"Okeydoke"
"Black Lives Matter" is a cliché and nothing more. This petition is political and designed to create inflammatory mockery of the White House as to it's loyalty to black people in the USA.
Those that brought this petition and promoted it should be ashamed of themselves.
..."I think it's important (click here) for us to also understand that the phrase 'black lives matter' simply refers to the notion that there's a specific vulnerability for African Americans that needs to be addressed," the president said last week, talking to a Washington, D.C. gathering of enforcement officials, civil rights leaders, elected officials and other activists on the issue of racial disparities in the criminal justice system. "We shouldn't get too caught up in this notion that somehow people who are asking for fair treatment are somehow, automatically, anti-police, are trying to only look out for black lives as opposed to others. I think we have to be careful about playing that game."...
The cliché, "Black Lives Matter" developed out of the need for a commonality with the deaths of innocent black men. Those deaths still exist as legitimate over reaching by authority. The cliché sought to identify a reason why so many black men were dying without reason. The people affiliated with the words "Black Lives Matter" still have an unfulfilled mission in that methodologies need to be tried to eliminate the degree black men die over white men due to gun violence. There is a problem. A deadly problem. There needs to be a solution. That hasn't been found yet.
Baton Rouge, La., July 17 (Reuters) - A decorated ex-U.S. Marine sergeant (click here) opened fire on police in Baton Rouge on Sunday, killing three officers, nearly two weeks after the fatal police shooting of a black man there sparked nationwide protests, one of which was shattered by the massacre of five Dallas policemen.
The suspect, dressed in black and armed with a rifle, was himself shot to death minutes later in a gunfight with police who converged on the scene of a confrontation that Mayor Kip Holden said began as an "ambush-style" attack on officers....
One gunman is not a movement to end the unjustified killing of black men in the USA. There are going to be mimics. There is not a lot that can be done about that short of better domestic intelligence.
There are too many guns on the street in the USA and it has police poised for to kill at first glance. The police officers killed recently needs to be a wake up call to the lethal permission Americans can own guns.
