Black Lives Matter activists get exposed frequently due to their hypocrisy and distorted use of facts. Their emotional appeals often ignore reality.
While reading about the death of Tuscaloosa police Investigator Dornell Cousette last week, I was once again shocked—tongue-in-cheek—at the silence of BLM.
To date, there have been four black police officers murdered in 2019. Nevertheless, I haven’t noticed a whimper of protest from BLM.
Ignoring selective black deaths at the hands of violent killers would be unthinkable if BLM aspirations were pure, but they are not. That is why they also ignore black homicide rates in Chicago, Baltimore, St. Louis and all inner cities in America.
Actually, for a black person to receive the backing of BLM, they need to engage in unlawful activity while failing to comply with lawful orders from a peace officer to comply or surrender—at least that has been the common denominator thus far. Then, and only then, are they deemed worthy to be used to “promote social justice.”
Therefore, I’d like to take a play out of the City of San Francisco’s playbook. They have renamed “convicted felon” to “justice involved person.” So I propose a name change for BLM as the title of the activist organization is really incongruent with their goals. Consequently, I believe “Black Activists Demand Exceptions Based Upon Historical Injustices and Perceived Mistreatment” is more accurate. Yeah, it’s a mouthful, but they sling so much crap I thought it was worthy.
Now I would like to acknowledge and honor the black police officers murdered in 2019, and left on the side of the road by BLM.
