I DON’T KNOW ABOUT THE REST OF THE COUNTRY, but south Florida has had a number of black people murdered recently.
Not by cops.
Not by non-blacks.
All the murders were blacks killing blacks.
When a white murders a black several faces can be expected to be seen on the tv news.
I term these people “tv activists.”
These people never show their faces when a white person is murdered by a white person, nor do they appear when a white or Latino is murdered by a black person.
Perhaps non-black lives don’t matter.
Likewise, no one sees the founders of the Black Lives Matter movement when a black person is murdered by another black.
Do black lives matter only when the person taking the black life is a non-black?
There is some things wrong with tv activists and Black Lives Matter (BLM) folks.
- It is wrong to ignore black on black crime.
It is wrong to ignore black on non-black crime.
It is wrong to be solely focused on the black issue.
Murder is not about color or lack thereof.
Likewise drive-by shootings.
Ditto shootings of innocent bystanders — such as the 12 year-old boy wounded apparently by a wild shot.
While guns in criminals’ hands is the problem, guns themselves are not the problem. Neither are the liberals’ favorite whipping boys: the NRA and conservatives.
If the gun wasn’t available, a knife or blunt object will do.
Criminals like guns because they can harm from a safe distance.
While it is not the problem for either the tv activists or the BLM founders, it is a black problem. Blacks are not the only “owners” of the problem, but locally they are the most frequent perpetrators and victims.
The problem is not helping the police get the criminals off the street.
No one seems to see anything, no one seems to know anything.
A person is injured or murdered and no one has anything to tell the cops.
Omerta1 apparently is not just for the mafia any more.
If the tv activists and the BLM leadership really want to help blacks, they need to visit the areas — not just south Florida but criss-cross the country — to encourage their followers to work with the police to help rid their areas of criminals OF ANY RACE. They also could work with the police to help develop a level of trust with the people. People who don’t talk to the police soon find the police don’t ask them for help. That’s a loose-loose situation for all concerned.
With all the crime — murders, rapes, shootings to name a few — the tv activists and BLM leadership need to be active; come out from wherever they are and drum up support to help end the crime, no matter who commits the act.
Come out, come out, wherever you are.

PLAGIARISM is the act of appropriating the literary composition of another, or parts or passages of his writings, or the ideas or language of the same, and passing them off as the product of one’s own mind.
Truth is an absolute defense to defamation. Defamation is a false statement of fact. If the statement was accurate, then by definition it wasn’t defamatory.
