So we have a problem where many black males are getting locked up. I will not go into the reasons for this, so many theroies abound. Whites online seem to simplify it as Blacks being barbaric, criminal by nature. I had a run in with the law...the cops wrongfully identified me as the perp they were looking for!
If I were white that would not have happened. But then the question arises why didn't I end up just another statistic? Well one is this...family, strong family bonds. My father was not on streets selling dope. He was a firefighter, paramedic (part time), and a nurses aid (part time). My mother was not a drug addict, she was a dedicated mother, suffering from a strange hard to diagnose disease...lupus.
So after my run in with the cops, I still went on to get my GED, and start college later that year. I stayed away from certain people in the "game". Or in other words selling drugs.
I like hiphop music but I see it for what it is...bullshit. Most of the successful rappers are not the hardned criminals they want their fans to see. They are entrepreneurs. So for the black live matter movement....at this point in time...BLACK LIVES DO NOT MATTER. If they did the statistics would look very different. We are all free moral agents. While I believe in America black males get heavier hand of justice, longer sentences, it seems crimes commonly commited in the hood result in black males spending longer time in jail. What I mean by this is that in white neighborhoods other drugs are sold and when caught they carry a lower jail term.
Let me get to the point here. Black lives do not matter because of the black American males are in control of their own lives. Too many wish to perperate stereotypes, and follow bad role models. This results in the prison industry booming! It also means too many black males have violent run ins with profiling cops who looking at statistics, and stereotypes are more likely to respond with violence...in some cases...more than with other ethnic groups death results.
So instead of getting upset because no black actors won an oscar, educate these black men. Provide more postive role models for them. And why in the world do black actors care if no blacks won an oscar???? There is a black awards ceremony for ONLY BLACK ACTORS and ACTRESSES. That sounds so racist!!! If there was a white only awards ceremony the country would be in an up roar.
Black lives matter as much as the black person whose life it is cares about said life. IT IS THAT SIMPLE. Regarding police violence...it is a problem affecting many in America. Yes more blacks are killed, however lets not forget whites, hispanics, asians, and other ethnic groups who also suffer due to police misconduct. ALL LIVES MATTER!!!
