How to save more Black lives

[GoodLife]

Black lives matter, but we are not going to save many by focusing on Police brutality.

9 unarmed blacks were killed by Police last year. I think we are already past 9 black deaths caused in the past week of riots (protesting Police brutality)

Several thousand blacks were killed by blacks last year. Every year thousands of black on black homicides. From 1976 to 2005, 94 percent of black victims were killed by other African Americans.

Want to save more black lives? Focus on black brutality against blacks, the Police are amateurs in comparison.

Or focus on black families with two parents so kids can grow up in a stable environment where kids are able to learn the value of education and right and wrong..

If the black leadership really cared about their people this is where the focus should be.

If you really cared about this topic you'd make some effort to learn about it first.

tl;dr version: MOST crimes against children by one of their parents, were committed in white families where both parents were still married to each other.

Moral of the story: you don't have to be a single black parent to commit a crime or devalue your child's life. You should probably be white instead, since the odds are greater that you'll do exactly that.

One parent of ANY color will have a harder time managing child-rearing than a happily married couple of ANY color. But as you demonstrate so amazingly clearly, a single black parent will automatically be placed lower on the food chain, simply by virtue of the color of his/her skin.

The thread is directed to saving black lives. Obviously the same recommendations apply no matter the race.

Irrelevant info as usual. The point was more blacks are killed by blacks than by police.

Silly me thought the topic was saving more Black lives.

In this world we live in tough to earn a good living without two breadwinners in the family. A single parent of any race will have a tough time doing that.

As you should know a much higher percentage of Black families are single parents as compared to other groups. Do you not think this is a problem?

Unfortunately facts don't support agendas.

One way to save more black lives would be for them to STOP BREAKING THE LAW. The same is true if the topic was saving more white or Hispanic lives as well.

Funny how committing crimes get them more time to spend with police.

I would believe that many informed people see that if ANYTHING DOES NOT fit the narrative or goals of most of the Media or political parties, it would not be published or discussed.

On the other hand if ANYTHING DOES fit their goals or narrative - THAT is the focus.

I have 2 News sites on my laptop that I review a couple times per day. USA Today & Fox News. On most days - the "reporting" is like a Prism. One view from primarily Left<<<, the other primarily from the Right>>>.

This said, it is quite simple to see how ANYONE can/will have their attitudes and views formed if they depend upon ONE news source.

Personally I am an Independent, and split my views on the majority of issues facing the USA & world. But, since March, I have witnessed 'one side' becoming so entrenched in their sole goal - much of their 'news' seems to be untrustworthy. That is my opinion NOW. sad.

Confused as to why it doesn't matter when they kill each other 365 days a year. All across the country just turn on any local news station in the Am see how many were shot over night
Yet no one protest that

All this picking fly drops out of the pepper......
blacks kill more blacks.
And IT DOES NOT EVER GET ADDRESSED.

Your 100% right. Must fit the agenda or they will not talk about it.

Tragedy that the St Louis detective was murdered. Why is that not headlines?

Because it was a black cop killed by a black.

Police brutality just sounds better than why are we killing thousands of each other every year.

Changing their behavior might help. Stop shooting one another. Stop committing crimes which necessitate police action. Get an education, get a job, work responsibly, raise children well. Is that too much to ask?

For far too many and for so long.....it must be!!!

So sad that immigrants can come here with no money, cannot speak the language and with a different skin color and very quickly live the American dream

But the rest of us are called racist for pointing this out.

It's far easier to suck off the system you hate.
Instead of making an effort to change it

Welfare reform is the answer. If people are able bodied give them some time to straighten themselves out and than if no job or attempt to earn a living cut them off.

If I gave my children everything they would have NO desire to work.

Think you are missing a "NO" just before desire.

Responsibility of parents to instill in their kids a work ethic.

Soooo true. NO would be their desire.

[OrangeBlossomBaby]

To save more black lives, stop adding "but" to the sentence "Black Lives Matter."

Black lives matter. PERIOD. End of statement. Full stop.

There is no but. As soon as you include a but you change the meaning from "black lives matter" to "black lives don't matter as much as whatever comes after the but."

When you BELIEVE that black lives matter - without any other qualifications or conditions - you will BEGIN the process of saving black lives.

I’m guessing your missing the Black lives matter regarding police killing unarmed black people. We all know this has become an issue in our country and has been for many of years. For the record I’m a white Bostonian and am sickened by the problems with our bad apples on the force.

I came across this recently, which immediately made me wonder why the majority of self-described Christians...aren't speaking up in support of BLM? :confused:

As with so much in The Bible, we tend to select what we want and then profess our goodness. In the end, we will be judged on the whole, not simply what we found easier within the confines of our prejudices and hate.

The most statistically effectively way to save lives would be to get people to stop killing each other, and in this particular case, people of the same color. But apparently that doesn't give people a reason to be outraged, so here we are. I guess some people either really don't want meaningful change or they simply choose not to recognize (or can't understand) reality? Go figure?

[ColdNoMore]

I would think real Christians...would be supporting Black Lives Matter. :confused:
