Black lives matter? According to black on black crime statistics and black abortion rates, they don't, not even black people themselves.

Willing to take the L for saying the truth on this one. It's politically convenient for the left to use the death of a black man (f the police) to rally up support against their opposition as the election comes up, but without that, they will happily ignore the amount of black on black killings that happens in THEIR OWN cities the rest of the year. And then they'll happily support abortion, which is an incredible suppressor of the American black population, making sure they will never grow in numbers enough to make a political difference in this forsaken country on their own and not used as pawns by either political party.

I'm sure one day you will be able to convince me that black lives matter and we will finally do something about it to make meaningful change. But it looks like today is not that day. Judging by how the protests and riots have settled down already in less than 2 weeks, they are finished making use of black lives to further their political goals. Just like the time before, and the time before that. When does it end?

You seem sick with hatred, not to mention casting yourself as a victimized underdog who knows the Truth.

Please don't post flamewar comments to HN, regardless of what someone else does. It only makes this place even worse.

I am indeed sick of political bullshit. One day, you may open your eyes and properly understand that I, as much as you, want something to be done for black Americans to right the wrongs. However, I can't help but call out the people who are simply using the death of one garbage man who threatened a pregnant woman at gunpoint to further their political goals, and then only after 2 weeks, they go back to their regular reporting after they've made their use of the movement to do their job. Nothing has changed. They've just milked the death of a man, like they did before with the other men before him. One day, I'd like to see a real organic movement that will enact real change. Until then, this is just a spectacle in our current clown world.

What the fuck is wrong with you?

If your immediate reaction to statistics (which I am not claiming the accuracy of, by the way, since you provide no sources) is "oh, it's because they're black" then congratulations, you're a racist!

Furthermore, the protests have not died down, there have been events that sparked more protests in more places. They're just not being reported as much because "oh well that's old time to move on to the next thing", says the media.
