Giuliani: 'Black lives matter' phrase 'inherently racist'
Source: The Hill
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani on Sunday said when people use the phrase "black lives matter," it's "inherently racist."
"Black lives matter, white lives matter, Asian lives matter, Hispanic lives matter," he said.
"That's anti-American and it's racist. Of course black lives matter, and they matter greatly," he said. "But when you focus in on 1 percent of less than 1 percent of the murder that's going on in America and you make it a national thing, and all of you in the media make it much bigger than the black kid who's getting killed in Chicago every 14 hours, you treat it disproportionately."
Giuliani said only a small number of African-Americans will die at the hands of the police, whereas the majority of African-Americans killed will die at the hands of a civilian, "most often another black."

(14,505 posts)The problem is that the statement I should get my fair share had an implicit too at the end: I should get my fair share, too, just like everyone else. But your dads response treated your statement as though you meant only I should get my fair share, which clearly was not your intention. As a result, his statement that everyone should get their fair share, while true, only served to ignore the problem you were trying to point out.
Thats the situation of the black lives matter movement. Culture, laws, the arts, religion, and everyone else repeatedly suggest that all lives should matter. Clearly, that message already abounds in our society.

Charles Blow comes to mind.
This conversation needs to happen in a big, public way so the Fox News side of the aisle can hear some truth finally.
