How's the #BlackLivesMatter movement going?


The Desecration of Fallen Officers


. . . "Destroying symbols of power expiates shame, diminishes humiliation and restores respect. Which is why desecrating police memorials feels good. It is a form of stealing valor. When the vandal is glorified by anti-police movements for defiling monuments he is hijacking heroism." . . .

. . . "She also revealed that Obama sympathized with the movement, thanks to his background as a community organizer in Chicago." . . .

In the view of America’s race-hustling professionals, there is no principled disagreement with them — there is only gross racism, either hidden or open.
. . . "If you believe that black lives matter, then you should be working for school reform, economic growth, and — yes — more effective law-enforcement and crime-prevention measures to protect black communities, which suffer an enormously disproportionate share of crime and violence. Never mind the stagecraft: That’s what you actually do if you think black lives matter.

"And the drama that’s going on in Ferguson right now? That’s what you do if you think black lives are merely useful to you — and, in the end, expendable."

. . . "Writing in The Washington Post, Patrisse Cullors, said Democrats have, "milked the Black vote while creating policies that completely decimate Black communities."

"No presidential candidate has ever centered their agenda around the worth of Black lives," she wrote. "We are committed to redefining our worth as Black people and holding our country's representatives accountable.' "
