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

So you think that all back lives should suffer with racial profiling, police brutality and racial inequality because of "thugs" living in your area?

I do not agree.

I live in a predominately white (Northern) state. The black people, that do live here, are not "thugs". The majority of them are educated, work hard and care for their families. Do you know what happens to them on a consistent basis? Racial profiling.

In order to change the system you have to acknowledge that there is a problem.

The first house I bought was built in 1939. It was in a New England town that serves a Navy base. These small houses were government built to sustain workers during war time. I was very proud of this 700 sq ft house. When I went to the Register of Deeds, to find out the history of the house, I was shocked to see a purchase and sale agreement from the US Govt to the city (1952) stipulating [i]No colored person should be granted purchase of said property.[/i]

If the US Government regarded black lives as meaningless in 1952 can you possibly understand the ripple effect this has caused throughout all forms of governing bodies?

It's pretty simple. All lives matter. All people have the right to clean water, a good education, safe areas for their children play and ample opportunity for employment. When you take away the funadamental rights of individuals you leave them no choice but to find alternate means to have them met.
