In reply to the discussion: Dreading Tomorrow, Christmas Dinner with my GF's Republican Brother [View all]JHB
(37,158 posts)100. Why should BLM highlight black on black crime?
Its focus is on excessive force and quick trigger fingers by police officers when dealing with black people. Particularly when white people are treated in a more measured fashion under similar circumstances.
People in my Facebook feed used to post outrage-inducers that followed a predictable formula: give details of a terrible crime with a white victim, then something along the likes of WHERE IS AL SHARPTON? IF HE CARES SO MUCH, WHY NO MARCH FOR THIS?
Naturally, upon reading the details of any of these cases, all signs point to the police doing their work quickly, efficiently, and professionally.

That's it- pat him on the head, pinch his cheek, and say, "You're so cute when you talk politics."
