    2:02 "Yeah as if black lives really mattered to the organization Black Lives Matter they really should be focusing on issues that have really hurt black Americans for a long time." (As if police brutality isn't an issue that has "really hurt black Americans")

    That's as far as I got... Sorry this is a video of two people I don't know and have never heard of having what seems to be a collegiate level philosophical discussion at best.

    You asked us to intellectually dispute anything the guy said. I dispute what he said 1 minute and 20 seconds into the discussion. I don't believe the issue of police brutality needs to be deprioritized for the sake of black marriage rates or in wedlock births. I think the implication is that if a black couple has a kid in wedlock that black kid is somehow going to be immune from police brutality because he will most likely not get into trouble...

    Coming from a good home and all...

    Problem is...and we all know this...it just simply isn't the case... Combine that with the fact that racial profiling does indeed occur. Even if this black kid born and raised in a well adjusted environment has a greater risk of being swept up into the system then a person of a different color solely for being black. The least we can do is address the issue of police brutality.
    As the guy says, police violence needs to be addressed, but later he goes on to explain how death at the hands of police is so small in the black community, that if black lives truly mattered to BLM, they would address what's truly harming blacks and taking their lives. He is very clear that police brutality and misconduct must also be addressed.

    He just puts it into perspective.

    Exactly and that's something BLM and the white idiots who support them have been incapable of doing.

    The Journal of Research in Crime and Delinquency reports that the most reliable indicator of violent crime in a community is the proportion of fatherless families. Fathers typically offer economic stability, a role model for boys, greater household security, and reduced stress for mothers. This is especially true for families with adolescent boys, the most crime-prone cohort. Children from single-parent families are more prone than children from two-parent families to use drugs, be gang members, be expelled from school, be committed to reform institutions, and become juvenile murderers. Single parenthood inevitably reduces the amount of time a child has in interaction with someone who is attentive to the child's needs, including the provision of moral guidance and discipline.

    So, what does BLM do?

    They discourage two-parent families.

    That's a grave disservice to black children.

    There appears to be a strong LBGTwhatever element to BLM which is ironic considering the attitudes prevalent in the black community.

    'All black lives matter': Don Lemon spars with Terry Crews on inner-city violence.....


    CNN host Don Lemon clashed with actor and activist Terry Crews over his opinion that Black Lives Matter doesn't care about all black lives.



    During an interview on Monday, Crews defended his position that he feels the Black Lives Matter movement has become silent on pressing issues that affect black people, including inner-city violence, which Lemon characterized as comparing apples to oranges.


    "Black people need to hold other black people accountable," Crews said. "If anything is going to change, we ourselves, we need to look at our own communities and look at each other and say this thing cannot go down."


    Crews insisted that recent shootings in Chicago, where 87 people were shot and 17 people were killed over the Fourth of July weekend, are ignored by some Black Lives Matter activists. "All black lives matter," Crews said.



    Lemon said Crews shouldn't be surprised people are criticizing him and later claimed that Black Lives Matter is a movement specifically focused on police brutality. "The Black Lives Matter movement is about police brutality and injustice in that manner," Lemon said, later refusing to let Crews finish his sentences.


    According to Black Lives Matter's statement of beliefs, its purpose is "imagining and creating a world free of anti-Blackness, where every Black person has the social, economic, and political power to thrive."


    The organization says it has expanded over time to focus on economic, political, and social issues that affect black women and members of the gay and transgender community. At one point, it writes, "We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and 'villages' that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable." …..snip~

    I've noticed that. Just one more group that is co-opting blacks, I guess.

    It is odd.

    That's exactly right. Although studies show that children raised in single-parent homes are more likely to commit crime, they blow that off by saying they will support one another. BS. That hasn't been working. Until and unless they admit that they've screwed up by encouraging males to have multiple baby mommas, they'll be cutting their own throats.

    No one wants to hear that young black males are more violent than young white males, but as long as there is a higher percentage of black males from single-parent families, that risk (and the reputation that goes with it) is valid.

    Obama chewed them out for it.

    But, what does he know...?

    As everyone knows, I've always said that police abuse is a serious problem in the USA.

    Unfortunately, BLM has decided to make the issue into a racial one. They've hijacked the narrative and are now attempting to redefine it for political purposes. And I resent the hell out of it.

    The disproportionate number of single-parent households in black communities is a direct result of the war on drugs.
