George Floyd and Tony Timpa. The horrible murder of the former has set the US on fire, but no one has heard the name of the latter. Both men were unarmed and murdered by police in the exact same way. Tony Timpa was white, so no one cared. It did not suit the fake narrative of police brutality against blacks in America that groups like Black Lives Matter (BLM) perpetuate to a nation of morons who do not care about facts; a group of useful idiots that unwittingly give them power and control. Black lives do matter; that is unquestionable. They are human beings who bear the image of God. But not ALL black lives matter to BLM; they are selective in the cases they use for their race-baiting propaganda and agitation. They are the modern day incarnation of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson; the pre-eminent race-hustlers of this generation.

A few nights ago, David Dorn, a retired black police captain, was gunned down in the riots for trying to stop black looters from stealing TV’s. (WARNING: the video is graphic).  His name was not mentioned on CNN, MSNBC, or by any spokesperson for the BLM movement. Black lives matter, but not ALL black lives matter. David Dorn’s murder does not fit the narrative of racism and black persecution. Neither do any of the 23 murdered in 84 shootings in Chicago over the previous weekend; just another regular weekend in the windy city. These lives DO NOT matter to BLM because BLM is an organization of race-peddlers and race-baiters who do not really care about the real issues facing the black community. They are a political organization out for power and control using black grievances as their currency.

By watching all the unintelligent and emotional virtue signallers on social media this past week, it is easy to see how they are so easily manipulated into carrying water for groups like BLM. They throw around terms like “white privilege”, “systemic racism”, “white supremacist”, and “oppression”, without having a single clue about their meanings or origins (For the record, Privilege Theory and Systemic Racism are both myths derived from Marxist ideology and used to guilt people and remove their power. A separate article will appear on that in the future). Young, white, liberal millennials are perhaps the dumbest demographic on planet earth and their posts on social media often border on the comical: “If you don’t post a black square on Instagram it’s because you’re a racist;” “here’s a list of Netflix movies to watch to educate yourself on racism,” etc. They are devoid of knowledge and ignorant of the topic, yet need to virtue signal online for social credit and standing amongst their peers. They would never think to read a book by Thomas Sowell or Walter Williams, two black economists who have written extensively on this issue, and many others, for over 40 years, and present the entirety of the picture of the challenges facing the black community. Millennials aren’t interested in learning, only signalling their virtue to their followers.

Some facts to consider:

–Blacks kill more blacks than whites kill blacks. Blacks kill more whites than whites kill whites. And blacks kill more whites than whites kill blacks. FBI crime stats located here.

–Blacks make up 13% of the US population and commit 53% of all murders and 60% of all robberies.

–In 2019, 1004 people were killed by cops; 235 were black. 41 of the 1004 were unarmed. 19 of those were white, and 9 were black.

–In 2018, there were 7,407 black homicide victims; 70% of those were killed by blacks. Assuming a comparable number for 2019, that would mean those 9 unarmed blacks killed by cops represents only 0.1% of all black murder victims.

–Since 2015, the number of unarmed black men killed by cops has fallen to less than 10 per year.

–Over the past two years, more cops have been killed by blacks than unarmed blacks by cops.

–A cop is 18.5 times more likely to be killed by a black man than an unarmed black man is to be killed by a cop. Read that one again.

–Black people get killed by cops at a lower rate than whites.

Until BLM addresses these facts and statistics, we can only conclude that they don’t really care about ALL black lives; only those lives they can use to wield for political power. The predominant narrative of overwhelming violence towards blacks by the police force, pushed by BLM and the media, is not supported by the data and is objectively false. That does not mean that injustices has never happened; it just doesn’t happen at the rate we are told to believe.

On the day of his death, George Floyd was pulled over for using counterfeit money (stealing), which is a crime. His autopsy revealed he had both meth and fentanyl in his system and was driving under the influence at the time; also a crime. Previous to this, he was in jail four separate times; the last time for pointing a gun at the belly of a pregnant woman during a home invasion. If he obeyed the law, the interaction would not have taken place. Stealing should not warrant a “death penalty” but living as a law abiding citizen with minimal police interaction will ensure this doesn’t happen to you. People do not want to talk about the high rate of black crime that leads to these police interactions.

If George Floyd was white, would anyone have cared? The answer is clearly no. This reaction, and the riots than ensued, were a function of the racism narrative pushed by the media and hate groups like BLM. There is not a “pandemic” of police violence towards blacks. The data in no way supports that assertion.

Study after study has been done and the results are always the same. If a person completes high school, gets a full time job, and does not have a child out of wedlock, they have a 98% percent chance on NOT living in poverty; this occurs across all racial lines. That is the simple key to life success. But sadly, in the black community, that is not the reality. In the 1950’s, the black family was more intact than white families. Then something changed. Today, 77% of black kids are born out of wedlock and the incidence of single-motherhood is alarming and crippling to good life outcomes for their children. Fatherlessness is the pandemic affecting the black community, and no one wants to talk about it.

In 2008, Barack Obama gave a speech in a church on Father’s Day. He could not utter these words today for these words are now considered “racist”. No one wants to hear and reflect on the truth. He said in part:

But if we are honest with ourselves, we’ll admit that what too many fathers also are is missing — missing from too many lives and too many homes. They have abandoned their responsibilities, acting like boys instead of men. And the foundations of our families are weaker because of it.

You and I know how true this is in the African-American community. We know that more than half of all black children live in single-parent households, a number that has doubled — doubled — since we were children. We know the statistics — that children who grow up without a father are five times more likely to live in poverty and commit crime; nine times more likely to drop out of schools and 20 times more likely to end up in prison. They are more likely to have behavioral problems, or run away from home or become teenage parents themselves. And the foundations of our community are weaker because of it.

How many times in the last year has this city lost a child at the hands of another child? How many times have our hearts stopped in the middle of the night with the sound of a gunshot or a siren? How many teenagers have we seen hanging around on street corners when they should be sitting in a classroom? How many are sitting in prison when they should be working, or at least looking for a job? How many in this generation are we willing to lose to poverty or violence or addiction? How many?

Yes, we need more cops on the street. Yes, we need fewer guns in the hands of people who shouldn’t have them. Yes, we need more money for our schools, and more outstanding teachers in the classroom, and more after-school programs for our children. Yes, we need more jobs and more job training and more opportunity in our communities.

But we also need families to raise our children. We need fathers to realize that responsibility does not end at conception. We need them to realize that what makes you a man is not the ability to have a child — it’s the courage to raise one.

Wise words indeed. If black lives really mattered to BLM, they would stop the nonsense about police violence and racism and look to heal their community morally from within. It all starts with the family. Improve this first and the problems of crime and poverty will begin to disappear.

Both blacks and whites face challenges; some similar and some different. Life isn’t easy nor is it fair to anyone. No one man is more valuable than another because of certain immutable traits they were born with. To say the black man in inferior or that all white men are racists is the very definition of racism. We should treat everyone with kindness and respect; no matter our differences. We should look to help those around us whose lives are difficult. Stop the name calling. Stop the sloganeering. Stop the virtue signalling. Stop the race-baiting. Look to help those less fortunate, no matter the colour of their skin. It’s really that simple.

This is a must watch:
