"Black Lives Matter might more accurately be named White Killers Matter,
because it only seems to care about black lives that are ended by white people.
And that, of course, is because Black Lives Matter isn’t about justice, but about racial agitation."But the routine taking of black lives by other blacks generates no interest in the mainstream media. Forty-three hundred people, including two dozen children under the age of 12, were shot in Chicago last year. Had 4,300 white people been shot, there would have been a revolution, and the media would have set up headquarters in the city to cover the breakdown of law and order. But because the victims were nearly all black, few pay attention—besides the police. Some Black Lives Don’t Matter | City Journal

Your Say
From what I read nobody, but nobody, in Chicago or outside Chicago, gives a rat's ass about the Chicago murder rate.

And yet people live there. Weird.

Not people, savage animals.
Black lives - do NOT matter - to other blacks.
I don't care who kills and who gets killed as long as I'm not involved, but if I have to be one of them I'll do my best to me the former.

Political Correctness plus White Privilege theory equals submitting to being a punching bag from now till the Sun grows cold for violent morons, who couldn't build or maintain the civilization which gives them prosperity and personal liberty never to be known in the wretched hellholes of their ancestors, not if they had ten thousand years.
Unconscious racism and implicit privilege are thus deal breakers; with no hope of ever reconciling to equality, there is no further obligation on the part of the people who pay the bills and maintain the civilization to provide support to those who make combat zones out of anyplace they settle. It's not respect or simple humanity which keeps the checks coming at this point, only simple physical fear and the calculation of cost/benefit.

Absolutely absurd. Where are the protests for black on black violence? If you are dead, you are dead and not sure why it matters more based on the color of the skin of the person that pulls the trigger.

"...not if they had ten thousand years."
Those ancestors had those years and STILL didn't come up with the wheel on their own.
