matter one way or another.

"Black Lives Matter" is actually a "We Hate Whites" Movement
