if black lives really mattered

If black lives really mattered how come blacks are killing each other and the blacks are not doing anything to change that?
Why is it that when you see a story in the news about a officer vs black it's the same story about the same few black people, yet blacks kill everyone from blacks, cops, whites, Asians, and mexicans yet it's not a issue or even seen?
I see this crap all the time it's so annoying. I mean it seems to me that blacks enjoy living by the blame game. Hmm I have no job because I'm black, I have no education because I'm black. I smoke crack because I am black. I kill my own blacks because I'm black. Come on this is turning into a sad old violin song. They car about how cops come into neighborhoods and attack them for no reason. Well being someone who is not black and coming from the worst streets in California and living in a place with ALL races never did I see the cops come in and say "umm hey you whites,Asians,and mexicans please step aside and you blacks stand over here so we can frisk you. Lmao that would be lame. Cops go through areas known for drugs, gangs,guns, and violence. And why do they keep going back? Here's a reason because they find drugs and guns on you EVERYTIME. Blacks attack cops, get loud, recorde themselves acting crazy and irate and over exaggerate claiming harassment. How about you want cops to stop bothering your race then stop giving them reasons to go back over and over. Stop selling crack to the people you love and stop killing them. This is not a white cops hate black people this is a blacks hate blacks. You want people to respect you then act respectable you want the law to leave you alone then stop breaking it. Get real and take some responsibility for your own actions. It's funny that the black people who act like normal loving human beings 100 percent do not support black lives matter. Get it together people.
And before we all post with replies I'm racist let's keep in mind my husband and son are black and don't support black lives matter

At the risk of feeding the trolls...

Are you under the assumption that there are no inner race killings in any other human race?

The number of black peoples that are hurt by law enforcement (regardless of officers race) in comparison to whites is disproportionate. It is, in fact, disproportionate enough to make any rational and empathetic person stop and say "Hey, black lives matter too".

we trolls know better.

anyways... it's always been to everyone, everywhere (not just in the states) 'the machine against the people"

doesn't matter the color. growing up i was warned and my skin is white (though i'm a mestizo) 'everyone! watch out for the man, they'll do you over and then turn you in'

look at the 60's during every 'movement' made possible.. watch out!
here comes the man! (wear your protective head gear and RUN to the HILLS!)

For the life of me I have no idea what you are arguing? You're point being that it is always necessary to beware of the man or that there is always someone ready to protest? The only point I'm making is that the statistics can not be denied just ignored. You can't force someone to defend their fellow Americans but it sure would be nice if we did. A specific population of people do not need to be regularly knocked down a peg to ensure the status qou but peoples in a position of power (the man) do and regularly. There is always a balance to protect with people placed in power. That's why most positions high enough up in government have mandatory time frames.
