The Black Lives Matter Movement and America's Founding Principles


American Thinker
But the claim that "systemic" racism permeates law enforcement agencies strikes me as false.  What correlates most to police shootings and arrests is the crime rate, not race. 
. . . "The Los Angeles Chapter of BLM held a rally on June 23, 2020.  Their message: "We are demanding that the School Board vote ... to defund school police by 90% over the next three years."  This theme seems to resonate throughout the BLM movement and is often endorsed by many political leaders on the left.

"It is time we no longer embrace the well meaning slogans of the BLM Supporters or the radical agenda of the BLM Activists.  Rather, we must vigorously embrace and stand for the American way of life, characterized by a colorblind society, adherence to the tenets of the U.S. Constitution, and a return to traditional American family values.
"Thomas Jefferson is credited with saying, "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty."  We are now called upon to end our silence.  We must be vigilant — or we may very well lose the country the vast majority of us of all faiths and colors and creeds love."
