If Black Lives Mattered

 

The Sheriff of Milwaukee has a way of telling the truth bluntly:

CNN’s Poppy Harlow interviewed Milwaukee Sheriff David Clarke about the recent protests that some in the Black Community have sparked after the police related deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner.

Harlow asked the Sheriff, who has been on several news shows on Fox and others, about a tweet he sent out implying that if Black lives mattered the protesters would be outside abortion clinics because of the high numbers of black babies killed by abortion.

The tweet sent by Sheriff Clarke, a black man himself, was sent to Mitch Smith, Journalist in the Chicago bureau of The New York Times and read, “If only these faux protesters were asked by media about all the black on black killing or black babies aborted in US every year.“

Poppy asked the Sheriff if he sent the tweet, “Yes I did,” Sheriff Clark responded.

He continued, “When I hear these things that Black lives matter, the only people who really believe that statement are American police officers who go into American ghettos every day to keep people from killing each other. Alright, so, yes I did say that and I meant it. Look, the abortions? If Black lives – if they really mattered, that’s where the outrage would be that’s where we’d see protests…”

Go here to read the rest.  We live in low and dishonest times, and a man who tells the truth unflinchingly is a pearl above price.  Brave Sheriff Clarke!

Yes. Thank you .
If they want to talk about prejudice they should talk about killing black babies in the womb and right outside the womb… and sterilizing women in Africa without them knowing it. That’s prejudice.

Any one using COLOR is making matters worse. Color divides, creates hostility, creates professional victims, depersonalizes and dehumanizes. Humans are more than their color. Beige, black, brown, pink, red, white, yellow are simple light wavelengths meaning nothing but the wavelength. African, Asian, Caucasian, Hispanic, Negro, etc are persons with histories of success, failure, suffering, and development worthy of full human understanding and support. COLOR has failed…is failing…IS part of the problem rather than the solution.

Liberal progressive Democrats today treat unborn black babies as they treated born black people in the early to mid 19th century. The Democratic Party has not changed in essential substance. It remains as diabolically evil as it has always been.
