Subject: [NIgerianWorldForum] Do Black Lives Really Matter? - From A Convicted Black Chicago Gang Banger
When?
Yesterday, I posted the Atlanta story below. I'm not even sure anyone paid attention. Maybe, it was a BLACK gang murdering a BLACK 9-month old! Something tells me, if this was a White cop beating up on a mostly no-good Black thug, we would join in yelling "Black Lives Matter" :-)
And they do - but are we paying a fraction of our attention to the killing orgy in our Black communities, the same we do to White cops' killings? This story would give you a more balanced, more realistic perspective, even from the thugs we try to protect. At least the convicted Chicago hoodlum was honest:
"Even with all the latest police shootings on minorities in Chicago, I don't blame these cops one bit for most of their decisions in the field," Jones said.
"And the black community has to first come to grips with why these cops are so afraid.
"I know why. Because it's really a war zone out there. 'Chiraq' is what these youngsters call it now. And just as these officers have actually served time on the battlefield in Iraq, their main focus is to make it home. And that's all these officers want to do in the mean streets of 'Chiraq,' is make it home. They just want to make it home to their wife, their kids, their mothers.
"These are the stories of these heroic officers that go untold," Jones said. "But as soon as a black kid gets shot, everyone is in an uproar."
Those are the pre-sentencing words of a convicted career gang-banger.

Or it does, only when a White takes it:
"And he says that Jackson ordered [9-monyh old] BLACK KenDarious's murder in a "inner-gang retaliation" because the baby boy's uncle had killed a fellow gang member without permission. "Typically, in gang culture you cannot kill another member of the gang unless there's authorization from higher above," James says."
Read again - the victim ordered hit was a 9-month old baby!
Who needs KKK anyway :-(
