Black Lies Matter

Article debunking BLM statistics: http://bluelivesmatter.blue/black-lives-matter-statistics-damn-lies/ Why is it after every shooting these people come out the woodwork to promote their lies? Black people are not killed more by police officers than other races (like BLM claims), in fact unarmed blacks & unarmed whites are killed the same rate (3%). Also more than double whites are killed by police officers than blacks, despite blacks making up about 50% of violent crime & less than 14% of the population. Yes police brutality is a problem, but to lie to people & say that blacks are the ones that are more affected by this & claiming its the reason we need BLM, is wrong. All races are affected by it, but instead of focusing on actual issues that matter (like black on black crimes which claims more lives than police) they focus on dividing this country by lying to those that are easily manipulated. This movement is a joke & I honestly don't understand how people don't see that. They don't report on the 40 blacks that are killed by other blacks in Chicago almost every day. However, the minute a story like Philando Castille & Alton Sterling comes up, they don't hesitate a second to spin this into a racial problem instead of a police brutality problem. Where's the outrage when a cop is killed by a black man or when a cop kills a white man? Other races that are affected by police brutality are pushed aside because they don't race bait or are not as controversial. Truly disgusted & tired of all these people that claim they care while all they want is segregation & not unity. As always I highly recommend watching this video as it highlights the truth about the black lives matter movement. Edit: Paul's thoughts on the Dallas sniper event that ended with 5 cops killed & 11 shot https://youtu.be/ByE_CpXIjRA Examples below of the behavior BLM allows

    The original purpose of BLM was to shed light on the corrupt justice system in relation to the black community. As with anything, it changed with all of the people supporting it. Some are incredibly hostile and/or racist. Some have the audacity to claim that other minority groups unlearn their anti-blackness when the black community is no saint when it comes to prejudice. But others are focused on the corrupt justice system But these same people also advocate for all minorities and whites to a degree The black community faces a unique problem in the U.S. I won't say it's worse than any other minority group as I'm only Black and Hispanic myself (but never truly fit in, don't think I ever will) but, it is a situation that needs to be dealt with. Of course, I just think that some people in power are corrupt and abuse that power on American citizens, which doesn't sit well with me. The "All Lives Matter" hash tag is the bullshit one. We don't live in a country where everyone is treated fairly or even respected. Some white people get called white trash by [i]other[/i] white people. Some black people call other blacks n****rs. We do have a problem.
