More children were shot in Chicago than died of Covid in 2021.

Where are all the protests?

BLM is itself a zombie movement. It will fail over and over and over again. But of course its failures can always be blamed on "racist whites". This blame can be used to rationalize the next round of demagoguery.

There is no way to avoid the hard work of building a healthy, thriving community. (And there are literally millions of well intentioned whites willing to help in this effort.) It requires both men and women to put aside their differences and form strong families. It requires patience and vision in raising educated, disciplined children who will some day want to work within the system to share in the wealth of this country. BLM and similar left wing movements have accomplished exactly the opposite. They have amplified the failures. The failures will continue as will the scapegoating.

Daniel Patrick Moynihan saw this phenomenon decades ago in similar "Black Power" type movements during the Great Society debacle.

Many on the left hate me, but I believe in the potential of black people. I wish the best for us all. But deep cultural changes need to happen within the black community for this to occur, and the blaming needs to stop.

@irishmolly72 I won't be surprised when BLM is hit with rackateering charges.
