I believe that black lives matter, but not any more than any other race. I don't care if the gang bangers wish to kill each other, but I do feel for all the black babies that get aborted each year. When you have more black babies killed every year than born, we have a problem not related to gang bangers.

Being black should not have any more special significance than being any other color. Americans have gone out of their way to make right something that happened over a century ago, and now it ought to be put to rest. If blacks have not taken advantage of everyone bending over backwards in perceived guilt, to better themselves they have no one now to blame than themselves. It's not my fault, or my family's fault. We never had slaves in my family. My family is a family of German immigrants that never owned a slave.

I will reiterate that as far as I am concerned, gang bangers can kill each other. But children should be protected, regardless of race. Those black lives do matter.
