[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who cares about Chicago? Nobody.[/quote]

Except when a white cop shoots a black guy ........... and then Chicago matters and BLM decides that it warrants protesting and inconveniencing shoppers.[/quote]

Ah, so inconvenienced rich white shoppers is more of a big deal than a cop gunning down a teenager with 15 bullets and then lying about it.

A teenage black life is worth less than a white consumer being delayed 30 minutes while shopping.

That's basically what's being said here...  And sadly it proves BLM's point.

Yes.   My family is Egyptian and the protests that started about police bruality, by the way, on National Police Day, shut down the city near Tahrir Square.  For YEARS.   And yet, as far as I could tell, most Americans were cheering them on.   But let BLACK Americans protest police brutality? Unacceptable.   :roll: [/quote]

You are missing the point: it is not that police brutality should be condoned. It is that thousands of blacks being killed by other blacks should matter a lot more. If there were no killings by the police, you would still have a horrendous number of blacks being killed by other blacks. It has been going on for years and merely getting worse.[/quote]

black on black crime (silly term) is down 35-40 percent. I have no idea whats going on in Chicago.....I never viewed chicago as violent like DC or LA in the mid 90's, so its surprising to me. Also look at incarceration rates for blacks compared to other groups the last 10-15 years its actually decreased while other groups are increasing[/quote]
